The Last week

Thought I would give a little update on the happenings of our family the last week :)

This last week, Madi went to Preschool.  Well....kind of.

My friend Teresa, who works at NO Jr High, told me of a preschool class the students were putting on as part of their curriculum.  So on Mon, Tues & Thurs, Teresa came and picked Madi up, and 2 hours later I went to fetch her.

I was kinda nervous, just because it takes her awhile to adjust to new people.  But Teresa said she was very good & clicked with a couple of the students.  Is it bad that it made me realize that I can't wait for her to actually go to preschool.....the free time :)

In an effort to occupy Jaxson's time, I got out some punching tools & construction paper and let him go to town.  This lasted for a good 20 minutes.  The kid is having a hard time not having his brother/playmate at home; I try my best, but I'm just not Jordan.

These are some fun shots I took of Madison.  The camera was upstairs, she pointed, babbled, and I snapped.

Tuesday, after being perfectly fine in the morning, hit a slippery slope throughout the afternoon.  I got sick to my stomach, culminating in a trip to the bathroom & some gagging.  My Dad came to our Rescue that night.  He brought over a pizza & kept my kids from starvation.  I woke up the next morning feeling better, just tired, and my kids were happy to see me that way.  Poor James though, he's got it today :(

Yesterday was Saturday which is also synonymous with soccer.  Jaxson  played really good.  Really good.  He cleaned out GPa Clegg with his 6 goals!  He got so excited each time he scored.

It was a hoot to watch him play.  Jordan also played a good game.  He scored his 2nd goal of the season, with a really great assist {basically the kid on his team stole his thunder and he was dribbling the ball down the field}.  I've realized that Jordan is fantastic as a midfielder {he's got the endurance of a runner}, and that's where he's best at.  It was so great to see him on the break-away.

Today, Sunday, we are heading to the airport to pick up Austin.  After about 19 months of not seeing him, we will get a whole 11 days to love on him.  The boys are excited.  I'm excited.  It's great that he was able to come home for Michelle's wedding {which is 5 days away!!!}.
