Sweet Two Year Old

Sweet Ailia. Two Years Old.

Fish Fry

This is starting to become an annual tradition. Friday Fish Fry at the VFW with Papa, Bama, and Great-Grandma and Grandpa Toomey.

Hot Air Balloon

Hot air balloon at pre-school for creative play. Jaden is holding the ABC box. The letter was "S" for sand and shells. Ailia always gets to experience pre-school fun right along side her brother ~ the best teacher ever!

Post Office

One of the fun units this past month at pre-school has been the post-office. The children can write letters to one another and receive them from each other or anyone who sends them to the mailbox at school. Mom, Dad, and Papa made sure to send something to Jaden at school. Above are the pictures Ailia made for Jaden! She sure loves her brother!

The Hulk

At lunch today Jaden was wearing a "church shirt" and I suggested he take it off so he didn't get too messy.
He replied with, "Are you sure you want me to? There's the incredible hulk under here."

Work

I love that when I go to work and open up my bag, out pops a yellow ball.
A special present from a precious child.
Reminding me of my highest priority and number one job.
(And keeping me humble as well.)

Jaden and Ailia

Preschool

One of the best parts of a cooperative preschool is getting to go in and help in the class periodically. I absolutely love these kids. Jaden's teacher, Mrs. Becky, is wonderful. She is kind and creative, patient, organized, fun, and accepting. They do so many fun things at school and learn so much. I am so thankful this is Jaden's first introduction to school. What a great beginning.

Beauty and the Beast

Watching Beauty and the Beast at Spaghetti Warehouse with Daddy, Mommy, Ailia, Ethan, and Miss Heather.

Go SU! #1 in the Nation!

Continuing with their tradition, Brian took Jaden to the dome to support SU. This day ESPN was there to broadcast live for Game Day before the Villanova game.

Erector Creations

A friend of ours let us borrow their erector set. Jaden had such a good time building things from the directions as well as developing his own creations.

Suprise for You

When Jaden came home from pre-school on Wednesday he said, "Ailia, come here, I have a suprise for you." He pulled two envelopes out of his bag and Ailia said, "thank-you Jaden." He said, "Open them, they're Valentines."
He had made two valentines at school especially for her. He picked the ladybug and flower especially for her because he knew she would like them.
(How sweet is that?!)

Treeboy

It is winter, and we still can't keep this kid out of the tree!
