Been a long time..
I've been a facebook junkie and updating my status there instead of updating this site.
So for my daily happenings you can checkup on me there.

We have a new addition to our family since the end of April. We brought home or Jazzi girl from Florida. Having a dog back in the house has been a change for us all. We've discovered Puppy daycare, which she goes 2 days a week. I can tell that it gets the puppy spaz out of her, since when she doesn't go she has puppy spaz @ home and thinks the boys are puppies and wants to play with them like they are also dogs. The boys don't appreciate that too much since her nails and teeth are sharp.

I've discovered that she's a great jumper and can launch her self from sitting position about 2 feet. She's pulled a lot of Jon's artwork off the wall and torn it up.

The boys are growing and developing.
Jacob is working on being a Potty Trainer and Jon is working on his listening skills and follow through.

We've been memorizing a poem this week for Jon's Kindergarten assignment.
So far Jon, Jacob, me and Mom have all memorized it.

I spent a couple hours online trying to find a poem that was appropriate and short enought to memorize.

Caterpillar by Christina Rossetti
Brown and Furry
Caterpillar in a Hurry
Take your walk
To the shady leaf or stalk
Or What Not
Which may be the chosen spot
No toad spy you
Hovering bird of prey pass by you
Spin & Die
To Live again a butterfly

The only thing is when Jon starts to recite it I can tell he's thinking about the caterpillar in his head and then he can't recite the poem. There are long pauses when he's watching the caterpillar in his head...

Jacob can finish each line.

The good thing is, I thought I was incapable of memorizing anything else, since my brain's been full for awhile. But I memorized this poem so I can teach Jonny.
