First Day of Preschool

Aiden started preschool last week. I was a bit nervous since he has been out of daycare for so long but he did great ! He went running into the classroom without hesitation and not a tear was shed... at least not by Aiden :)

At home before we left. He is a BIG fan of his dino backpack !

Walking in just like the big kids.

What do you mean I don't get to go to school too ?

I Will Blog Again !

Sorry for the huge photo dump but since I haven't blogged in FOREVER there was a lot to catch up on. No real excuse for not blogging - just busy (and about to get busier with baby #3 coming) but I have made a resolution to blog at least 1x a month so lets see if I can stick to it ;)

Isaac LOVES wearing Aiden's fuzzy crocs... with or without pants :)

Halloween 2010

5 months later...

Well it's been forever since I last blogged - no real excuse just the craziness that is life for Team Shelle right now. Aaron started his student teaching this semester and loves it - he is a natural teacher and we can't wait for him to start his teaching career. Because he now has to be teaching 5 days a week I took a weekend position at my job. It is nice because we don't have to have the boys in daycare but hard because it means we have little time together as a whole family - however we know it is just temporary so we can deal with it.

Aiden continues to talk non stop and is learning more and more each day. He still LOVES animals and we spend a lot of time at the library reading about different animals and their lives. He has become more social and wants to play lions (run in circles and roar) with any kid who will join him - luckily there seem to be lots of 3 year old boys who like to do this.

Isaac is getting bigger each day (pretty sure he is going to be bigger then Aiden soon). He still only says a few words but has not trouble communicating his needs by pointing and yelling. He still has the best smile EVER and loves to be hugged and snuggled.

Here are some random pics from the last few months.
