We’ve had another really great week here at the Nabors’ house. Aiden started bringing home homework about 2 weeks ago. So, we’ve been working on getting him in a good routine with that, soccer practice and home chores. His teacher has slowly been adding more and more…now he has so much homework to get done that he really doesn’t have much, if any extra time to just play. So we really look forward to our weekends now, although not even weekends are homework free. Aiden doesn’t mind, though- at least not yet. We’ve got a parent teacher conference coming up in just over a week, and I’m really looking forward to talking with his teacher. I truly believe he ended up with the best teacher for him this year. However, I’m really ready to be further into the school year, when she can spend more time with him and truly understand where he is academically. Right now she is still trying to figure all of that out, so Adam and I feel like he has a ton of busy work coming home, rather than work that is actually challenging him. His teacher has already moved his math work, spelling words and reading up a few levels, but he is still not being challenged. GT cluster time starts next week, we are all really looking forward to that! We’re very blessed to have a teacher that sees he is ahead, and is willing to put in the extra work to learn where he is, modify her curriculum, and spend extra one on one time with him. Teachers and so overworked now days, and I really can’t say enough good things about his! Here are few pictures of Aiden in class that his teacher shared from this week.



I don’t have any new news on Ryann. She should have given her student council speech on Tuesday, and the voting results should come home today!! I really hope she won a spot on the council; she was SO excited to be running. We’ll check in with her this evening, and I’ll update as soon as I can afterwards.

Adam and I will be celebrating our SEVEN year anniversary on Sunday!! In so many ways it feels like our wedding was just yesterday. We’re celebrating with a weekend to ourselves. Aiden is going to spend the weekend with Gamma and Papa, we’re all looking forward to it!
I’ll update again soon.
