1st day of school

well, our big boy is officially a preschooler at our local public schools' preschool. he started jan. 5th when we got back from michigan. it was a little rough for me, and for him, but he seems to be enjoying it the last couple days. he goes to school 4 days a week, from *8:15 to 11:15/30. they don't reallky focus on much academically, but he is getting the socializing that he needs, i think. i still homeschool him a little, about 3 hours a week, and i think he'll be ready for school next year when he gets to go to the Christian preschool that we hope to send him to. he talks now about playing a lot at school and about playing on the computers. he comes home a little crazy and wild most days, but i'm hoping that will calm down a lot, as he he gets used to school. here's a few pics of our big boy:

while we were in mich.

we had a lot of fun, as i mentioned in the last post... things just keep comin' to my mind... like when we got to go out for breakfast with my good friend becky and her family... good time to catch up, laugh, and just have fun!!

Christmas '09

well, we had a wonderful Christmas and i hope all of you did too. i've been EXTREMELY busy, so i haven't posted much, but i wanted to do a quick post to let you in on our fun... we made the long trip back to michigan, driving, with our new van, which was a huge blessing! the new van has a dvd player, so there was entertainment for much of the trip. we spent a week and a half in michigan/traveling and had lots of fun!! we were busy everyday with something to do and people to see. jacob made his first snowman with oma and jayden had her first carousel ride, which she loved!! we spent some time with family and friends and even got to go to the omaha children's museum with "uncle" russ, "aunt" vicki and xander. but, as i said this must be quick, 'cause now it's back to the grindstone and i have to get to work before i get fired... haha....
