Big Wheels Keep On Turning

We are now the proud owners of a semi, a purple semi at that!!!  Nate found this semi up North near Traverse City.  He brought it home mid September.  Since buying the semi things have been going well for Nate and he continues to be happy not working in "the shop".  The boys were especially excited to learn that the semi has three seats.  This means they can both ride at the same time, no more taking turns!!

Forgotten Post of Lelands Six Year Photos

Leland turned six just prior to us going up North to see Nate's aunt.  While we were there I took some pictures of him for his sixth birthday.  I took just a couple more when we got home.  He is turing into such a handsome little man!!!

Another Day Of Firsts

The first day of school seems so long ago and I can definetly tell that I am back to work because I am getting behind on my blogging again!!!  The first day of school went well for both Leland and Sutton.  Sutton would not let me get a picture of him and his teacher at meet the teacher night, but decided it would be ok on the first morning.  Sutton has been enjoying preschool.  He can often be heard singing some of the songs he is learing there.  For the first week he would come home and tell us everynight at dinner "school is so fun", we will see how long that lasts!!  Leland notices the difference in the workload from kindergarten to first grade, but he is handling it well.  We are already seeing improvements in his reading and his math skills continue to grow as well.  It is nice to see him so motivated to read, Mrs. Skinner has been a great teacher so far.
