Peter was very lucky and got to have both sets of grandparents here for his birthday. The poor boy did not get balloons until later because we all got sick with the stomach flu and forgot to go grab some. Peter is always fun to watch at Christmas and his birthday because he gets so excited. Some of his birthday gifts this year were a remote control car, a bop-it game, monopoly junoir, and MONEY! Peter is a very diligent student in school and is still doing well in his advanced math, reading and language arts class. He says he still wants to be a math teacher when he grows up (his Grandpa Farrow would be proud!). Peter is really into Harry Potter right now, Pokemon and Dinosaur King. I find lists of wizard spells, Pokemon and dinosaur species all over the house these days. He also loves to make up games to play with his siblings; although he is always changing the rules so he can have the advantage. His favorite game to play right now is Monopoly Deal and wizard duels with his wand against Rigby. Peter is a very responsible older brother and is always looking out for his younger siblings.
Peter also has been able to finish his Wolf Rank in cub scouts. Here he is at his first and only pack meeting as a Wolf.
This is a poster Peter made for one of his Duty to God requirements. These are all of the temples we have been able to visit as a family as well as a lego temple we have built.
Over Christmas break Peter and I were able to learn about some history of Covington. We learned about how Native Americans first hunted and lived on the land, then the French owned it and sold it to the United States which shortly after sold it to John Wharton Collins. It was originally called the City of Wharton, but was renamed Covington for unknown reasons. Here we are at Covington Cemetery where John Wharton Collins is buried.
We love you Peter!
