I've missed writing and documenting all that we have to be thankful for and the little happenings in our lives. The best news is that Matt recently switched jobs at Honeywell and will now be flying as a test pilot which has more regular hours, e.g., daytime and no weekends. Aside from the occasional trip for Corporate and training stints, he will be home in the evenings. The kids and I are very grateful in this struggling economy to have found a job that fits our family better.
It's been a little hard to get into the spirit of Thanksgiving and Christmas with the abnormally warm weather of 80-90 degrees. Did you know that it gets hot enough to pop corn right on its stalks? We learned that at Casper's farm fieldtrip. It does allow us great park days, though, which we've been taking time to do on a daily basis. Casper loves being able to go to recess 3 times a day now and he's picked up some very good boy social skills playing tag football and a couple of friends as well. I cry because I'm so relieved and grateful! We feel also lucky to have moved to the only school district that provides a registered nurse in each school, so he is able to get his medicine and blood sugar checks at the office and head back to class.
Stewart has blossomed into our toddler that loves everything that starts with a b: babies, balls, boots, bikes, brothers, blankies and even the game Hullabaloo, which he loves to play and shout every time he gets on a pad. He was Casper's and Whitney's biggest fan during their teeball season on the same team.
Whitney is a mom at heart, already, knowing how things should be done and when. Two moms in the house is a challenge. She is doing well at her little preschool. They learned about Hansel and Gretel this week and made candy houses.
Life is good and we are grateful for the family and friends we have to share it with. I promise to make more entries! I love hearing what others are thankful for--share some of those things with me on your comments!
