August 2010 Update

Thursday, September 9, 2010

It has been a while since I posted anything - we have been busy with the round of doctors, therapists, a dental procedure, starting school and playing!

X and Jack started to school on August 23rd.  This was actually X's first day of pre-kindergarten.  He was excited to meet new friends and adores his teacher.  I think it was much harder on A, who spent the first few days crying when we dropped him off and would spend the afternoon walking around saying school, school, school.  Jack started school as well.  He has 5 prep classes (which is a bit higher than normal) and has spent the last few weeks getting his room in order, ordering supplies and getting to know his students.

We made it through the first round of doctors appointments.  I absolutely adore the folks at Children's Medical Center both downtown and in Plano.  X had a dental procedure at Children's Medical Center in Plano and they were able to put crowns on 12 teeth that had cavities. 

We were in Nacogdoches last weekend visiting both of our folks.  The boys really enjoy Nanny and Grandma Nelson and Papa.  What a surprise that my sister Christi drove up on Saturday to meet the boys.  KiKi was a huge hit as well as a wealth of information.  It doesn't seem that long ago that Chance and Courtney were little.  The boys also got to meet fun Auntie Norm, which is always a special treat.

We were lucky that both Alex and Erich were able to meet us at the farm.  Jack and Erich even brought some toys down from the barn and cleaned them off with bleach so X and A could play with them.  We headed back to Dallas on Sunday night.  The boys woke up just in time for us to stop in Kaufman for pizza (always a huge hit).

Monday was spent running around - farmer's market, grocery store (twice) and enjoying a day with just the four of us. 

Our anniversary is this weekend, can't believe it has been 11 years.  We haven't made plans yet, but plan on celebrating in style. 

I will be much more proactive on our blog.  As always, we thanks our family and friends for their love and support.
