Tiring Day at School

The Boys

  I love this photo of the boys.  It depicts their personality to a tee.  Jacob is so goofy at times and has many different looks.  He is giving Caleb one of his looks.  

Aunt Dee's Visit

We had not seen Dallas' sister Dee since Thanksgiving.  The children were all excited to see her today. The kids enjoyed her visiting for a few hours.  She has been working on a quilt for Nicholas for a long time.  Today she brought it to him.  It is red and blue because Nicholas' favorite team is the Atlanta Braves and it has lots of baseballs on it.  I know he will cherish it!

A Week of Firsts for the Boys

The boys went to their first college basketball game this week.  Dallas and Nicholas really wanted to go so they agreed to take the boys.  Zachary decided to tag along too.  The boys have a very short attention span so I didn't think they would do very well.  Surprisingly they did good and made it through the whole game.  When they came home they were saying "Go Pirates."

Christmas Eve we took the boys to church for the first time.  It was a family service so there was not childcare.  The boys did pretty good.  So tonight we decided it was time to see how they did in the nursery.  We played it up big time and told them that they were going to school like Alyssa, Gracie, and Julia. They acted very excited. Once again they did very well.  The teacher said they had a difficult time with transitions but they were able to redirect them.  She was surprised they did so well it being their first time.  It is going to be so nice to go to be able to go to church again.

First Post of the New Year

Starting the New Year with a blog post.  Told you I was going to do better this year.  Here are a few photos from the park on the last day of December
