Hi! I figured it might be about time that I got around to updating this blog. So, since it has been so long, here is an update on each member of the family.
Jamie - Has been doing well in kindergarten. His teacher gave him glowing reviews at parent/teacher conference time. He had his PALS test in October, his teacher said he needed a 28 for the beginning of the year and an 83 at the end of the year and he was already at an 88. What a smart kid we have! His favorite part of the day seems to be riding the bus in the morning. His current goal for the future is to be a bus driver when he grows up. His skills have blossomed so much lately that the Mathew's Center feels there is not really anything more they can do with him for now. So, they will discontinue their services for him when we go to Christmas break. It is great for him to be doing so well, but, we will also miss the assistance they brought to our home. They will continue to check in on occasion, and if he ever reverts or faces new challenges, they will gladly return and to assist again.
Corinne - Loves going to her preschool and seems to wish it were more than 2 days a week. She also loves her baby brother and frequently points out to us that "him have eyes like people do" and "feel him soft, touch him head". She is big into the holidays this year she loved dressing up for Halloween and knocking on doors to trick-or-treat. And, she has a rather long Christmas list because she asks for every toy she sees on TV and most of the ones in the store.
Morgan - Is very a cute, good natured little guy. He has recently become interested in toys and we have been finding him turned different ways in his crib in the morning, so, there is a bit of mobility going on as well.
Jim - Has been been at work with various new projects. He is also over half way through his final semester a GMU. Midterms went well and by mid December he should be an official EIT(Engineering in Training). Yay! He needs 2 more years of work experience to take the PE Exam and then he will be a full fledged engineer.
Jenny - Mostly, I just run around taking care of everyone else. I pick up Jamie from school in the afternoons (until xmas break), I drive Corinne to and from school, and take care of all the usual (shopping, laundry, bills, etc...)
