Uncle Kevin's visit and other news...

Hello again! I'm sorry I don't have any more pictures to post this time just updates. I will post more pictures soon so stay tuned. :) Uncle Kevin came to visit over the weekend and we had a wonderful time. Him & Raegan did take some crazy pictures and she really enjoyed that. She loves her Uncle Kevin and loved it when he brought in his tuba so she could listen and help out. Avery also loved Kevin's playing especially when he played "Frosty the Snowman" for him. He clapped for him when he was done. We had a wonderful time and can't wait to see him next month. :) We love you and miss you Uncle Kevin!

Raegan made another 105 on her spelling test last Friday. We are so very proud of her for all of her hard work. She has been doing wonderful on her reading. She is reading D level books. She is also doing great in math. We are so proud of her!

Avery has learned how to say hi and wave hi. He also says bye and waves bye. It's the cutest thing! He loves to sing and dance with me. He has the sweetest little voice. He loves to clap and give kisses. He also loves to wear our hats around the house. He is very vocal and loves to crawl up on the couches.

We are so very proud of both of our children for everything they have accomplished!

Raegan's movie....

Raegan made this video yesterday. This video is also on their babysite. She did such a great job and we wanted to share. Check it out and enjoy!

Our princess...

I took these pictures of Raegan yesterday before school. She made another 105 on her spelling test last Friday. Thank you all for your prayers. She has another one this Friday. Her words are a lot harder this week but we know that she will do wonderful on it. She has been working so hard on them.

Our little Man....

Geoff took the picture of Avery in his headphones and I took the one of him smiling. He is talking so much these days. He says door, feet, no, eyes, and much more. He will wear hats sometimes around the house but not for very long. He is into everything and is such a good boy. We are so very proud of him!

Time flies when you're having fun....

I can't believe that we are already in the middle of September. I feel that time is flying by. Raegan has been in school for about 4 and a half weeks and is doing wonderfully. She made a 105 on her first spelling test last Friday. We are so very proud of her for that. She started getting her spelling and reading homework the Tuesday after Labor Day. She has been doing great in all of her schoolwork. Monday she got her progress report. Here is what she made on it:

Language Arts: 100
Math: 92
Science: 93
Social Studies: 100
Reading: 85 (this grade means that she is on the level of reading that she is supposed to be on. As she becomes better at reading this grade will increase)
PE: 95
Music: 95
Art: 95

We are so very proud of her and how well she is doing! Please keep her in your prayers tomorrow since she has another spelling test. She will have one every Friday.

In Avery's world, he is growing more every day. He is walking around like a pro and will try to run when you chase him or come after him. He is talking so much and says mama, dada, dog, no, don't, let's go, go, and so much more. He also shakes his head no when you ask him something. He loves to help me with laundry, he enjoys taking it out of the basket and throwing it on the floor but I appreciate him trying. He loves to be in the same room as we are and gets into everything. He loves to make funny noises with his mouth. He loves to sing into his bat and talk on his play phone. He finally figured out how to climb on the couch and the chair and ottoman the other day. He was so proud once he got up there. He loves playing with his ball and playing with his sister. He loves to be tickled and is very ticklish under his chin. We can't believe that he will be 2 in 3 about 3 months. He is such a joy and so much fun!

We thank God everyday for them. They are the light of our lives.

Quote of the day...

I found this quote today when I was looking for an appropriate quote for the kid's site. I thought I would share. Enjoy!

"Children seldom misquote you. In fact, they usually repeat word for word what you shouldn't have said."

Oops...

I accidentally deleted the kid's blog earlier today, so will have to start from scratch. I would like to thank Aunt Mary for coming up with a new name for the kid's blog. I feel it fits perfectly. Thank you for that Aunt Mary! Thank you all for your patience as I get the kid's site back up and running.
