John sent the plans to the engineer yesterday. We decided, based on the footings around our garage, that we needed to build John's office above the garage (there is space available) instead of under the back porch. There will still BE back porch, however. That's exciting because we'll be able to dine and have BBQ's there in the fall. It opens directly off of the kitchen (and another off of my bedroom).
I've become the Cub Scout Advancement Committee Chair and I help at cub den meetings. I am still the Primary chorister, but I may only do that for a little while longer. Currently I have 3 callings, and that's more than typical in our ward.
Jackson loves his teacher, Mrs. Baudin, and his Parent/Teacher conference is tomorrow. Xandri's will also be this week, and we'll see what their teachers have to tell us. Xandri is loving kindergarten. She and her friend Holly go to school at the same time and they talk about what happens at preschool and how alike their kindergarten classes are. It's delightful to listen to their conversations about the rugs, the games, their homework. They are students, real scholars, involved in the process of learning.
Asa loves playing with Jack. Because Jack loves Lego, so does Asa. Because Jack plays on the stairs, so does Asa. Asa always wants to play with things Jack loves or things Jack has made because he wants to be like Jack.
Ace also had his pictures taken today. He didn't want to smile for the camera. He was really intimidated by the high school students at the photographer. Oh, well. He can be very shy. I picked the photo that shows his amazing eyes the best. He's got "old" eyes---they are so large, so brown, and they are deep... like they are an old man's eyes. He's got a sweet, sweet spirit, even though he's entered the naughty stage. He's figured out that if he pitches a fit, he will get his way. He's figured out that he can tease and lie and blame it on someone else... SIGH.
Max, now that child has been a tease for months. He loves to do exactly what he is told NOT to do. He knows what no means, and he does it simply because he's been told no. He also climbs things, and he wants to see out of windows. He's fascinated by what's out the window. Of course, once he gets up to a window, he can't get back down, and this makes him scream!
Well, I think that's everying, and I don't think I have any new pictures. I guess I'm not good at that!
