Anyway, life is good here right now. Josh has started writing his thesis (which is actually a little shocking because it means we are moving in three months) so he is just working from the Verona library-5 minutes from where we live. And the big plus is that it doesn't open until 9 so he doesn't leave home till then (during his PhD he has always left at 6:30) and then he comes home at 5:30-at least 30 minutes before he used to get home. I am getting totally spoiled having him around more. The boys are really loving it too.
I do a co-op preschool with 5 other mom friends of mine and their 4/5 year olds. A couple of weeks ago when it was my turn to teach we did Dr. Seuss. That was the best theme ever-we had so much fun doing Sneetch star on off machine, making Cat in the Hat hats, eating Schlopp Schlopp Beautiful Schlopp, Beautiful Schlopp with a cherry on top, etc. It is a mad house when I teach here-6 preschoolers plus Jack and Dallen but oh well. I am putting a picture of all the kiddos on the couch in their hats. It was fun.
My mom and brother Jason came to visit a week ago. It was Jason's first time in WI so it was fun to show him around a little but it rained and was cold the whole time they were here. Jason bought a Wii while he was here and we had never played before...now we want a Wii! That was fun! The boys loved playing with grandma and "Uncle Coco" too.
Jack has learned to pedal his tricycle-that is one of my favorite things to see. My cute little almost 3 year old riding along on his trike with a big old helmet on. I just thought of a funny thing he did recently: I was at McD's with a friend letting the kids play on the play area and eating lunch. This friend has a baby that is about 5 months older than Dallen. I went to get our food and when I came back my friend told me that Jack had said to her "Our baby is cuter than your baby!' Nice Jack-we have to have a little talk about appropriate things to say to our friends.
Dallen is cute and fun as always. He is not sleeping well again and acting like the reflux is bugging him more and more so I might be calling the Dr. this week to get him on medication. He is so smiley but I can't get any giggles out of him yet. I can't wait for that to start. Today I did my own little photo shoot with him. I am tired of going to Penney's for professional pictures and not being very impressed with them and paying for them, so I decided to give it a whirl myself. Not bad for 5 minutes effort and a bedsheet for a backdrop. My next project is to get one of all three boys together. That could be harder!
I have to say, I have always thought Dallen looked more like Nathan but in this shot I see a lot of Jack.
Kids just tell it how it is! That is so cute.
