KC Zoo
Lots of fun at the zoo on a warm November afternoon! Nikita the polar bear was very active diving after fish and entertaining the crowd.
Mizzou football game
MU vs. KSU game 11/13/10- it was so cold! Thanks to Mike and Christie for the blanket donation!
Tristan pics
If not swaddled, Tristan sometimes sticks his hands straight out while sleeping, like a little mini-Frankenstein.
Grandpa Don and Joyce visit
Grandpa Don and Joyce were able to come back and visit for a few days around the time of Tristan's baptism. We had a fun time and I think they really enjoyed seeing the boys!
Tristan's Baptism
November 6th, 2010- Everyone was being entertained by Jordon during the ceremony and wondering if he or Grover would end up falling into the baptismal fountain.
End of the Year!
What a slacker I've become with no posts! We'll see how many updates we can get in by the end of the night. A few recent highlights...
Jordon's been saying lately with brushing his teeth "I wanna do it the hard way". That's my threat to him when in the past he tried to refuse brushing and I would sit him on my lap and pretty much force him down to do it. Well, apparently now that's the way he likes to brush his teeth. Go figure.
I was so proud of him the other day when Don brought him home from daycare and repeated what the teachers said about him. There is a kid in his class who is not exactly easy to deal with- he takes toys from others, and has actually bitten Jordon before hard enough to leave marks on his hand. Apparently the kid has had it hard at home and so that's why he's got some behavioral issues. Anyway, Don likes to check in and make sure Jordon's not getting whipped up on by the kid, so he occasionally will ask how things are going with him. The teachers said the other day that Jordon is a great kid, and shows this other little boy more compassion than any of the other kids in the class. Yeah, that's what I like to hear. He gets that from his Mamo. If he hits back, that comes from Dada.
Yesterday was an awesome day with being in the 60s on December 30th!! We took the boys for a walk around the neighborhood that night. Really strange to be out for a walk looking at Christmas lights in warm weather, but we enjoyed it!
