Our 1st Grader

School picture time!

A new friend

We went to Crow's Nest Farm today and had a lesson on snakes. Hudson made friends with a milk snake - red touch black, friend of Jack. Not to be confused for the venomous coral snake - red touch yellow, poison fellow. Lucky us, over 110 snakes species in Texas with the four most common venomous ones right here in central Texas. 

Tiger Cub

Hudson was so excited for his first Cub Scout meeting. He's a Tiger Cub this year. 

(And since Kirk was the only parent to stand up when they called out Hudson's den at the bigger pack meeting, he is now the Den Leader. )

Funny conversation

As we got ready for bed tonight, I had a funny conversation with Hudson that I have to share. 

Me "Did you do any Math today?" 

Hudson "yeah, 6+1 and 4+3" 

Me "oh cool, what does 4+3 equal?" Hudson "Dad, I'm not a math major!" 

He did eventually tell me 7 though. :)

Off to First Grade

Hudson was excited to start school. Definitely a different experience for him since he already knows his way around the school, knows a lot of the faculty, and sees friends in the halls. 

He only has two kids from his kindergarten class in his first grade class, but Hudson said, "no problem, I'll just make new friends." Love that attitude!

Back for a visit

So great to have Marie back in Texas for a week-long visit. 

Whale watching in the San Juans

Picture perfect day to be out in Puget Sound watching the Orcas. 

Caught a crab!

Possibly the smallest crab you've ever seen while playing at Snug Harbor on San Juan Island, WA. 

Exploring Mt Rainier

Hudson loved the trails, massive trees and exploring as we made our way to the visitor's center on Mt Rainier. 

SeaFair in Seattle

Fantastic day out on a boat on Lake Washington to enjoy the air show at SeaFair.
