T

Twentyth letter. This is also my 200th post. Well, actually it's the 201, but I didn't get it worked out for the T like I wanted. So pretend it's our 200th post. Okay? For it, I'm just going to give you an update on our lives here.
Ty has the auditors coming this week at work. It's not a big deal, they come every October. The bummer is that since they will be here, he doesn't get Columbus Day off. I could put him to good work that day. Oh well. He's also realizing that with you thyroid dose where it should be, you have a lot of energy. He's also lost over 20 pounds in the last few months. It's been nice having him back to normal. He's itching to work on his mustang, but I won't let him work on it any more than necessary until our bathroom is finished. We are finally starting to make process on that!! Yea!!!
I am doing... well, nothing new. I have a friend who is going to let me borrow her jogging stroller, as long as I start training with her. So now I'm committed to helping someonelse get in shape, so hopefully I will get in shape as well.
Jordan is loving school. She is so funny. She asks me every day if it's her day for snacks at school. I'm trying to help her understand that she has them about once a month, but it's not sinking in yet. She got her new hard homework last week. She gets a packet of homework on Monday and it's due that Friday. Well, last Monday, she nearly finished her homework packet. She was upset that I made her stop doing homework. I can't believe how much info her little brain gobbles up. I'm glad she loves school. She's learning to read. She finally understands how to blend sounds in a word to make sense. She's got these beginning books that she just breezes through now. It's incredible.
Liam. He's getting so brave at this whole walking thing! He can go several feet now before he loses his balance and plops down. I think he prefers walking unless he's in a hurry. Then he does this cute speed crawl thing with his head down. Sometime I'll have to try to catch it and the walking on video camera for you. He is total and complete boy. I guess I figured that the boy traits were somehow learned, but nope. They are innate. For instance, he loves the mud. I'm not sure if it's the water, or the mud he likes the best, but he just loves being in it. He just sits there and splashes and plays in the mud until he's filthy. He also LOVES cars. Not necessarily the movie, but toy cars. And real ones, as long as they are loud. We probably have at least 10 matchbox type cars, and they are the most used toy in the house. He's so smart too. Like, he knows that the cars move better on the linoleum than they do on the carpet. He also knows that banging things on the linoleum makes more noise than when you bang things on the carpet.
