Halloween fun!

I have to begin by say how much Finn's speech has improved. It is saying all sorts of fun things. It was Nanna's birthday this week, we I told Finn we were going to take her to dinner for her birthday he said "Happy". He is starting to be more fluent in putting words together. Last night we went to my schools Halloween Carnival, he said "Halloween party". It is so fun to hear the things he can say these days.
So here is our last post for October, can you believe it is over? Finn is a spider, he was so excited about the hat, he kept tapping the top of his head and saying "hhhat". Van is the coolest power ranger out there. The first picture is Van posing in his power ranger way.

Autum Outdoor swimming

Yesturday was a nice day. A little cold but the pool was very warm. We went up to Nanna's and Grandpa's and took a dip in the drink (Melissa, is that something?) Anyway, the kids had so much fun swimming with grandpa and Aaron.

Amazing Grace

Tonight in class we started learning Amazing grace. Even though I am the slowest one in class, and can not transfer from one note to the other very well, I am loving what is being taught. I have attached a clip from you tube, if you want to hear what I may sound like years, and years from now check it out.

As Promised

Here are a few other pictures from my trip. These are taken at Mary Poppins, and Wicked.

So much fun!

New York City

Man, what a fun trip. I just got back from New York with my girl friends. It was so perfect of a trip. We ate at some fun resturaunts, saw fun shows, toured the city on the double decker bus. Someone asked me this morning what was my favorite part about the trip, I think the whole thing was my favorite! Here are a few pictures of the city and two of the three friends I went with. More pictures to come.

Thanks to the girls for such a good time and fun memories!

Soccer is done

Van is done with the first session of soccer this season. The boys had so much fun playing, the first few games were the most successful, as far as attention goes. After that there were other important things on their minds, shadows, shirts over heads, no arms, ect. It was fun to watch, and we are excited to see how it goes in the spring!

Speech Therapy

Finn is doing very well in speech. His therapist told us yesturday we could start coming once a month instead of twice a month. He was having SOOO much fun blowing bubbles yesturday, I just had to take a picture. He is so stinkin cute!

AMAZING

As I was logging on to my computer this morning at work, making all the necessary clicks it takes to get onto the programs I need throughout the day, it occured to me how crazy it is that just by a tap of the finger on a small contraption (mouse) you open up a whole new world of information. Seriously, what would we do these days with out the internet?

Chopper 5

We just had chopper 5 come to our school. It was cool to see the helicoper up close and the kids went wild, although it was a bit long for the kids (the entire school) to be in an unstructured enviornment. One of the camera men for the news came with the pilot, he took some pictures and told us we would be on the news sometime today - whenever that is?

Anyway you just never know what is going to happen at an elementary school. That's why my job is so cool!
