Lost...and an update on us

I was helping teach a class and happened to be at recess the same time that the boys class was at recess. The boys spend most of their recess playing with each other. They have other kids that play with them as well but they are generally always in the same vicinity. Thursday I looked up and saw Jachin sitting on the gym floor all alone. Suddenly he spotted me in the chaotic crowd of kids and came up to me and said " Mom, I've lost Jesse, I cant find him." One of those moments that you cherish. The kids are doing well. Elizabeth is gearing up for her birthday, I think we are going to shoot for the beginning of December for her party. The boys are silly,and getting sillier everyday. We watched a 5 month old baby one day this week and Jesse helped me feed the baby his bottle. When the baby reached for the bottle while i was burping him, Jesse looked at him and said, "No, stop it, I will give you your bottle." The kids had a lot of fun helping with him, it was rather cute. Joe and I had our first parent teacher conference for Elizabeth about 1 1/2 weeks ago and received her report card. I will post it on here after Joe helps me scan it into our computer.

Faithful Fishies

Elizabeth was given a "faithful Fish" at school in August for walking in the hallway right (hands behind the back, etc). The fish is just a paper fish that is laminated and the teachers write the childs name on the fish with expo and it goes on a board in the hallway. At some point in the month all the fish are collected and one girl name and boy name are drawn at chapel. Elizabeth's name was drawn and this is what she picked as her prize.
