Start of another school year...

Its the start of another school year! Bryan is now a middle schooler and Jesse is in 2nd grade. How does time go so fast???? This summer was packed full of activities and it went by so quick. Hoping to be able to blog more this year, time just got away from me last year.

Bryan is acting older all the time. He loves art, music, reading, and math. He is talking about going to Midwestern when he is older and going through the Fusion program as well as majoring in Humanities with a mission emphasis. He is still very much my little clown and loves entertaining others. Bryan enjoyed going on a mission trip this summer in which he dressed as a clown and handed out balloons to people (he really loved that he had permission to be silly).

Jesse loves Star Wars, Mickey Mouse, the color orange, math and writing stories. His favorite game right now is doing Story in the Rounds. He has a sweet spirit and recently accept Jesus. He says he wants to be a head chef at a school someday. He is still very dependent on routine and schedules and has a hard time with crowds and noise but is getting better all the time. He LOVES giving hugs and wants to be just like his older brother.

Chuck and I will be celebrating our anniversary this coming week. I am so glad God put him in my life. He is a wonderful husband, father to our kids and my very best friend and I wouldn't want to walk through this life's journey with anyone else. I truly love our life together.

Back to school....

The long (HOT) summer is over. It was great spending time with the boys while they were off from school. We stayed pretty busy.... VBS, Basketball, camps, and a trip to Minnesota. The boys are back in school now. Both full day for the first time.




Bryan is in 4th grade and is pretty excited about his class being tech based. They have laptops, smartboard, video camera and digital camera to use in their studies. He is becoming such a little man and his likes are changing and maturing. He is more into older kid things and is looking forward to being a part of the church youth group and being a teen. (Lord, protect him and keep me sane!!!)

Jesse is in Kindergarten and doing really well. He loves being a big boy and riding the regular bus with his brother. His days are still pretty busy though. He attends a mainstream class, and specials (art, PE, music, Library), as well as speech therapy, Occupational therapy, Physical therapy and works with the special needs instructor. He comes home happy, yet exhausted!



I thought I would have all this time on my hands once the boys were in school, yet I am still crazy busy!! Working on things for the church, helping people out and running this way and that. LOL Had to have an "Off the Grid" day a few days ago and stayed at home watching tv, reading, napping and doing a few chores around here... ignored the door and phone.
