Fall Update!

Update on us! It's been a crazy couple of months! John finished soccer the beginning of November and his coach highly suggested he play in the spring, as he has a knack for it I guess. I am glad he enjoyed playing. Mom and I took the boys to Rodgers Farm to pick their own pumpkins. They really had a blast running around and getting covered in dirt! LOL

Dave is still slaving away at Elderhostel, hoping and praying for something else to turn up in the job market before Senior Tourism dries up permanently in this crappy economy. :( I am still up to my eyeballs in 2nd grade but I love the kids! Paperwork is tough this year but I know I will get a hang of it eventually. This year is flying by!

John is 3 months into 1st grade and reading pretty well. He is really sounding out words now and decoding all on his own, which is really cool!

Kevin is still getting speech therapy every week and is really making strides this past month! He is starting to attempt two or three words in a phrase. Not always correctly, but at least he is attempting it!

Patrick is still being a little silly sensitive bean, and gets funnier every day! Boy is he big too! He can wear a 3T already-- so much bigger than John ever was!

Halloween was upon us before we knew it! A very generous friend of mine gave us two costumes that her twins wore last year. So Patrick was a dinosaur and Kevin was a monkey (how appropriate!!!). John decided he wanted to be an animal too and he current favorite animal is a giraffe! He had to wear a toddler costumer because we couldn't find him one that was his size or a pattern to make him one. He was happy though once removed all the elastic in the sleeves and pant legs. It fit much better then!

Going out the Trick Or Treat in our neighborhood-- it was a blast!

And now we are waiting for Santa to come and visit us! Christmas is right around the corner, this is the first year the twins really know who Santa is and are really excited about it too!
