What a summer!

Well this has been one crazy summer with a lot of changes. Morgan started first grade, Brooke started preschool, Jackson started putting himself to sleep in his own bed, Morgan learned to ride her bike without training wheels a few months ago with the help of her Bompa. Brooke decided a few days ago that it was cooler to ride with only two wheels instead of four so she told her dad she was ready. We took off her training wheels and without any help she was gone. Jackson realized that if he pedals his bike he can get there fast instead of just walking it so he learned how to pedal.

We had SEP's with each of the girls teachers and found out that Morgan is being sent to a second grade reading class and she scored way above average on the dibbles test. We also found out that Brooke is also above where they would expect her to be with her writing, tracing and counting. Her teacher told us that is stuff that they don't really see till about January after months of learning in school. Jackson is getting to the point that you can almost have a full conversation with him and understand him. Jackson loves to play with toys and other kids but for some reason we can't get him to do that in nursery.

Justin is still going to school and doing really good. He just received another award for high honers at school. Finally got another raise at work and staying very busy with work, school and a family. I started applying for school so that I can get a good job once all my kids are in school and what better time then now to get it done.

Justin and I just celebrated our 8th wedding anniversary and 2 birthdays. We are looking forward to celebrating 2 more in the next 2 weeks. We are also looking forward to Halloween,
Anthony coming home in November, Thanksgiving, another birthday, Christmas and New Years.

We finally after a year got family pictures done again. We are excited to get those back and we will post as soon as we have them.
