Summer

Summer has come and is almost over already! It has flown by. Got to visit with my sister who flew in from CA. It was a short visit but it was great seeing her. Then came VBS which I had an impressive 18 kids in the 2nd grade class I was teaching. Bryan was in my class.... I don't think it bothered him that much that I was his teacher..... hope he had a good time. Jesse really LOVED VBS. It was his first time in an actual VBS class instead of the nursery. I have also been helping every Tuesday night with our church's Basketball Ministry and Backyard Bible club. I have had about 16 kids in the older kid class each Tuesday night.

Still ahead a visit from my father and stepmom.... and then the kids head back to school. Really love seeing family and having them come visit. Its hard being so far from almost everyone.

Jesse and Bryan have both grown and matured. Bryan will be starting 3rd grade and is a fantastic reader.... still my little drama king though. :) Jesse is coming out of his shell more and more. He is really talking well and trying to communicate better. He loves music and cars. Still dealing with some quirks having to do with the autism but he is not having as many "bad" days. He is almost potty trained.

One more thing I am really looking forward to.... a visit from my friend, Mindi and her son at the end of August!!! :)
