Well...it has been a LONG time! School is back in session, Scott is coaching football, and visit days are in full swing. It has been a long...long...long fall. The kids are at interesting stages. Noah is in school and is enjoying it for the most part. He is learning to stick up for himself which is a growing piece for him. He is so polite and knows what not to do, so it is hard to tell someone else to stop. But...we are working with him. He is also in a HUGE whining stage. But...again, getting better every day on that end. Still in need of a nap...we skipped it one day...not a good plan! We are slowly getting better at letters. Noah is a pro with numbers but letters are a different story. Downloaded a new app on the iPad and it is already helping:) Noah is all about being a super hero/ninja. So...we do a lot of jumping and ninja moves! Ryder thinks he is just like Noah...and can also jump off of things and hit (but he doesn't know that hitting people isn't okay!!!). He was not saying much so we took him to a speech person and he is right on the border. We are working with him a lot at home (and daycare has been amazing). He is already starting to say more. Mama and Dada were words he was saying...but directed at us. He is now! Ryder is also about waving bye bye and saying bye bye as well as giving great kisses:) Love it! The boy's giggles are the best noise in the whole world!
Scott is teaching social studies (another first year teacher again...) and coaching high school football. He also started a grad class. He is not a fan of the class but we need to move up the pay scale! Football is going well...just a lot of time. I am overwhelmed by how much he is gone:( My work is busy and also overwhelming...we are ready for Thanksgiving! Here are a few fun pictures from the past few weeks:
