OUT OF ORDER

I am aware that my blogs and pictures are out of chronological order. Please bear with me as I update the site. We do so many fun things that we want to share with you! Eventually it will make more sense! Thanks for taking a peek!

Summer 2008

Jakob and Savannah had a very relaxing summer! We kicked off our summer with a visit from Aunt Kara and Uncle Paul and Uncle William. Aunt Kara and Uncle Paul surprised us with the news that they were expecting a baby in January 2009! Then they took Savannah back to Missouri with them. Savannah and Aunt Kara spent the week swimming and playing. They were having some work done on their home and Savannah fed and entertained the workers! The finished up the week with a camping/floating trip in Van Buren, Missouri.

Next came a fun week at Fairhaven Baptist Church's annual Vacation Bible School. Jakob and Savannah heard Bible stories, learned songs and had a ton of fun!

In July, Uncle William hosted Jakob for a week in Atlanta, Georgia. They started out the week in Savannah, Georgia with a deep sea fishing trip. Jakob had a great time, but I understand that he was very tired! They also went to the aquarium, the World of Coca-cola Museum, a children's museum, and the Atlanta zoo. Jakob also enjoyed attended a dinner show at Medieval Times. They finished up the week enjoying a Braves game at Turner Field!

The slideshow below contains pictures of a cookout on the 4th of July with Dwain's family and of Jakob and Savannah swimming in the pool in our yard.

Summer Fun 2008!

Back to School - 2008

Jakob and Savannah are (finally!) back in school! Jakob is in the 2nd grade this year. His teacher is Mrs. McNeill. So far, he is doing quite well. His current activities include football, football, and football! He has 3 - 4 practices a week and games every Saturday beginning September 6th and continuing until November 8th.

Savannah is in the 1st grade this year. Her teacher is Mrs. Dollar. She seems to be adjusting well. She was a little nervous because she thought 1st grade was "harder" than kindergarten. She doesn't understand why her spelling words are the same as the ones she had last year because she already knows them! She is a cheerleader for Jakob's football team and begins practice on Monday.

God has truly blessed us this year with wonderful teachers for both of our children. They are both experienced teachers who seem to love children. We are excited to see how much our children learn this year. Hopefully Savannah will get some spelling words she doesn't know soon!

My First Blog!

After reading countless others' blogs, I decided I had to try it! If no one else enjoys it, at least my brother and sister who live so far away will get to see what Jakob and Savannah are up to on a somewhat regular basis! They are both growing up so fast that it is really hard to keep up! Enjoy!
