Tying Shoes


Yeah!!!  Jackson learned to tie shoes and I am so proud of him.  We have been trying for a few years but he just hasn't gotten the hang of it.  I have a little book that has laces on it and we've been practicing at least once a night after we read our books.  Yesterday he did it all by himself!!!

Character Counts


We are so proud of Morgan and Jackson.  They both received medals today during the Character Counts program at school.  They gave away medals for either responsibility or trustworthiness.  Morgan and Jackson both got one for responsibility.  Jackson knew he was getting it and every day this week he asked me how much longer until Friday.  Morgan had no idea and was sort of disappointed that she wasn't going to get one.  She kept telling me that she was responsible and trustworthy.  She received one in Kindergarten and in First Grade.  Her teacher told me yesterday that she was getting one and that she had saved it until now because she wanted Morgan to specifically get the Responsibility one.  Her face was beaming when they called her name.  Mom and Dad are so proud!

Weight Watchers

Whoo-Hoo! I have lost about 15 lbs. and I'm so excited. I feel good and it really hasn't been that hard to do. I just hope I can keep it off and stay healthy.

Roller Skating

Morgan learned to roller skate at a birthday party on Sunday.  I loved roller skating when I was growing up and I actually skated for almost an hour at the party.  I'm sure I'll be feeling the pain soon.
