Jeff's school year

Jeff is doing an awesome job in school this year. His overall average for the year so far is a 93 with the highest grade of a 98 in math and the lowest of 88 in science. He was selected to be on the math committee in his class. Four out of 22 students were selected to create math activities and math problems for the class to solve. They will present these to the class on PowerPoint in a few weeks.

A few weeks back he learned about inherited traits and had to complete a project explaining dominant and recessive traits and give examples of those on PowerPoint as well. Thankfully Shane knows how to use that program and was able to give him a few tips on how to create a presentation. It amazes me that kids are so computer savvy these days....we did not start using a computer until 7th grade! Jeff has been using a computer since preschool. Wow I feel old! :)

The 3rd grade field trip this year is to the UT Astronomy building. Jeff is looking forward to that. Not sure if it's looking forward to getting to leave school or to learn about astronomy but either way he will have fun.

6 months old!

It has been 6 months since our littlest angel has entered into this world. We are so blessed to have 2 wonderful boys in our lives.

Grant is able to roll completely over, scoot a little and just last week started to sit up on his own. The foods he has eaten are rice cereal, sweet potatoes, and carrots. He loves to drink water and I have to bribe the sippy cup from him so he won't fill up on that instead of food! He still wakes up for feedings at night...I hope that will end once he is weaned. He absolutely loves to take a bath. Just the mention of getting a bath makes him squeal and gets his legs to kicking. Getting to sit up during his bath has made it even more of a treat for him as he splashes and plays in the water. When the weather permits we go play at the park....the same park we took Jeff to when he was Grant's age. It's funny how certain memories of Jeff come back to me as Grant grows and experiences new things. Just today Grant started to mimic faces we make at him. He brings such joy to our lives and I can't thank God enough for both of our guys.

Halloween and trip to the Capitol

We had a great Halloween this year. We took the kids trick or treating at the mall and then Shane took Jeff around the neighborhood. Our adventure at the mall was all Grant was interested in that night. Grant dressed up as Woody from the movie Toy Story and Jeff was a ninja.

Earlier in the day we went to the Texas Book Festival that was held at the Texas State Capitol. After purchasing a book for Jeff we headed over to take a look inside the Capitol building. This was Grant's first visit there. Jeff has been several times on school trips and with us.
