Isaac's First Day of Preschool


He was so excited! So was I- sort of. Can I really be old enough to have a kid in school? Don't answer that.

After Church on Sunday September 3rd we decided to pack a picnic lunch and head down to Lake Padden for the day. It's one of our favorite places. After lunch Isaac wandered along the shore tossing rocks while I read a book and Matt and Max napped in the shade. What an awesome day!

I'm a deadbeat blogger

Wow. My last post ended with a comment about 3 month old Max. Now he is 5 months old. I guess you could say we've been a little busy. Matt started school at the end of September and is continuing to work at Alpha part-time. We don't see him much.
I am busy being a mom. I am also in MOPS leadership and heading up the design part of the building expansion and remodel at our church. As if that's not enough, I am making and selling handmade greeting cards for some much-needed supplemental income and I am taking a home-study course to get my real estate staging certification to go with my design degree from the Art Institute of Seattle. Sometimes I remember to breathe.
Isaac started preschool! I can't believe it but my baby can write his name now! That seems so simple- but it is really huge to a mommy! We celebrated Isaac's 4th birthday on the 6th of October with a big party- lots of friends came to his CARS party!
Max is actually grasping toys now, he likes to lock his legs and stand up ALL the time! He loves his exersaucer because he can stand up in it and turn around. He is also rolling over and he just graduated to eating rice cereal. He sleeps through the night now in his own room(otherwise known as my office)- which is GREAT. It won't be long and he'll be ready to move into his permanent bed- in his crib sharing a bedroom with Isaac. We just need him to be a little bit bigger before we can trust big brother alone with him.
Okay so there's your update- now I just need to start posting pictures!
