A lot of things have changed in our lives since I was last on here. Some good, some bad, but it's progress. One huge blessing: Gerald ended up getting the position in the advanced aluminum welding class at AIDT (Austal's training center). It's a twelve week night course, and he started on September 9th. He also works at Chris Meyers (a car dealership) during the day, and then goes to Mobile for class from 5-10:30 at night. So needless to say, it's been a huge adjustment not having him home as much. Not to mention he's one tired Daddy ha ha!! It may not seem like much to everyone, but this is huge for our little family!
Abby is loving kindergarten!! She went on her first field trip earlier this month to the skating rink in Daphne! They go once a month which I think is awesome because she loved it! She said she fell down a lot, but had fun. Haha! She's also becoming such a smart little girl! Her teacher says she's the sweetest one in the class and one of her all time favorite students. We are so proud of Abby and her kind heart! :)
Eating lunch with Abby at Fairhope Elementary School.
Her first project was a "Family Tree".. We had lots of fun working on this together!
A few art projects, I love her drawings!
The school mascot is the Pirates. So naturally on National Pirate Day, they celebrate big! Her class went on a "Pirate Ship" and even had a Treasure Hunt!! I thought these shirts they made were adorable!
Anyway enough with the hormones! Over the month his vocabulary has really flourished. I can't even remember every little thing, but some stuff he has learned are: "Coco" -Cole, "Bab-bee" - Abby, he says "bye bye" and waves a lot more often now and at the appropriate time, he says "buh" when the school bus is coming down the street, he LOVES to ride his car and play with all of his little scooter toys outside (he used to not be able to push them). Oh and let me tell you I hung the moon the other day when I let him sit in my lap to move our vehicle to the backyard for a wash! Ha ha he was head bangin' to the music like never before (which I have to add -he ALWAYS does in the car & it's hilarious)! He is a goofball!! He also copies us SO well now, and follows demands/request much better than last month! It's really crazy how fast they change. The last few days I just stare at him, and he reminds me SO much of Abby at his age. The faces he makes, his goofy looks he always gives - ALL Abby!! I know once he hit two it's going to be blur of how quickly he transform into a little person, and I wish I could just bottle him up right now. Abby too!! Oh don't even get me started on that subject...I can't even!
I'll try to post soon when we get into our new home! Oh and War Eagle :)
