Long Time No See!

We've just been so busy with adjusting to Micah's new school and we've all been sick so I haven't been taking very many photos lately. But I snapped a few this morning--the one of Micah was taken just a few minutes after he got up, wandered into the living room and began downing peanut butter and crackers--his new favorite breakfast. He continues to enjoy his preschool experience, which includes a huge playground, a smartboard in the classroom and new friends. He attended a birthday party last weekend and has been talking about what he wants to do for his, which will be in a couple of months. To this point, we've just done birthdays with family since he really didn't have specific "friends" that he wanted to invite. But this year that has changed, and I'm pretty sure we will have several kids over for cake and ice cream, although I'm not brave enough to invite the whole class yet! Of course, it will be Spider Man-themed.

The video is of Jacob playing with his favorite frig toy and then stopping to give a big kiss to the camera! He's a sweetie. I love those kisses; of course, it's also those kisses that land us with our heads in the toilet when he decides to share the stomach virus with us, like he did this week. But, you've seen the video. How can anyone resist that? He continues to do well with the ear tubes. Unfortunately, we found out that Micah will have to get tubes and have his adenoids out in a couple of weeks since he still is having a lot of trouble hearing. Although I'm not looking forward to going through that again, I know it will be worth it when he know he can hear well. We're are especially concerned about that since he is in "real" school now and is starting to learn pre-reading skills.

Dan is headed to the dreaded "tech-week", the week in the rehearsal process right before the show goes up where the cast and crew meticulously work through each lighting and sound cue, blocking movement, and choreographed dance to make sure everything gels well. In other words, it means Dan is gone for almost the whole weekend. Blah. I hope he's feeling better by tomorrow so he's up for the challenge.
