Where have I been???

Hey! Long time- no post! Life moves fast, and between life and a broken computer, blogging hasn't been a top priority lately. But alas, here I am again! Let's see what has been going on.....

The school year is going really well. The kids are loving school and excelling in their classes. Both boys have been recognized out of their classes for a special award, and Ethan found out today that this month he got picked out of the whole 3rd grade to be student of the month. He was very excited, and we are very proud of him! He deserves it! Sean has started in the enrichment program and is one smart little dude! He's not as out with knowing facts and figures, but he is very smart and stinkin funny! Kaitlyn is our social one. She loves school not for the work but for the social part. She is learning to read, but she has really started to show a love for art. She love, loves to draw and color and paint. She is good at it too!

Nat has grown a lot! He has two teeth, waves, claps, says mama, dada, bubba, kiki(kitty), pulls up, cruises, and sleeps through the night! He is one happy little guy! He is giggly and constantly smiling. He loves to play with the kids now, and he just fits in our family. He loves his family and loves 3:05 when we pick the kids up from school. He has a buddy at church and preschool named Samuel. Those two boys just love each other! They smile and give each other kisses and hugs when they see each other. So cute! Nat is at a very fun age, and we love seeing the little boy he is becoming!

Jarod and I are doing fine too. We stay really busy with work and church. We got to enjoy spending time with the Youngs coming down in October and Dana here a few weeks ago. We are so excited to have family coming here for Christmas! I love having company so if you want to come visit, let us know!

We are going to have a fun weekend this week. Fridays are my favorite day b/c Jarod and I are both off, and so we get some time with just Nat before we kick off the weekend as a family. Tomorrow night we have the Northside staff Christmas party. It is such a fun group of people, and we love! spending time with them. Saturday we have a birthday party and football. Sunday we are getting our tree and decorating our house, and then that evening we are headed up to church for a Christmas event. I love weekends full of family, friends, and good memories!

That's my update for now! Hopefully I will stay up to date and post some pics of the kids soon!
