Make a Smilebox greeting What a wonderful time we have with our precious children!

I wanted to share a couple of new pictures from yesterday at the park.

If you know Jordan, you know she holds her tongue like this a lot. Thought this was pretty cute!

Almost 6 months old

Jarrod was making a castle in the gravel equip with all the necessities: a mote, alligators, soldiers, and cannons. He says to me sometimes," Momma, don't you just like it when I use my 'magination?"

And I can't forget to mention that He rode his bike for the first time on Monday WITHOUT training wheels!! A VERY BIG DEAL!!:)

K5 and 5 MONTHS OLD

Several milestones have been met in the past two weeks. Jarrod started Kindergarten September 2nd and Jordan is now 5 months old. Can you believe it!

Jarrod is doing great. We are homeschooling at the present. Right now, he knows just about everything we are studying. I'm still following the Lesson Plans though until he gets in the swing of things, then I'm sure we will pick up the pace. Both he and Jordan had checkups this week at the doctors office. It's so hard to believe how quickly they grow. Jarrod is a solid 50 pounds and

Jordan is now 16 pounds!

Speaking of Jordan, she is rolling over, back to front, and sitting up like a pro(has been for about 3 weeks now). She likes bananas, but that is as far as I've tested. She still does NOT like cereal(I really don't blame her. Have you ever tasted the stuff?). Still no teeth, but she is chewing on ANYTHING she can get her hands on. Talking about hands, that reminded me, she has discovered hers and it is so funny to watch her look and play with them.

One of our teens from Michigan got to stay for several days with us on the way back to college in Pensacola, FL two weeks ago. Thanks Dana! We had a really good time. Jarrod says he misses you and hopes you will come again to play policeman and cowboys. We are so proud of you!
