Here is Jax making his daddy proud. I can't wait to see his face on Christmas when he sees that he gets his own drumset!

Too long

Sorry for the delay in posting (I am probably the only one to read this and it won’t be for a couple years). School has been keeping everyone busy. We had Parent teaching conferences for Jax in his first year of preschool, the teachers love him and raved how cute he is. He does need to work on his skipping and dribbling, but most of his other skills are up to par. It is sad that testing has crept into preschool and kindergarten. Jax is loving preschool and Sunday school. He was a little upset today in church but he decided to wake up at 5:45 this morning. He and B are napping right now; they have not been able to change their internal clock to go along with the time change.
Ang and I went to a banquet at church for people who serve at church on Friday night. It was nice to go out and have adult conversation while Grams and Gramps watched the boys. Both boys had a hard time when they left. Part of their sadness was due to Daisy leaving as well. Brady ran down stairs instead of getting me on Saturday so he could see Daisy instead. Daisy was so tired from being chased and played with.
Brady is talking so much now, he keeps on saying Me Me whenever we go anywhere in case we forget about him. I don’t think that we could forget him with him being so loud. The poor boy dropped some cans on his toes today and his big toe nail turned blue almost instantly. It had to hurt and he cried for a long time.
Jax has eaten ice cream two times this weekend without too many ill effects. He was getting backed up but he did not this weekend. The deal tonight was that they had to eat their corn or potatoes and then they could get their ice cream. Jax ate them but B was being stubborn and would not eat either. That made him very upset as well but he forgot about it until he smashed his toes.
It is nice to be finally winding down in my Masters classes. Only two more weeks for this semester then I am that much closer to being done in the summer. IT will be nice to have that done with and I can focus on being a teacher and dad/husband.
Hopefully I can start to post more once I settle down a little. Christmas is coming and I cannot wait to see the boys reaction when they wake up. Jax is getting a drum set and he is going to freak out when he sees it.
