Cute Pictures, Bad Outfit

All I have to do is ask Jack to vacuum the den...

Happy 41st Anniversary, Kiki and Grandad!

Saturday Morning

I brought Jack some Tempera paint home, from school, and promised him he could paint, today. Well, it is raining, so we had to improvise. I'm not sure this was a good decision. The funny thing was that he keeps telling people about the paint that daddy bought him. I'm not sure how I lost credit for that one...




Holden's new trick...




I spy a tooth...

pulling up and trying to talk

Warning: You will probably find these videos boring, unless you are related to this cute little baby.

Sane Mornings

I am in the middle of my first week of work, with 2 kids in daycare and I have found a few things that help me keep my sanity while getting all of us out the door by 7am...


Setting out clothes....



Breakfast is ready....



Bags are packed....


And, the fridge has lunches made.

By the way, you might notice that Jack has a prepackaged Otis Spunkmeyer muffin ready for his breakfast. The kid is skinny as a rail and I am attempting some higher fat foods to put a little weight on him. Dinner tonight consisted of tenderloin, mashed potatoes, and steamed broccoli. The only thing he would eat was the broccoli. Also, my mom has been buying him Boost (which he likes) and I've switched back to whole milk.

Celebration

We spent last Saturday, celebrating Will's 2nd birthday. A day trip to Atlanta proved to be not too bad, for the 4 of us.







Jack is finally becoming more organized with his train tracks. Usually, he likes to build elaborate tracks that go all over the floor and don't seem to have a purpose. Tonight, he built one that made a circle and had characteristics to it...

7 months

I feel like I have driven circles around Jefferson County, this week. I was given the chance to familiarize myself with communities like Mulga, Maytown, and Minor. The 2010-2011 school year has begun! The summer re-energized me and I feel motivated to have a great year.

On another note... Holden turned 7 months old, yesterday. He is such a big, sweet boy. He loves everyone. He started daycare on Monday and did great. He has always been so easy going. Jack starts back to daycare, next Monday. He is doing well after his tonsillectomy. We had some rough nights and a bunch of mood swings, but he seems much better. I know he'll have a hard time returning to daycare, but he'll be happy to see his friends.

We are headed to Atlanta, tomorrow, to celebrate Will's 2nd birthday. I am looking forward to seeing my brother's and their families.
