We are still here....

I can't believe October is right around the corner.  This year has flown by and that only means my little boy is growing up way to fast for his mommy.  Sometimes I wish I could just freeze time.  He is such a blessing!

The last few months have been really great.  In August we got to watch a great friend of ours get married.  Rory who is like a brother to Jacob and an Uncle to Jerry married his long time girlfriend, Darcy.  The wedding was in Denver so we traveled that direction, dropping Jerry off at my parents on the way and we spent the weekend celebrating with friends we haven't seen in a long time.  Jerry had a great time with his Grandpa and Grandma as he always does and of course then never wants to leave them.

I also turned 30 in August and Jacob and I celebrated our 8 year anniversary.  We have been together for 15 years and it's been amazing.  We are very happy and blessed with our lives.

The first part of September we went to St. Thomas to continue the celebration of Rory and Darcy's marriage.  Jacob's parents flew in to stay with Jerry at our house.  It was so nice seeing them and spending time with them.  Jerry had a great time.  Aunt Amber was also able to come up and stay too.  
They did all kinds of fun stuff.
Our trip was a relaxing one - no plans but to hang out at the beach and play in the water and knowing Jerry was at home with his Grandma and Grandpa helped make it easier to be away.

A BIG THANK-YOU to Grandpa and Grandma for all you did for us while you were here!!!

Jerry has really started to like school.  He is finally sharing with me more about what he is learning and what he does at school all day.  There were times I would ask him and he would tell me "I learned" and that was the extent of it.  Only once has he told me "I didn't learn today mom".  Such a stinker!  But I know he is learning by just watching him play and read his books.  He counts everything - I heard him count to 26 the other day and he knows all of his letters, big and small.  He is learning the sounds for the letters now.  I think his favorite thing to do is to cut with his scizzors.  It's fun watching him learn new things.
