Wow, it's been a while!

Looks like I have been so busy with life I completely forgot all about the family blog.

So, a little update on us. First, Michael has been working in the Portland area for 2 years now. Just this past October 2010 we made the decision to leave my comfort zone in Eagle Point and move to Salem. Have to say that it was a great decision for the whole family. Biggest plus, being with Dad.

The boys really missed their dad during our 18 months living less than part time together. Boys really need their father in their lives and moving up here to be together more often has been great for their relationship.

The Boys: Jordan
Jordan was not doing well at Little Butte in Eagle Point before we left. Either he did not want to bond with his teacher knowing we were moving or they just did not click at all. But at his new school he has Mrs. Henneke. Lets say she has got to be one of the most wonderful teachers ever. Jordan really responds well to her and is very happy, most days, to go to school. He is now playing basketball and really starting to enjoy it. I love watching him play and seeing how much he has learned from the beginning of their short season. It is good for him to learn that you win some and you loose some. He has a hard time with this one, he is only six after all.



Peyton
Peyton is a ball of energy and goofball, just like his dad. He loves to be in the garage working on whatever project dad has going on and is even there when he is needed for clean up. And just like his dad he loves to give everyone a hard time. Even has gone as far as calling his teacher, "Old Teacher". Peyton also loves school. He has a great preschool teacher, Mrs. McCain. She has helped Peyton become a much more independent child. He is also trying to learn how to write his name. He has the 'to' in Peyton down. His speech has also come bounds this year. It is wonderful to find who my son is. His thoughts and his opinions, granted I might not like some of them.




Jordan and Peyton are the best of friends. It is wonderful to hear how great it is to see them get along so well from other people. They, just like other siblings, have their moments. But all in all they play well together, laugh together, and even snuggle together. I look forward to their friendship and bond grow as they get older. I am lucky to have them in every way.



So, that's a bit of an update on us and hopefully I will keep up with it.
