A week already!

Has it been a week already since I posted? Okay, it's been over a week now. This blogging thing is harder than I thought. It's not that I don't have new things to share about the kids on a daily basis, it's just sitting down and writing them out that is something that I find difficult. I guess this is why I've never been much of a journal keeper. My mom is always encouraging me to journal what's going on with the kids, specifically Audrey's progress, and I just haven't done it. Now looking back over the past 3 months I wish I had started in July, so I could see what all progress we've made since then. So, yes mom, you were/are right...I need to start journaling.

This week has been uneventful for us, just the way I like it. We visited a new church on Sunday and liked it. It was our 5th church to visit here in NC. I don't know what we are looking for, we just keep thinking we'll know when we find it. Andrew enjoyed getting to go on the playground at church and he loved that Audrey's class was on the playground at the same time. He told me that he followed her around to make sure that know one was mean to her because "I'm a big brother and I have to protect her". He also said that when the teacher called for the 2 year old class to line up, he took Audrey (aka. dragged her across the playgroup, I'm sure) to the teacher and told her that she was 2. I would have loved to have been a fly on the wall and witnessed that. It's funny how protective he is of her one minute and then the next minute will run through the house, right into her and take her out.

We went to the fall festival at Andrew's school Sunday night. The kids had a pretty good time. Audrey loved the bounce house for the little ones and Andrew was able to play on a huge hay stack. I think they both liked the hot dogs and cookies the most.

She was having fun, regardless of her "expression".

Audrey has had a good week. Her vocab. continues to surprise me. She is now on to learning her shapes and a couple of letters. She likes to say "Give me five!" and always wants her turn to pray before a meal which sounds a little like "Thank you day, thank you (some random things we're not sure of)...Amen." She joins Andrew in his bed every night for story time now and will pick her own book to have read to her and then listen to whatever story he chose. Most of the time she sits through the entire story time (which is a huge improvement in the last month or 2), even the Thomas ones, which usually do not make any sense and are hard to read.

We will be in FL next week. I'm looking forward to the visit. Our 4 nieces will be there for a little bit and it will be nice for the kids to get to visit with them again.


That's all for now.
