Here's an update!

School is underway, for 2 of my boys. Christian is doing fantastic and has even decided to switch tracks. He got into school thinking he would be heading along the Finance track, but has recently changed his mind. He's now on the Marketing track! I'm so proud of him and all he puts up with in school. It takes SO much of his time, but he's doing a great job and I can't wait to see what happens next! Holding my breath for the next 2 years I guess! :)

Jaden LOVES LOVES LOVES school still! Wednesday's they have Library day and it's so interesting to see what kind of books he's interested in and brings home. (They get to keep them for a week.) The first time he brought home a book all about Marine animals. He was so excited to show me the HUGE whale! He was so fascinated in it, I thought it was fun to read to him. Mostly a very factual book, with lots of pictures and very small writing with facts everywhere! (Did you know that most adult Walrus's weigh over 1 ton?!)

Now to this week...there's a little story first. Jaden is obsessed with puppies. (If you didn't know that one, you obviously don't keep up with our blog!:) ) He loved having my sister's dog here this summer and really does miss Macie. So this last week he started talking about how we need a puppy for Christmas. I just tried to be honest and straight with him letting him know that "No, we won't be getting a puppy for Christmas."

After hearing about this for DAYS, I finally asked Jaden why he felt like we needed to get a puppy for Christmas. His response was too cute. "Because Mom. You know....like in Toy Story....the happy ending!" Anyway, again had to let him know there just wasn't any way we were getting a puppy.

So I thought he dropped it. Until he came home with a book on Wednesday from the Library. It's called something like the Un-Christmas Story and has a picture on the front of a kid with their puppy! Yes, he is obsessed! It'll be fun to see what books he continues to bring home!

Since we are talking about Jaden I might as well share something else he said this last week. His good friend Misha, and our neighbor, happens to be in his class at school. She still seems slightly nervous about the whole bus thing and it's so cute to see her just cling to Jaden's backpack as they walk onto the bus each morning. I was later talking to Christian about it and I could tell that Jaden was listening. I turned to Jaden and said "You take care of Misha huh?" He responded "Nope, I just like to look at her." He still makes me smile!

So, all this time at school leaves mommy and Kyler time! Which has been fantastic! WE get to go to playgroup. And WE get to go to story-time. And I get to play outside with just KYLER! It really has been fun to have that time with just him! He's growing up so much and is really good at saying Thank You when you give him his breakfast, lunch, dinner, a toy, anything. Pretty good manners for a little guy. I'm sure he's said some funny stuff too, I just can't think of it now. He misses his brother in the mornings, but is getting used to this new schedule with a lot of mommy time!

I am still working at the Rec Center coaching gymnastics and loving it! I love my schedule this fall. I seem so keep myself and the rest of the family busy with all the stuff I sign up for and want to participate in, but loving it all.

WOW! So, there's an update for you. Guess I haven't been taking as many pictures since Christian has been home. I'll have to keep up better with that. But it had been a while since a post, and thought I should fill you'll in. Hope you smiled or laughed a little!
