James finished reading the 2nd Potter book yesterday. He was totally ecstatic when I picked him up from my parents after work 🙂 It had taken him a long time to get into it (since before last year) but for some reason when he picked it up again this week he couldn’t put it down. It’s really quite nice 🙂 He was just so happy and proud that when we got home last night and got ready for bed, he jumped right into Prisoner of Azkabahn 🙂
It’s quite something to see him, at 8 years old, devouring a book like that. His head was right into it the minute we got into the car this morning as I drove him back to my parents for the day 🙂
In other news, we got home last night to find most of the top soil laid out for the landscape. The guy had actually run out of top soil so he’s coming back this morning to finish off the right side of the house.
I have to say. Our yard is huge. Way bigger than we expected! The kids are going to have plenty of space to run around once everything is settled! The lot looks very impressive now and I can only imagine how much more so it will be once the grass is installed on Monday!
It’s been a rough financial ride getting here, but it’s an incredible rush 🙂
