Hunter has been attending a class on Crime Scene Science this week. After class we go to the pool at the Rec Center. Below is a video of Hunter enjoying the slide. There are two other boys in his class. Daxton is 11 years old - he and Hunter hang out at the pool after class. the other boy is Hunter's age and is also home schooled.
Our friends from California who moved out here this summer are back in town. Hunter went to school with their daughter Allison. We are planning to get together with them next Wednesday. We are really excited to reconnect with them.
This weekend we are heading to Indianapolis to see Grandma Lola and Papa Jon - just because we can! It is only a 4 hour drive for us. We are so excited to see them. This will be our first trip there in years where Lola will not have to do our laundry!! I'm sad about that, but I am sure she is happy.
We continue to plug away at school. Hunter has started off the year with a bang. He is especially liking our bible study which is Young Peacemakers - all about how to resolve conflict. His first grammar test is on Friday!

Update of our first week of school
We survived the first week of school!! Hunter is doing a great job and is able to work much more independently this year. He is an amazing student! We did not have school on Friday because Terry took the day off from work - so we played this weekend. It was a fun time and I think we all needed some extra time together. Hunter especially liked going to the local pool on Saturday. Last Thursday Hunter got his new reading glasses!!! Since we will be doing A LOT of reading this year, we were happy to have them.
We are getting settled into our corporate apartment. We told Hunter he will get to experience what it is like living in Manhattan or Japan. I've included some photos for you to get an idea of our living situation. As you can see, we've had to multipurpose many rooms.
Food Network has nothing on me! Anyone can cook up a great meal with a full kitchen and all the utensils at your fingertips - try doing a full meal with three pans, one baking dish and a spatula. Well, actually we have more than that, but you get my point. Dishes are done every night since there are only four of them!
Hey - who is that handsome guy? It's Terry hanging out in our living room. I forgot our wireless router from home - BIG MISTAKE! No Wifi here - we are plugged in! Thankfully Terry can use his data plan on his iPad or I would be at Best Buy right now!
We brought a cot for Hunter to sleep in, but he prefers to take all the back cushions off the couch and uses it for his bed. We tell him he has the biggest bedroom in the complex!
Finally the master bedroom which also serves as the game room. Hunter has his Wii hooked up in here. He looks comfortable doesn't he? He did a lot of swimming today with Terry so he is exhausted.
After several months of vacation, today was the first time we were able to go to church as a family since MAY!!! We had a wonderful time - Hunter enjoyed his class. He reported back that there is another boy named Hunter in his class.
Tomorrow Hunter starts a week-long class called Criminal Investigation Chemistry. It is for 9-12 year old kids. They are going to learn how to use science to solve crimes. Now if you steel his cookie, he'll be able to figure out who did it. This week our friends from CA who moved here this summer are also back in town. We look forward to catching up with them!!

4th grade starts today for Hunter!!
After a long summer vacation, we started 4th grade today in Nashville, TN!! We are going slow the first month of school so we can ease in to everything - today we did math, history, state capitals, reading, and typing. Hunter has also started his Greek Mythology book which is one of the electives he chose for this year. We will also be doing Young Peacemakers, science, grammar and writing. Hunter is also going to be taking Mandarin from a local college student.
Today we also FINALLY ordered Hunter's reading glasses. They should be in later this week - it will make reading much more enjoyable for him.
