Cal's First Day of School

Cal had a great first day of school. He went right in the classroom with no problem and didn't cry at all! I think the toy bus won him over :) When Jard picked him up, the teacher said he is so sweet. She said he only cried when they laid down for "naptime" for 30 minutes. He didn't want to stay on his mat. The teachers sent home a sheet of everything they worked on and did that day. We love the school so far and he loves it too!

Family Update

This summer has ended and it's back to school for all of us! I started back to work two weeks ago. I'm working with middle school students, which is new to me. I have to see clients from "across the life span." So here I am doing secondary school therapy. I'm sure if I like or dislike it yet, we will see :) I start graduate school September 7th. I am excited, yet not ready to be so busy again.

Jared starts his semester at University of Dallas on September 1st. He is taking 2 classes: Intermediate Greek and Ancient World History. He is not teaching or coaching like he was last year. We made a family decision for him not to coach. The school said he had to coach, so he declined the position. He has applied to several retail stores.... Half Price Books, Borders, and Barnes & Noble. It is hard being in this position again, but we know God has a plan and will provide for our needs... He always does!!

Calvin is as cute as ever! He starts a mom's-day-out program on Tuesday at a church near by. His class has 2 teachers and 8 kids. We went to meet the teacher night and he loved it. His teachers are great! Cal loved it so much he cried when we left. Lets pray he doesn't cry when we drop him off on Tuesday!

All in all, we are doing well! We are in another transition stage in our life, which is hard, BUT God is good!!

Cal's Bday Party

For Cal's second birthday we had a small family party at our place. The kids played in the water while the adults dripped of sweat.









Time for cake!

Birthday Boy!!!

Cal had a great 2nd birthday!











This morning Jared took him to Grapevine Mills Mall to ride the train around the mall. He LOVED the train and some other rides they had too.
When I got home from work, we had a cupcake celebration. Cal has gotten good at blowing out candles and answering the question, "How old are you?" He responds with, "two." I think... wow he is smart! But every time we mention "birthday" he says, "two." After cupcakes we played outside and did yard work. It may sound boring, but Cal loves playing outside.

???

Mom's thoughts.... Cal is making a fashion statement.
Dad's thoughts.... looks like Cal is going to be on the little bus.

Choo! Choo!

Cal and I heard the ice cream truck tonight, so we went outside to see him. He turned the corner but figured he would come back our way. Cal waited and waited with his money but no truck :(




He was so excited about ice cream we had to go to his favorite place... Choo Choo Creamery!! It's the neatest place. Your ice cream goes on a train and you get to push a button for the ice cream to go to the register. He cries every time we leave. Poor kid!

First Backpack

Cal will be starting a Mom's Day Out program at the end of the month. It will be Tuesday and Thursday from 9 to 2. We are hoping this will improve his lack of talking or playing with other kids. He will chat and play with his cousins at least. Dad was pushing for Batman backpack, but Cal loved the Cars. He's never seen the movie but he loves cars!

Happy Birthday Grammie!

Cal wants to wish his Grammie down in Austin Happy Birthday!!! He helped make some chocolate chip-heath bar cookies... which Grammie would love but she isn't here to enjoy them. :( Don't worry though, they won't go to waste. Also, Cal recorded a music video for her....
