Little Updates and a Busted Lip

Okay, where do I start. Rachel is loving Pre-K. She can say the Pledge of Allegiance, knows where several states are on the US map, has been on three field trips already and is writing her letters so much better now! For the past two weeks they've been talking about cowboys and last Friday they could dress up like one. So, here she is as a cowgirl.


And if Rachel is up on the fire place, Jackson wants to be too - so he just climbs right up.


I had a nice birthday earlier this week. We went to dinner Sunday night to avoid the chaos of rushing around after work on Monday.


Jackson is continuing to walk around all the time...he is still not very smooth though - walks very stiff and with his arms in the air... And still falls and still crawls some.


I have no idea what happened in this picture but I thought it was pretty crazy and wanted to share.


And to wrap it up, Jackson got in a fight with the floor yesterday at school and lost... He was kneeling on a chair and another kid ran into him and knocked him over...so he landed face first on the floor. He had a bloody lip, nose and big knot on his forehead... It broke my heart when I saw him for the first time... He bounced back pretty quickly though... The first picture here is about 3-4 hours after it happened, after his bath.


And this was this morning. Doing much better!


And of course that can't be enough for one week... I get a call at 9:00 this morning from his school saying he has a bad upset stomach and has to go home... So he and I have been hanging at home today. So far he's doing alright - I'm praying it stays this way and doesn't get worse - as I know it can!!

We hope to go to the fair this weekend so I should have more pictures soon...
