Ryne turns 9, Mark makes wine, Rody shines, & Jodi whines!

Mr. Ryne will turn 9 on April 19. He has decided that this year, he wants a tailgate party, since he is into football and basketball. His invitations were made from Kamyra.com, and look like actual superbowl tickets. We've invited the whole 3rd grade, and will be partying like rock stars.

Dr. Mark has begun making wine. So far, he has made a pinot noir, white zin, green apple reisling, and blackberry & blueberry mix (Boo Boo's Favorite). Its a strenuous process-what with Jodi having to taste all of the concoctions!

Mr. Rody had is pre-k screening last week. The lady said "sir, I have to tell you bad news-your son does not qualify". Apparently, the Road-Dogg is operating at a 5 & 6 year functioning level, identifying 19 colors in 30 seconds (are there 19 colors?) and mastering the alphabet while standing on a chair.

Mz. Jodi, on the other hand, is still whining. Working continuously on her dissertation, she plugs on day after day, trying to impress boring faculty with her words. Someday, it will pay off, but not today. :(

Anyways, the Wilson-McKnight clan are looking forward to Brooklyn's wedding and are ready to get down and do the funky chicken at the reception. Ryne is also thrilled that Uncle Matt Wilson married Terisha, who has a nephew Carson, and they are big buds. Otherwise, we are turning 9, making wine, starting to shine, and forced to wine/whine!
