Jack has somewhat recovered from his cold, although his nose continues to run. He is working on eating solids but does not seem to have a lot of interest. He gets himself into the crawling position no problem, but then will just scoot on his belly or his bottom. If we tell him to come over to us, he will now really work hard to scoot himself over. He is pulling himself up and moving his feet around a little bit.
Lily is a letter and spelling machine. She can write all of her letters and is working at determining the first letter of every word. She will see words on signs, and identifies all of the letters, and has started to write three letter words on her own like cat, mom, and dog. This week at school they are learning about fire preparation, and she wanted to remind everyone to "stop, drop and roll" if there is a fire. Ballet and gymnastics continue to go well. She is also enjoying riding her bike and seems to be getting down the brake system.
On Friday, Mom took Lily and Jack to Grandma Gail and Grandpa Tom's house for a sleepover. Lily went to a duck pond on Friday and went to a fall festival with Grandpa Tom on Saturday where they went on two hay rides. Saturday afternoon Mom and Dad returned and had dinner with G & G, Great Yellow Grandma, and Great Uncle Michael who was in town from Louisville. On Sunday, we headed to another fall festival where there were all sorts of activities, including another hay ride and pumpkin picking. Sunday night Grandpa Maurice and Grandma Phyllis joined us for dinner.
* Lily and Jack want to send out hugs and kisses to their fabulous parents who are celebrating six years of being married!! Lily always wants to know why she was not at Mommy and Daddy's wedding but after many discussions and explaining that we were thinking of her when we got married, she now looks at our wedding picture and says "I could not be there but I was in your head Mommy, right?"
** Lily and Jack also want to send out a special shout out to Mom who finished her first half marathon on Saturday, and a special shout out to Dad who ran a great 5K and did a great job tracking Mom on the bike.
Enjoy the pics!
