I don't know why I haven't been keeping up with blogging. No excuses...just have been enjoying other things, I guess...like summer! We enjoyed a wonderful trip to Disney World last month. The boys had a great time, of course! Isaac enjoyed his first pair of Mickey ears. His favorite ride was "It's a Small World." The entire time he pointed repeatedly and said "WOW!" over and over. It was SO cute! I think we rode it about five times! Jonah enjoyed being able to ride some of the bigger "thrill" rides such as Splash Mountain and Big Thunder Mountain Railroad. I wasn't sure how he would do, but his reaction to both was "AWESOME!", so I think he was a pretty big fan!
The most recent news around here is that Jonah began his first day of first grade today. We are absolutely in love with his teacher. As soon as we found out her name, we visited her page on the school's website. Besides being a Clemson grad (which Chad was thrilled about), she mentioned that one of her favorite things to do when she's not teaching is going to church. So, when we met her yesterday at the annual "Meet the teacher", I mentioned to her how much we appreciated her including that on her page. She immediately responded by saying that Jesus is number one in her life and she has no qualms about sharing that with anyone. We had a moment of praise right there in the classroom! I am so thankful and so thrilled for Mrs. Bruce. I think this is going to be an awesome year for Jonah!
One of the sweet things about Jonah being back at school is that I am getting to spend some one-on-one time with Isaac. He is now 20 months, walking, running, climbing and trying his hardest to talk. We can understand a few words, but he mostly speaks in his own language, still. Isaac will start a mother's morning out program two mornings a week in September. I think it will be a great time for him to play and socialize with other children his age and it will give me a few hours to myself for running errands or whatever I need to do. I am thrilled that we were able to get him into the same day school program that Jonah was in for four years. It will be exciting to watch Isaac experience some of the same things that Jonah enjoyed so much.
Knowing this post would not be complete without some pictures, I'll leave you with a few to enjoy!
