Four Years Ago

Four years ago today, we traveled home with our second son from Guatemala. Hard to believe it has been that long already. Isaac came home at 6 months old. We traveled with Josiah and both grandmothers. Goofy little baby, happy all the time, and boy did he have crazy hair. We usually celebrate with a dinner in his honor on his gotcha day. This year we will have his dinner on Sunday. Isaac will have both sets of granparents and two great-grandmothers here to share in his special day. He has brought so much joy to our lives. He has one infectious smile and people usually tell us he looks like trouble:) We love you Isaac!!

Isaac's bike parade

Friday Isaac was star helper in his pre-school class. They had a bike parade. I got to help decorate all the kids bikes and they paraded them down the school hallways and outside on the playground. He enjoyed it so much. He loves school, his friends, and his teachers.

Great Deals!

Take a look at all the groceries I bought today at Meijer, for only $7.61. Yes, that is right $7.61. I love a good deal and had to share in my excitement. I recently found out about using coupons (I know, where have I been?). I print them off and match them up to the sales. Dan doesn't share in my coupon excitement so I thought I share it with you all. The best deal from this trip was the hot dogs. Each 10 count pack was only .25 cents. The Ritz crackers were .50 cents. The cereal .80 cents. Capri sun $1.14. Graham crackers and other crackers $1.50 each. I know not very healthy choices in this bunch, but what a deal.

Soccer

Isaac has started playing soccer this year. We are on week #3. Week 1 he was to tired to participate, so he laid in the grass. Afterward, he missed out on the snack, which made him really upset. So week 2 he played and we couldn't keep him off the field. Even when it was his teammates turn, he would run out there. Week 3 he struggled to stay on task out on the field. Picking grass and summersualts was more interesting to him. He did play good, but didn't understand to stay inside the lines and kept running for the woods with the ball. Hopefully, we can work on his skills at home. He does it all smiling from ear-to-ear!

Josiah and The Bus

Since Josiah turned 6 in April, I thought it might be time to let him try riding the bus. He has wanted to ride it from the first day of school. So, I thought I would let go a little and let him try it. He did great and enjoys riding with all of his friends.
