Caroline's favorite babysitter (Autumn) and her friend Cammy

We met Autumn (dark hair) and her family a few years ago when her step dad coached Hunter's baseball team. Caroline loves Autumn and she is such a great kid. Beautiful inside and out and she has such a good head on her shoulders. They let me get some practice in this day for senior shoots I am doing.

Autumn also has a sister (Faith) that is in Hunter's class. Hunter asked me the other day if I believed in love at first sight. I told him I sure did. He said "Mom, I think I am in love". I just had to smile! He also told me he wasn't going to recess anymore and is going to the library instead. I asked him why and what he did at the library during this time. He said he reads and works on the computer with Faith. I told him I certainly approved as Faith must be a good influence.

We are very proud of Hunter

I received Hunter's CSAP scores and his math was good but his writing, reading, etc was a little behind. We looked into hiring a tutor for him to catch him up in areas that were lacking. Soon after, I received a call from his first grade teacher at Aspen telling me he was chosen to be in a tutor program sponsored at the school. Only a select few students (4th and 5th graders) are chosen each year. When talking to her, she mentioned that he was selected based on qualities such as leadership and caring. As a parent, I was so proud to hear this and the call could not have come at a better time. Prayers were answered. He started his training this week and they finished early as the five selected seemed to catch on quicker than the teacher thought they would. They start tutoring the 2nd graders next week in reading and the program continues until February. He will tutor twice a week after school.

We are very proud of him!!!!

More football photos of Hunter

Hunter got to choose his number for his jersey. Why he chose number 13 I don't know. The best thing is the name on the back... "Sitter". I am having this photo printed large and on pearl paper to frame for Mike's office. This is going to be part of his birthday which is this Sunday.
