Back to school

Jaxon started school today. I didn't realize it was going to be so hard for me to let him go back without me this year. Even though I'll be there all the time, I'm not going to be "with him". I decided to draw a little heart in the palm of his hand and I gave it a kiss. I told him if he ever started to miss me, he could look at the heart and know that I love him! I drew a heart on my hand as well and had him kiss it. I told him when I was sad and missed him, I would look at my hand and know he loves me. Jaxon had a great first day! He learned that peanuts make people sick and they die! (I guess there is someone in his class with a sever peanut allergy.) He said he started to get sad but then looked at his hand and was all better. Who knew?! Jaxon, we sure love you and look forward to all the many years of back to school to come!

Jacobs First Haircut

I have been wanting to let Jacob's hair grow out, but it has just looked so messy, and even when I tried to comb it, it would stand straight up in just one spot. We finally decided to get it cut. He was so good and didn't even cry! He looks just like Jaxon. We can't believe how much alike they look. He is such a cute little guy. We love you Jacob!

Cute Boys

The nights have started to really cool off now, so I pulled out some warm jammies for the boys. I had to snap a couple pictures because they are just so dang cute!
I have been sewing up some dolls for a church service project, and it's given me the itch to learn how to sew. I took Jaxon with me to the store, picked out a simple pattern, let Jaxon pick the fabric, and ended up making him and Jacob a Halloween trick-or-treating bag. I think they turned out pretty good for not knowing what the heck I was doing!

Spice

We have mice in our garage. I thought it would be a good idea to get a cat, to help with this little problem. Usually when I get crazy ideas, Jeremy helps give me a reality check, and I am able to think clearly again. For some reason he didn't argue with this idea, so we now have a cat. Well, let me rephrase this. We have a kitten. A teeny tiny kitten that is probably 5 weeks old. She's too little to catch anything yet, but Jaxon has fallen in love with her. Her name is Spice. We now have a dog named Punkin, and a cat named Spice! The dog and cat actually get along rather well, which was a surprise to us all. Jaxon has been taking such good care of his little kitty. He sings it to sleep practically all day long. He carries her everywhere. She is a pretty good sport and just goes along with it.

Weekend Project

Some friends gave Jeremy and I an old bed, so we thought it would be fun to sand it down and paint it. We had to do all the work in our garage because it was so windy outside. Everything in our garage is now covered in sawdust, primer, and red paint. By the time we were finished we had red paint everywhere as well. We sure had a blast getting it done though!

Jacob's nurse came today. At her last visit she told us we would probably have to have physical therapy come in to work with Jacob if he was not sitting on his own by our visit today. We are happy to report Jacob is sitting on his own, army crawling around, trying to pull himself up on furniture, and just as healthy and happy as can be. We are so blessed that he is doing so well! The nurse left us with very positive feedback, and so impressed with his progress! Can't wait until next month. We sure love you our little Buggie!
