Ok, I know it’s been a loooong time since the last post. I’ve been busy! Our kids were sick, John was sick then I got sick so we have been trying to get better. All of us are on the mend PTL!
Jeremiah has been loving school. He is doing really well. Next week we have our first Parent/Teacher conferences…so we will see what the teacher has to say.
Alison has been such a good helper around the house. She misses her brother while he is away at school but I think she is really enjoying her time with Mom and Dad.
Hosanna is EVERYWHERE. No kidding. That kid can climb walls, windows….anything. I don’t think she has a “slow” speed. She is very cute though.
Judah turned 9 months old this week. He loves eating and sleeping, of course. He is also getting very busy. He is crawling everywhere, chewing on everything and just going everywhere. He just got two more teeth in the last couple days making the total 5. He started clapping this week as well. He is just so adorable!
John has been working as usual. He is getting ready to go elk hunting and fill our freezer-yay! Be praying he gets a big one this year :)
We have been doing more home improvements…or spending more money, that’s what it should be called anyway. We hired out the finishing in our family room and hopefully it will be ready to paint by the weekend or first of next week. I installed laminate flooring in our kitchen yesterday…it was fairly easy and free! Our good friends, the Smith’s had replaced their laminate with a different color laminate when they remodeled their kitchen this summer…so they donated the older stuff(which was only a couple years old) to us! It looks great and will look even better when we get all the trim, ect finished.
I have been staying very busy as well. Our church took about 80 ladies to a women’s retreat in Cove, Oregon a couple weekends ago and it was wonderful! I found out a very good friend is getting married in a couple months-yay Kristin! And I have been spending some very special time with my friend Genevieve before her husband takes her back to the east coast…she has been here all summer while he served in Afganistan. I am going to miss her so much! I think my kids might miss her just as much if not a little more…they love their Miss Genevieve. I have also been doing a lot of sewing lately…all kinds of little projects. I am hoping to have some things ready to sell at the church craft bazaar in December.All is well in the Thorndike household overall. We are getting ready for a busy fall…so hopefully I will be better about blogging :)

Last Friday was a very busy day! Jeremiah had a special lunch at school as it was Grandparents Day. The grandparents were invited for a free lunch with the students. After lunchtime, the kids showed the grandparents around the campus. It just so happened that Jeremiah was also class President the same day! Both Papa and Nana joined him, as well as Grammy! He was so excited and showed them all the fun stuff about school. He also took them on a tour of his class showing them where he sat, played, ect. and also the beautiful "B's" he was chosen to write on the board that morning. Such a great day!

Rose Ceremony
So yesterday at Jeremiah's first day of Kindergarten, they school had a Rose Ceremony. The Rose Ceremony is where they welcome the students and the Seniors each give the Kindergarteners a rose. I had ben given a heads-up by a friend who's daughter is a senior...so I made sure to ask Jeremiah about it on the way home yesterday.
"Jeremiah, did you get a rose from the big kids today."
"No. Mom...they gave roses to all the other kids and I was the last one and there wasnt any left for me." (sad pouty face)
"I'm sorry Buddy."
(Big smile) "Ha! Mom, I'm just kidding...I didn't want one!"
He is such a little turkey! I thought this was so funny.....until, I got the real story from his teacher this morning.
I was dropping him off and stopped to say hello to his teacher, Mrs. Hansell. She said he was doing great. I was so glad. She asked if he told me about yesterday and I said yes, that there I knew there was a ceremony. Apparently, when the senior came up to Jeremiah and offered the rose to him, Jeremiah put out his hand to stop him and said "No, thanks. My Nana is allergic and I don't want any to get on me, cause she is allergic." (shaking his head with this "serious look"on his face) Then he got in line with the other students who had roses and just smiled.
Mrs.Hansell said he was so polite about it! I think this is hilarious for a couple reasons....I know what "face" he was making and can totally see him saying "no thanks"...and his Nana is NOT allergic!
Oh...the stories that will be told this year...I can't wait! :)

My little Grizzly
Jeremiah started school today! He did awesome and loved every bit of it. He was most excited about having 3 recesses...lol
Jeremiah and his good friend, Victoria...they were so happy the teacher put them next to each other :o) Victoria's mom, Kristi, gave Mrs. Hansell a warning about how talkative these two can be....just call them double-trouble!

Change of Plans...
After a crazy day of registering Jeremiah for Kindergarten in Pendleton, we got a phone call that he was accepted to Helix School District. We originally had planned on him attending their school, but after a summer of being on the waiting list and hearing they were full...we realized we had better get him set-up in Pendleton. They had a few kids drop out and that made room for Jeremiah! We are so excited for his Kindergarten year...we have heard great things about his teacher, Mrs. Hansell and the school. He will be able to attend all day...which will be great since he has already had two years of preschool...he is really ready for the full day. Also, he is so happy he will get to go to school with his good friend, Victoria Keene! I am sure this will help him with the transition. All that being said, yesterday we took him out to the school to see his classroom and take care of paperwork. He was so funny and he kept saying "cool". On our way out, the kids asked if they could run around the tennis courts....Hosanna spotted one lone tennis ball and the kids must have played for twenty minutes! A wonderful day...
