Not Just One Firefighter, But Two

Jonathan and Kate had so much fun playing outside today. They love to race down the sidewalk, sometimes getting ahead of me to try to ring a neighbor's doorbell. Sorry Stacy and Teppi! Kate loved wearing Jonathan's old fire pants. What a cute pair they are!!

School for Jonathan

Jonathan and I went and observed in his classroom at St. Johns. I really liked the teacher. She had great energy, was down on the floor playing with the kids, and handled problems like we do at home. The kids were SO cute. Six boys and four girls. They all were very friendly towards Jonathan. He loved the huge fire truck jungle gym on the playground, and equally loved the tiny potties in the bathroom! He is excited to have two schools- one at church (he calls it "my school") and now St. Johns. I am thankful for God's guidance. Waiting to start until January was the right decision. He is ready and excited! Surely there will be some bumps along the way, but I believe it will be a great fit. 

Learning to Smile for the Camera!

Britney Spears What?

Just kidding! The kids love helping Justin move his car. Sometimes the littlest things are a highlight of the day!

Halloween

Jonathan was a fireman and Kate was a dalmation. They trick-or-treated down our street with their best buddies next door. Kate really understood choosing a candy and putting it in the bag. However, sometimes she would try to exchange a piece from her basket for the piece someone was offering her! They didn't care much about the candy after trick-or-treating was over. The candy fairy came the next day and took the candy and replaced it with a toy! I loved seeing Kate run in that dalmation costume- the tail would wag! And Jonathan is so confident as a firefighter. He loves pretending!
