Kindergarten, here we come!!!

It's official. Connor is now a Kindergartener! I can't believe it. The ceremony was really cute. The 2 and 3 yr old classes went in first to sing. They were adorable. Then the 4's came in one by one. It was a Hawaiian themed ceremony so the girls wore grass skirts and the boys wore lei's. They danced and sang, then they went up 1 class at a time and received their "diploma" and their medal with their name on it. My parents drove down just to see Connor and then drove right back home. Connor was really surprised to see them!

I did get it on video, but I have to ask Ray have to upload it. In the meantime, enjoy the pictures.

I am Lara, a thirtysomething who is just now starting to figure life out. I am a very proud Army wife to Ray and a very proud mommy of Connor (7). Between hubby's job and his National Guard commitment, and Connor's school, speech therapy and horseback riding for OT, I'm finally finding time for me. I LOVE my family, sonic ice, Target, Hobby Lobby, Christmas, cold weather, cupcakes, mexican food, MOPS, flip flops, crafting, cooking, baking, spending time with my friends, photography and the occasional date with some guy I call my husband.

Connor was born on September 11, 2003. After he was born, we were informed that he failed his newborn hearing screening. As it turns out, Connor was born deaf but perfectly healthy. We were informed after meeting with a few specialists, that Connor was a canidate for Cochlear implants. We were beyond thrilled! Our little boy would hear! He had his first implant surgery 1 week after his 1st birthday and his second surgery in May 2006. He is still about a year and a half behind in his speech and language, but he is really making progress everyday. He's been through more in his life than anyone I know. He has also been diagnosed with kidney reflux that we discovered while on vacation in California in 2007. He had surgery to correct is in 2009 and it worked! He is currently in 1st grade and rockin' it if I might add. He goes to speech therapy twice a week and horse therapy once a week. He rides a horse named Chaney in hopes of gaining more confidence and he's making huge progress! He loves math, writing, word searches, legos, running around, climbing trees and eating. He is really an amazing kid and we are SO blessed he's ours!
