It's already Sunday?! Well so far, 2009 has been filled projects, education, friends and good food!
Monday was my first gathering with the new book club that I joined with my girlfriend Kali. I am very excited about the book selections, they are all either classics or internationally based. Our January gathering included two books because they were not able to meet in December with the Holidays. We discussed, A Thousand Splendid Suns and The Red Tent. I would highly recommend these novels, they take place thousands of miles from here and give us a glimpse of what it is like to live in a land of war, politics and poverty. I am currently working on War and Peace, our March book-wish me luck!
Friday Jaxson attended "puppet escapades" at Eastman Nature center. The class started with a puppet show learning about all the colors we can see in nature during the winter months and then proceeded with a nature hike to find all the colors. He had so much fun- they even got to put corn out for the deer. He is very interested in Owls and asked question after question to the leader of the class about where they live, when they are awake, what they eat.... my eager learner!
Friday night we went to eat at Benihana's, Jaxson loves watching the dinner presentation- especially the onion volcano! Vada did very well too, with everything going on there was always something to watch.
We officially took away Vada's nuk! She cried and cried the first night, but that was it! She is talking so much more. She can say Jaxson, momma, dadda, Lexi, Hi, umm..ummm.ummm, all done and she did say high chair once this week too.
On Saturday, grandma Vicky brought over a big surprise for Jaxson-this very own chair! He was so excited to have like Vada- it has already got so much use! Thank you grandma Vicky!
Jaxson always says the funniest things, the one that still has us laughing goes a little like this..
Presten and Jaxson went to Target to pick up some toilet paper.
Presten, "Jaxson we have to pick up some toilet paper for mommy, we need to find one that is a good deal."
Jaxson, "how about this one?"
Presten, "nooo", "oh lets get the one in the orange package"
Jaxson yells from down the isle "dad that toilet paper is a good deal for our butts?"
Presten laughing, "yes Jaxson it is"
Presten has been very busy with working 6 days a week and he found out that they are going to be audited on Tuesday and Wednesday so more long days ahead for him.
Well, off to read War and Peace!! Blessings to all! The Bean's
