4.0 still intact!

Grades were posted today; Adam found out that his 4.0 is still intact. He is just under half way through with this degree. I'm not at all shocked/ surprised, but I am very proud. Adam has managed to find a way to balance taking care of his family, work and school – and excel at all three! Just six more classes and he'll be all done! We are so proud of you sweetie!!

One "Christmas" down!

Ryann was home this past weekend. Was I the only one who thought those two days FLEW by?! I hate when our weekends with her feel that way. It's like before we know it we're dropping her off, and I'm thinking to myself weren't we JUST here? BUT, Christmas break is just around the corner; and she will be here for almost two weeks!

Saturday morning Aiden had his last day of reading school for this session. His teacher said he did great! Scored a 100% on everything. She seemed rather impressed with his language skills, telling us that he is sure to have an easy time with that part next session. So his mommy and daddy were beaming with pride! Next session they will begin blending sounds, and actually do a tiny bit of reading!! I'm so excited, I can hardly wait!
He'll finishes up swim school this week. I have been blown away at what he has learned, and how quickly. He actually swam the length of the small pool last week. He has learned to swim a little ways, then come up for a breath and continue. I got video... just need to figure out how to get it on here.

Saturday night we had our "Fuson Christmas" at our home. We all had a wonderful time! It really felt like Christmas. We had a TON of food and fun. The kids got some great gifts and more importantly, got to spend time with their Aunts, Uncles and cousins. I really wish we had more time to get together as a family, but life is crazy busy; so I guess we'll settle for holidays and birthday. Although with eight cousins, we could potentially get together once a month!

I'm being totally lazy, so if you want to see pictures from Saturday you're going to have to go to our albums and take a look.

We hope you are all doing great!
Happy Holidays!!!

Burrr!

We visited the ICE! Exhibit at the Gaylord yesterday. It was BEAUTIFUL!!! We prepared pretty good for the below freezing temps, so we really were not that cold. It's hard to believe all of this is carved from ice.

Here we are sliding down the ice slide.... that was fun :)

Aiden was in a great mood, and ready to take in the sights; so we were able to walk all over the hotel taking in all the wonderful Christmas decor. Aiden said his favorite part were all the really cool trains.


Christmas came a little early; Aunt Kay bought Aiden this totally cool scooter!

It was a wonderful day, and really got us into the Christmas spirit!

Believe it or not, I didn't share all the pictures we took, so to see more; check out our photo albums.

I've been sick for what seems like FOREVER. I am starting to finally feel "normal", so that's good!
Ryann was home again this past weekend. She brought her report card with her. She seems to be doing really well. We are not at all surprised, but proud none the less.

Aiden is doing really great in reading school. See what he has learned to do....

Yes, he wrote these all by himself!!!
Aiden is also doing really great at swim lessons. He is now able to swim a few feet on his own!! We are so proud, and looking forward to summer!!!
Aiden visited Santa, and let him know EVERYTHING he wanted for Christmas. Ryann is still very unsure of the fat man. Oh well; maybe next year.
I guess that gets everyone caught up. We're pretty boring these days.
We hope you are all doing great!
