Pictures

We got our family pictures done the other day and they turned out pretty good. The more people you get together though the harder it is to get everyone to look and not blink. The first two pictures are just pictures that my friend also took that I think turned out particularly well. The second picture is next to where we did the actually photo shoot. Hopefully, I will get some chrismas cards together soon and send them out with the pictures.

Ryan had a parent teacher conference the other day and it was mostly good. She said that he is at a kindergarten level for most things and even at a 1st grade level for some. She did say that he needs to work on his behavior when it comes to getting along with the other kids. Hopefully, he will get better as the year goes on. She also said that because he is ahead in so many areas that she is going to set him up with a few long term projects to work on.

Colin says bye-bye now. We had him evaluated by the early intervention people and they said that he is not delayed but rather slightly behind the curve. So, they just want to make sure that he adds a few words from time to time.

Matt and I have been busy with school. Matt got an A on his first test in history and so he is happy about that. I have been busy with the daycare this week as well. Next week will be a short week for all of us due to Thanksgiving. We hare having Thanksgiving dinner here and we invited a couple of people to come over.

Well, I have kids coming so I better go. Love you all.

Halloween

Well, I am not going to make this very long but I wanted to update after Halloween so that everyone could look at the boys' costumes. Ryan did a lot of trick-or-treating and Colin went to a few houses as well. They both looked great and got enough candy to last the year as usual.

Also a bit of new news on Ryan...he can spell three words now four if you count his name. He can spell and therefore read the words "yes", "no", and "mom". He is always coming home with the new things that he has learned that day.

Anyway, I better go, I have homework to do!
