Family Life is GOOD!!

Hey Fam and Freinds,
Life is good right now. Lil Danny just started his spring break today. Over here they get 2 weeks spring break which is weird but makes sense because they start school here a month earlier then back home. Lil Danny is super excited to have spring break here so he can play with his best friend Brice who is leavin the island on the 19 of April to go home for good. He doesn't really understand that his best freind is goin home and not comin back but we have a feelin that when that day comes Lil Danny will be very sad. Alot of his friends on our street have moved off the island and now to lose his best freind will be hard for him but all a part of military life I guess. The beginning of May we have parent teacher conferences with Lil Danny's teacher and his teacher will let us know if he is ready to move on to 1st grade or feels he needs to repeat kindergarten. We hope that he is ready for 1st grade but if he isn't then repeatin kindergarten might be a good thing for him. Help refresh him on all that he has learned in kindergarten so the following year he will for sure be ready for 1st grade. He so far has done well in school and has learned and improved so much on what he knows compared to when he first started school. He misses playin with his cousin's Hailey & Alyssa and thinks its funny pickin on his brother Robert.

Robert is doing good. He has become a ornery cranky child because he has 4 more teeth comin in. 2 on top and 2 on the bottom. Once these teeth are in he will have the front of his mouth complete. Hurray for that!! We will be glad when the teethin stage is over. He is always wantin to eat. He can pack away food like no other and he'll eats lunch or dinner and then 15 minutes later he is right there by the fridge wantin more. He is never satisfied with what he has in front of him to eat. He enjoys playin with his brother when Lil Danny isn't pickin on him and enjoys bein outside in his swing or playin on his slide. He loves to take baths but loves to splash the water more. It's like you need to wear a poncho when you give him a bath to avoid gettin soaked.
Big Danny and myself are doing good. Big Danny started his 30 day block leave last week Thursday and is happy for that. I (Mindy) am just wonderin if I am gonna go crazy havin Big Danny home for 30 days and Lil Danny home for 2 weeks at the same time. But it is good because Lil Danny and his Dad will have 2 weeks to spend together without school takin up most of the day. Some much needed father-son bonding time. Other then the new news you read about we are just takin our good life one day at a time here in "Family Life N Hawaii"
