Settling In

First snow in October!

It has been awhile, almost forgot this was here and debated whether or not I should continue or care about it. We have been in Colorado nearly 3 months now, closing on our house next week! We can hardly wait to vacate this small apartment we have called home temporarily and get our dog back and finally be settled.

Once we got here, Caleb jumped  right into Jr. K Preschool. He loves it and his teachers love him! We had gotten negative feedback last year about his behavior which I was concerned about for this year, but to our surprise, none of that supposed behavior has surfaced. Hmmm. He also celebrated his 5th birthday late September. We can hardly believe our first born is growing so fast! He is into Star Wars, Lego's, swords, riding his bike and scooter, just about anything outdoors! His favorite food is shrimp right now and he loves to go to Menchie's Frozen Yogurt.

Kieran is nearly halfway to 3. This too has gone by so fast! He has been determined to use the potty like his brother, but I wanted to hold off on actual training til we got into our house, so hopefully he is raring to go soon! He is still a little peanut, but lately he has been a fan of Chinese Food. Asking for broccoli and mini corns! This is food he will actually eat, no problem where he picks and chooses at everything else! He loves his treats and has a hard time understanding when its okay to have one! This has been a tough year or should I say, a "Terrible Two" year. Lots of screaming, fighting and tantrums. Lord, help me if this doesn't change for the better in year 3. He can be so cute, yet so devilish at the same time. His vocabulary is great and he has resorted to calling me "Mom" all of a sudden like he is now 14. He loves playing just about anything Caleb does, hence where the fighting starts. He loves Woody and Buzz Lightyear, the Aquabats and Veggie Tales.

Kerry has been at Foundations for 3 months now. The church is awesome and we are surrounded by a great church community. We are excited to see where God leads as I have already been amazed at the abundance of blessings thus far. We have joined a small group and continue to meet some great families we hope to grow alongside. Another bonus is Kerry's family is all here in Colorado! Well, almost. His brother resides about an hour South and his parents are moving out early December so we can all be together once again. The boys have missed their grandparents over the past 3.5 years, so it will be nice to finally call this place home for all of us. No more moving!
