Updates

Well, thanks to Aunt Dana and Uncle Nate, kitty (aka: Sophie) has a wonderful home. AND we found out that he is a "she" - woooops - missed that one!

Jude is climbing on everything - he can get onto any surface he want which has been a real challenge for us - we've got hawk-like eyes!

Jackson is adjusting to school. He's bringing home his school work everyday and man, do they do a lot. He seems to really like being at school - separating from us in the morning has been a little challenging, but it'll all come together! It's great to have him in Loretto with me everyday - when I can, I walk up to get him at the end of the day and we walk back to campus!

Found: One Cute Kitten

Wednesday evening on our way home from soccer practice, we found this preciuos little kitten on our lane. We haven't found his owner, but we may have found a good home for him. Jackson has definitely taken a liking to him, but since we already have a cat, we think someone else should take "Tiger."

You Know it's a Rainy Day When........

You've got curls!

Good bye #5, Hello #6

I can't believe it, but Jackson turned 6 yesterday - Wow! His party theme was Legos! We all had a blast. Thanks to everyone for coming and making Jackson feel like the King of Legoland! This photo is the highlight of the entire party - Grammy Linda's homemade creation. Jackson thought it was great that no other kid in the whole world ever had this birthday cake (although it's so cool that some other grammy might swipe the idea).

Nature Update: Walking Stick

This is the coolest bug we've ever seen - it's called a walking stick. We've only ever seen these in books. Way too cool!

School Days

Well, today was the big day - first day of Kindergarten. Jackson woke up, got a shower, ate breakfast, and was really excited to get going! He was a little nervous about finding his classroom, but when we arrived @ school, his buddies were unloading from their van, so he was able to walk in with them. He had a great day. Let' s hope the good times continue!

Our First Soccer Game!

Our first soccer game was this morning. Our team, the Electic Eels did great. Although there is no winner or loser, my guys kicked 9 goals - Jackson kicking 2 of those. They rocked. They did everything just like they do in practice. The blue jerseys are perfect for the "eels." I was so relieved to be able to rely on the other coach to mentor me through my first game as a coach. I've got it now and I'm ready for next game. We have team pictures on Monday -can't wait to post some!
