New Table, New Bed, New Honor Roll Student

Victoria has made first quarter honor roll!!! We are very happy about this! She started out with an F in Pre Algebra, because she just wasn't understanding. Her teach is a great teacher David and I think because she actually grades each problem on the homework, and will make you show your work. Victoria was bringing home F's on all homework and quizes. She was not able to do a whole lot for a while untill her grade was brought up.She brought her grade up from a F to a B-!! All her grades are A's and B's!! We went out that weekend and bought her a bed that she had wanted, and a few accessories. We are very proud of her!!
Victoria is pretty busy right now, Suessical the Musical starts the 2nd of December!! She has had play rehearsals at least 3-4 times a week, along with chores and excersizing, it makes for a LONG night! She is really looking forward to it and so are we!!

She has an Honor Roll awards assembly on Thursday and then a potluck that night for ROTC. She got promoted to a Private. She is becoming an amazing young woman!!!
We got ourselves a new table and we are very excited about it!! Our other table we had for 9 years almost!! It was definately time for an upgrade. We only had 4 chairs, which in a few weeks we will be a family of 5!!! We are growing up!!
I went into the doctor last Wednesday and our DR told us Noelle is already 7 pounds..... Noah was 7 pounds when he was born!! He says we will have quite a big baby!! I am hoping she doesn't wait untill her due date to arrive. That is one BIG baby!! I will be going in once a week now, they have me one week ahead of where I had myself. I am not sure which to follow, but I figure as long as I hit 36 weeks at my time she will be fine!! To them on Wednesday I will be 36 weeks!!! For me I am 35 weeks today (Sunday).
Noah has been doing great he recently wanted Martian Matters, something he saw online, and all he did was sing the song that we had to buy it!! Luckily they had it at the PX!!! He told us he will never be bored again, but that was a lie....he only played with it for 10 minutes and told us he was done and bored..... Thats kids I guess!!! He is definately looking forward to Christmas and his new sister coming!!!
We are looking forward to the Christmas markets here, they start the day after Thanksgiving. I am really going to miss Black Friday in the states, this will be the first year in a WHILE that I haven't gone!!! So instead I am going to a Christmas market and Gingerbread Factory! Most of our Family will be at my brothers wedding!! We will be thinking of you!!!!!!!!! We miss you ALL!!!!

Way to go Victoria. Congrats on the new table. Does it have an extension...
And how come I can't get away with wearing shirts like that any more? Better yet, why don't they make those shirts in our size?

Nope no extension, just a long table!!

If they had one in your size I'd buy it for you, I bet Erika would LOVE it!!!! All his shirts are superheros now.....
