Sorry for the Wait!!!

I apologize for not updating our blog since the first day of school. Now that school is back in session we are BUSY, BUSY, BUSY!! I will try to update you on everyone and do a better job in the future of posting.

Kaitlin is doing wonderful in 3rd Grade. It is neat being in the same grade as her. However her teacher told me today that she is coming into the class letting everyone know what my class is doing each day. For example, my class won a pizza and ice cream party for winning a school contest and she announced that to her class. She also added," My dad says that my mom should give our classroom the ice cream to be nice."(Thank you, John. HA HA) That was difficult because of course I wanted her to win too, but I had to explain that wouldnt be fair to my class if I took away their ice cream. 3rd Grade is such a big year for Kaitlin. It is amazing to see all of the things she is learning. She is beginning to write in cursive and learn her multplication facts. We are so proud of her. On the weekends she keeps us busy with all of the activities and birthday parties. Tomorrow she is bringing the "AMAZING MAX" into visit her classroom. She plans on showing off the tricks he knows plus playing frisbee with him. We also found a really cute pumpkin Halloween costume for Max. Kaitlin now wants to be a pumpkin for Halloween too. She says that she will be the big pumpkin and Max will be the baby pumpkin. I think it should be the other way around since Max weighs almost 85 pounds!!

John is doing great too. The wonderful stock market has been keeping him rather busy. He is also taking 3 classes at Drury this semester. Plus we are now teaching more at church. We are currently helping with the Youth on Wednesday, he teaches Sunday School for the Middle School, and he helps me teach the preschool department during church service once a month. I love it when he helps with the preschool. They absolutely wear him out. He tells me I dont know how you do it, 16 kids between 2 and 5 completely wear me out. This is also John's favorite time of the year because it is..... OU SOONERS FOOTBALL SEASON!!! So of course every Saturday we get decked out in all of our OU SOONER clothes and hats to cheer on our SOONERS!! It seems to be working because they are currently at NO# 1. We are hoping to get to go see them play in the BIG 12 Championship that will be in Kansas City this year.
I hope that everyone is doing great. I will work on getting updated pictures loaded later this week.
