***On a side note, G is becoming quite the reader. He LOVES reading, which is so exciting....we both share that love. He is excited about learning and comes home constantly quizzing our family on odd facts and history. Looks like we need to brush up! He started soccer and is much more aggressive this season. He has grown so much! He is seriously the most amazing kid!!
