5. Noah wants/thinks he is going to go to Kindergarten with Jacob. He will be going to his own preschool with three of him friends this year (I will be one of the teachers as well as three more ladies), Megan gave me this idea :).

Jacob's Happenings

Right now our carmera is out-of-order, so I am not able to post pictures with my postings. However, Jacob has had some exciting moments these days here are some of them.
1. Last Wednesday, Jacob met with his Kindergarten teacher and had a tour of his classroom and school (we walked around the school twice, he wanted to do it a third time, but we needed to go home).
2. Sameday-Wednesday, Jacob pulled out his second tooth. He lost his front left tooth. Last year, you may remember he lost his upper, front, right tooth. He was excited that the toothfairy came leaving him a quarter. (The night before the fairy came, he was trying to talk both Tim and I into believing that he got a dollar last time from the tooth fairy and not a quarter). :)
3. Favorite colors is now red and green.
4. Jacob is already in the "Hundredth Club" in his Kindergarten class, he can count from 0-110.
5. Jacob's first day of school Monday, August 24, 2009
We love you Son! Thanks for being in our family! Mom and Dad

Where's The Daddy?

We went to the zoo last Saturday morning. We saw for the first time baby Peacocks, they were four of them with their mommy. Noah was concerned because he couldn't find their daddy. We walked all over the zoo, to find daddy, we found him on top of a building looking down at us. Noah was ok with that. See kids know even at age two the importance of both mommy and daddy in the home :).

Love Sent In The Mail

Grandma and Grandpa Wheelwright sent a package to us last Friday, it was the highlight of our week. Grandma sent some tapes and books that both Tim and I had when we were children. The "Stand Tall" books and tapes Everyday we have listened to the tapes since, the boys love them and it give them something different to do. Noah has loved the little car and tractor, he has slept with them for his naps. Taffy have been fun to eat too. Thanks Grandma and Grandpa!
