Melody is 9 months!

Melody is now 9 months old.  I can't believe it!  She is totally into everything and already walking.  She is always happy and we are so glad she is a part of our family!

Jacob's Arrow of Light

At the beginning of November Jacob had his Arrow of Light Ceremony.  He has worked really hard and we are very proud of him.

Halloween

Madilyn's Baptism

Madilyn was baptized on Oct. 8th. It was a wonderful day - we are all so proud of her.  She is a wonderful girl and we were so glad that Grandma and Grandpa could spend this great day with us!

Grandma and Grandpa come to visit

At the beginning of October Grandma and Grandpa Johnson came to Texas for Madilyn's Baptsim.  We had a great time going to the Houston Zoo and the Beach.  We were so glad they came and we had a wonderful time with them.  We were so sad to see them go and we can't wait to see them again!

First Week of School

 These were all the fun pictures from the first week of school this year.  They look so great and were so excited to start school.  They were nervous about this new school because they only went to it two months before summer.  They have transitioned really well.  I am so proud of them.  I can't believe Zain is in Kindergarten.  I miss him during the day and it is a long day.  They start school at 8:10 and don't get home until 4:00.  The older kids only get 1 recess that whole time.  Kindergarteners get two but one of them is short.  They are exhausted by the time they get done with school but they usually have another hour of homework they have to do. They do a great job  - but they can't wait to have a holiday break and neither can I!

Astros vs. Cubs

 

The boys were so excited to go to their very first professional major league baseball game.  Jacob loves the Cubs and so when they came to Houston to play the Astros they just had to go.  Even though the Cubs lost the game was super exciting Jared and the boys enjoyed every minute of it.
