During Abby's Fall Break I took a personal day and we had a family fun trip to the aquarium and watched them feed the sharks. My hernia was hurting me so bad that I ended up hurting my back. But the family time was worth it and much needed. On my Fall Break I volunteered in Abby's class for the first half of the day and ate lunch with her. I had an absolute blast and was very proud of my wonderful, smart daughter. I witnessed how terrific she is in school and how she excels (not that I didn't already know this) it was good to see for myself. Ben got to go to her school the following week for First Grade Celebration Day. He took the boy and ate lunch with her and watched a video of her class. He brought home a painting she did in art class that was unbelievable. I know I couldn't have painted it that well right now. She also had her Halloween Piano Recital and did a fabulous job. We are so proud of her.
The boys are getting big too!!! It is fun to watch their personalities develop. Blaine is more laid back and easy going while Christian doesn't stop for too long at a time. They are running, climbing and jumping!! They love to push the laundry basket up to the couch, door, chair, gate, etc. and try to climb over or onto. Christian loves to put the laundry basket over Blaine and then sit on top so Blaine can't get out. Blaine does not love this. The boys had a twin moment. Christian had his fingers smashed in the door and Blaine grabbed his own hand (the same one) and started screaming. It was crazy!! Poor babies.
Hopefully I can do better about updating!!!
