Playing and Updating!
Well, I have finally figured out how to edit my pictures so that I can put them on blogger quickly! So I thought I would update you with some picks of the kiddos! You notice some missing teeth and new haircuts! Otherwise they are pretty much the same kids from this summer! I also thought I would throw on a couple pics from the park! Enjoy the update!
Starting School
This year Christian started school and Alison moved up to 1st grade. It is hard to believe that they are getting so BIG! School is going well. Alison is reading in both English and Spanish. She is weaker in English though. Spanish is easier to read and write, so I'm not surprised that she is doing well in this. She is also writing very well in cursive. We are very proud parents! Christian is doing well. He likes school and is beginning to speak in Spanish. The other day he told me, "my friend had dos(two) pencils". He just had tests and did excellent in both Spanish and English! Again, we are very proud of him!
Mini-Olympics
Earlier this month Alison and Christian participated in some mini-Olympics with their school. They marched in, carried a (very) fake torch around, and played in several different kinds of races. They played at the same time so Chris went with Christian and I went and watched Alison. We even got to play in several of the races with them!
Christian held his teacher's hand the whole time.

Tag
I was tagged by my friend Toni. I have never actually done one of these, but since it was Toni...:)
Here are the rules. 1)Each player starts with eight random facts/habits about themselves. (2) People who are tagged need to write a post on their own blog (about their eight things) and post these rules. (3) At the end of your blog, you need to choose people to get tagged and list their names.
MY FACTS:
1) I'm addicted to talk radio. Yes, this is not normal, but true. Even though I am in Mexico I have found a way to have my talk radio. My favorite is Dr. Laura, but I also like Rush and Hanity and that finance guy with the real soothing voice. It's so bad that I can't clean the house unless I have it turned on.
2) I love Andrew Lloyd Weber. Almost anything of his is great. I especially like his latest called Whistle Down the Wind.
3) I always clean my house in the exact same order. I have tried to clean out of order and I find that it takes me longer and I will forget to do something. Maybe I'm a bit OCD, but at least the work gets done (as long as I have talk radio on)!
4) I LOVE when the weather changes. I have to admit, I miss the weather in Lubbock. I love this time of year when it cools down and the leaves change, then it gradually gets colder until it's freezing! Then, as you get sick of the cold it starts to warm up. Then summer comes and the days are long so you can play outside for sooo long! Love it!!!!!!!!
5) I can't sleep with socks on. It makes no difference how cold it gets, if they are on, I can't sleep.
6) My favorite time of day is at night. I love, after a long, busy day, to put the kids to bed, have the house already clean and sit. I like to watch TV with Chris, or read a good book.
7) I love reading my friends blogs. I feel like I have reconnected with so many "old" friends through the web. I have reconnected with almost my whole AIM team and other classmates. I love having Christian friends. It is nice to be able to keep in touch even though we are so far away.
8) I love my AIM girls more then they know. Working with AIM has been the most rewarding work I have ever been a part of. Their are a few I may encourage, but the reality is, they encourage me more then anything. They have brought me friendship and a since of excitement for God that I had been lacking. I treasure my time with them.
