Yes, its been almost a month AGAIN since I was here. I thought we were going to try to make sure that I kept up with this blogging thing better? I need your help..keep reminding me..haha!
Jonah's birthday has come and gone. My baby is a toddler now, and approaching the 13month mark in only days already! His birthday party was such a great time - thanks to all of our wonderful friends for celebrating with us! Amy's cake was amazing, so much so in fact that we almost didnt want to cut it for fear of ruining her creation.
Then it was time to play dress up - Halloween! I think the most difficult part of the whole experience was chosing the costumes - who knew that kids could be so indecisive!? In the end a muscular Spiderman, a Fairy Princess, and ferocious little Monkey graced us with their presence for a Fall Festival at church and on the streets of SJAFB.
Now its November and it finally feels like fall! Bring on the jackets, jeans and hats! And if we complained, which we dont, we might even say its COLD right now!! After so many months of humidity and heat the cold air is more than welcome to stay for awhile. School is good for the kids. Jacob has finished his first grading period of Kindergarten and has passed with flying colors! Report cards arent used in his class, so instead he got an award for doing great work and for having perfect attendance so far this year. Way to go Jacob! Chloe is loving preschool. She is learning to write her name and loves to wear her backpack:) Jonah is walking!! About a week before his birthday, he took a few very tentative steps. Now he is moving all over the house on only two limbs - yeah Jonah! I have yet to take a pic of this new milestone, but I will soon.
Speaking of milestones, you will love this one! I went to the dentist! Ordinarily its a task that isnt worth mentioning, but for me (and those of you who know me well understand) its a huge ordeal! To say that I am terrified of anything dental is putting it mildly. I have made excuses one after the other to avoid making this step. But for whatever the reason, last week God gave me enough strength to make the call. Yes, I realize that this seems funny - but its NOT! I WAS SCARED!! Of course, being that I have been putting things off for so long, I do have a few things that need fixed, but over all it wasnt as terrible as I expected. Just keep praying that I continue being brave and not run away screaming from my next appointment - did I mention that said next appointment will be for a wisdom tooth extraction!?!?!?!
So there you have it - a short update. Any questions? Love to you all!
