    Lots going on here at the McCain house! The boys are still all recovering from a long "McCain Boys Weekend" this past weekend while I visited a friend in AZ. Chris definitely kept them busy while I relaxed in the desert...it was quite enjoyable!

    Hayden continues to love school. He attends a science, technology, and foreign language magnet and I am very impressed so far. He has Spanish everyday and I cannot believe how much he has learned already...he counts in Spanish without even realizing it sometimes. His writing and reading have taken off and he loves to learn new words. His personality and sense of humor are unbelievable! He cracks me up so many times a day and usually at the most unexpected times. His teacher tells me almost daily what a sweet and well behaved boy he is. He recently took his karate test for his black/white belt and once again got a perfect score on his test and earned his fourth trophy...the kid is a machine! At the end of this cycle (eight weeks) he will take a test to get into the next level class. This class is for 7-9 year olds....and Hayden will only be 5 1/2 at the time. Makes me a bit nervous.

    Hudson absolutely adores his brother and will copy almost everything he sees him do. It is amazing the bond they have already formed. I was a little worried about the 4 year age difference between them as far as relating to each other and bonding, but they have already put my mind at ease. It is obvious that Hayden is going to take very good care of Hudson! Hudson mastered his ISR swimming classes in 6 short weeks...originally his instructor told me 8-12 weeks but that wasn't Hudson's plan! He tested out by showing that he could fall into the pool, float on his back, flip around and start swimming, float, etc until he could reach the side of the pool and pull himself out......all while wearing long pants, shirt, jacket with a hood, socks, shoes, and a regular diaper!!! He is amazing. He still only has 6 teeth, but there are currently a few trying to break through.

    We just got word that PopPop is probably going to make a visit in a few weeks so we are pretty excited!
