Friendly Visits

We had a great visit with some of our friends these last few months.

In August we had Chips and Ginny, then Grandma and GG-ma. This last weekend we had Kemper, Julie, Cameron and Caroline. Whew.
We have had a great time with all of our visitors and we all hated to see them go. Every time Skyler would say "Lets go with them!" If only it was that easy.

This last weekend Skyler got a good taste of what it would be like with younger siblings. He was really good with the kids. But, he was so jealous when I was paying attention to one of them and not him. He still wants a brother or sister, he is leaning more towards a brother though. We went to a Braves baseball game with them and we had a good time.
Skyler's favorite part of the weekend was Cameron going with him to Karate class. Cameron did really, really good. He caught on to what was going on and he was stomping away with the rest of the class. When the kids would huddle up around the teacher, Skyler made sure Cameron knew where to go. So sweet.
He also loved baby Caroline, he had a few questions for Julie about what she was eating, her pacifier, why she ate /slept so much, ect...

Skyler is still doling well in school. I am surprised at how quick he is catching onto everything. He'll say "Oh Yeah" like he already knew whatever we are trying to teach. He still doesn't quite get that Scott and I are also his teachers, not just at school.

This week and next week are a lot of  our doctor visits. Boo! And, I think a flu shot is in there somewhere for both of us. Double Boo.

Here are some pictures of this last weekend.

Settling In

Wow this summer has flown by.

Let's see we bought a house and moved in the first of July YAY! We are so excited to finally be back in our own place!! Skyler started 1st grade in August, poor kid this will be his 3rd school already. And, this is his 3rd major move to a new house within a year. Now that school has started and everything is almost un-packed he is starting to settle down..emotionally. Little did we know we moved into a community with a bunch of kids. Just on our culd-a-sac there are about 10 kids in elementary school. It is a little bit of an over load for Skyler.

Skyler has always talked about the karate kid and tried to do some of the moves so, we enrolled him in a class in August. It is great, and we all love it!!! The teachers are really good with the kids. Many of the life lessons they teach reinforces what we have already talked to Skyler about. For Skyler and us (parents) it is awesome!!! Skyler has already worked his way up to an orange belt, his next goal is yellow.

God is amazing!! Scott and I have seen him work many, many times in our life and we are still soaking it in. Don't lose hope when all is failing around you, hang on to Him. This is my life scripture: Rejoice in Hope, be Patient in Tribulation, be Constant in Prayer.
Romans 12:12

Here are some pictures of the summer and Karate... Hi Yaw!

Hum... what are the boys up to?
