Fall Retreat

This week was pretty good. Jaxson had a better week at school... No Tears!!! Yea for mommy... Krista has been a huge mom of the year. Taking Jaxson to school, helping him relax, and getting him excited about going. This week was more of a relief for Krista than for Jaxson. Jaxson also has really taken on his Spanish class. Usually when I come home from work I ask him how Spanish was. He usually just shurgs it off and talks about spider-man. This time when I asked he counted 5 in Spanish and was really excited. I was thrilled that he actaully was excited too. This week Vada had her annual and she was in the 60th percentile for weight and height. She is off to a great start for her new little life. The best news was that the doctor says she doesn't need a heart check up for her murmor. What a relief. The week was pretty uneventfull for the most part, till Thursday. It seemed like everything was happening that day. Krista had an annual I had a Missions meeting and we needed to play a balancing act with getting dinner ready and the kids packed for our minnie vacation.
On Friday though, I had the day off and we headed up north to celebrate her parents 30th aniversery. We stayed at the Grand View Resort. It was a beautiful place. Krista again came through with a phenomenal cabin for us. It was right on Gull Lake. Jaxson and I took this oppurtunity to take Grandpa fishing. Jaxson caught his first fish with Grandpa. It was pretty funny. There were a couple of guys fishing there all afternoon. Jaxson dropped his line in and he caught his first fish with Grandpa's help. The other guys were pretty upset but told him nice work. Jaxson was brining them in one by one for an hour.
We had a good day Friday just relaxing after that. Katie, Krista's sister, brought up this new mind boggeling game called Blokus. It was addicting and we played for hours. Saturday we took Jaxson to make some crafts and hang with some other kids. Than we went to get Vada and swam for the rest of the afternoon. That night Krista and I made sweetish meatballs and a cake for desert. Vada and Jaxson were playing hide-n-seek and I think they both wore out Katie. Especially Jaxson.
It was a calming trip home. Jaxson, Vada, and Krista all slept on the way home. It was a great weekend.
