Quite the family... :)

I must say, we have quite the family. Don't you agree?







A friend of mine did the pictures. Isn't she great? We tried so hard to get Liam to smile more for the pictures, but alas, it didn't work out.
Now, for a quick update for us...
Ty- He's just working like a mad man. He is going in earlier now, so the days seem even longer.
Kristi- I am still running. The plan right now is to run a half marathon in mid November. I should be signing up by the end of the week. I also feel like I'm running like a chicken with my head cut off in the mornings. I am trying to get some sort of schedule down as to getting one kid up, then the other, both fed, and at least Jordan dressed and her hair done and out the door by 7:45. We're slowly getting there.
Jordan- She's loving school. She is making new friends, and at least that other girl doesn't seem to hate her now. I've figured out which kid it is and it's the girl that sits right next to Jordan. The biggest problem is that she doesn't really want Jordan talking to her, and if you know Jordan, you know that she can't not talk. Hopefully they will work it out through the year.
Liam- I know I say this every time, but he's growing like a weed. He gets into everything and knows how to push stuff around to crawl to the other side of things. He loves to push things around!! He's walking along furniture and can step from object to object holding on with only one hand. I don't think it will be too much longer before he walks, and then I think he'll be off to the races. He's such a happy kid too. We have been so blessed with him. He and Jordan love to play together! As soon as we pick her up from school, his eyes light up. Once we get home, he just follows her everywhere. It's so fun watching them play together and love being with each other! I don't think life could get any better.

Practically Perfect

This is Jordan's first day of school. I know, a Tuesday. Weird, right? Anyway, the day for her was practically perfect. The only thing that could have made it better for her was if that one girl wanted to be her friend. Apparently one girl said Jordan wasn't beautiful, and didn't want to be her friend. Of course, I had to tell Jordan the girl must have something wrong with her if she didn't want to be her friend. Anyway, she looked lovely in her school outfit. My mom made the jumper and finished just barely the night before. What am I going to do with a kindergartener???

Did I mention that Jord (as she prefers to be called now) loves to pose?

Jordan and Mrs. Miller. (We requested Miss Gerber, and Jordan almost cried when she found out she had Mrs. Miller. Thankfully yesterday when we met the teacher, we found out that Miss Gerber got married over the summer and was now Mrs. Miller.)

This is after school when the kids are walking to the "pick up box."

O........

Oak City days. Oh, how we missed them this year. I know there have been a few other years when we've missed them, but not many since we've been married. I can't believe how sad we were about it. We were actually going to have Jordan do the trout catch this year. Then there's the yummy lunch!!! We hoped those of you who went enjoyed it.
