Fall is finally here! We can wear our jackets.

J is introduced to so much this past month!

Eli and Cortney introduced J to tennis.  J always have fun when he is with his sister and brother. Check out those boots.  He want a hat to go with it...we may wait till the Rodeo next year and go all out and get the big belt buckle too.



Pumpkins!  I decided to carve pumpkins this year because I thought it would be fun for J.  Well, he didn't like the slimy insides of the pumpkin so I ended up doing most  of it.



We removed the pedestal sink in J's bathroom and installed a new sink with cabinets to make it more functional.  We decided to use the box the cabinet came in for a playhouse.




J looks so big in this picture.  iPad had to be his favorite items to occupy his time.  I have to limit how long he can have it....he gets a glazed zombie look after about an hour.


We'll stop by the park after school sometime and let him run around on the basketball court.  He loves being outside especially if the weather is nice.


Mark purchased a wet vac to clean our tiled floor in the kitchen and the bathroom.  I am more of a minimalist so I did not want to make the purchase.  But I have to say, it really cleaned our floors.


Round Rock Y put on a Fall Festival every year.  We were so pleased with how kid friendly it was.  We will be making this Festival an annual event for us.  We stayed later than we planned because J was having so much fun.










Cortney's new hair cut.  My beautiful baby girl!


Baby Dedication!  So proud to be J's parents.  Our prayers will always be that we will be a great example for J by putting Christ at the center of our lives.  J will become a godly man one-day.



Halloween.  He has learned from school "trick or treat" and super excited about the day.  He even agreed to take a nap so he can stay up later.  Cortney painted his face, better than wearing a hot mask all night.

We ended the night little after 8 and he did an inventory on his candy and shared with Cortney and Eli.  He wanted to know if he can go 'trick or treat" every night.





J likes pretty girls.


I found an event called Touch a Truck.  Just look how happy J is in these pictures.  There were tractors, ambulance, fire engines, bus, UPS, limos, police car...and yes, you can touch, pull, push anything!













This past week, J has been talking about China a lot.  I think he misses China.  He was looking for the outfit he wore on Gotcha day.  He even remembered the orange sock he wore.  He insisted on wearing it to school.  Unfortunately, the shoes wouldn't fit over his brace so he couldn't wear them to school.

I can't believe how much he has changed in 5 months!










This pose is always given anytime I try to take a picture.  He thinks it is so funny!


My attempt to decorate a cake.


Thank you Cortney for these beautiful flowers for my birthday!


Today was Field Day and I got to participate.  It was a chilly morning but that did not stop the fun.


This is Ms. Lindsay, helping J.

Flag Football, maybe Tag will be a better name.










 Indoor Soccer.

I am so glad to have this picture.  Today will be the last day for J in the ELE class with Ms. Lindsay, Mrs. Teri, and Mrs. Jenny.  Starting Monday, he will start Kindergarden in Mrs. Monks class.  20 years ago when my girls were in kindergarden, there were 12-15 kind in class.  Class size now is 22-25 with no aid to help the teacher.  J will have his aid to help him with his physical disability so I know he will be safe.  School is in agreement that he is bright and keeping him in ELE would not be the best place for him.  It will be interesting for all of us to see how he will do in kinder because I am not sure if he is ready for Kinder.

J is such a happy kid and loves being around people, I don't want that to ever change.
