Trippin out and Parent teacher conference day

First our Trip-

We rode a train called the TRE all the way into Fort Worth

Jonathan and Daniel LOVE trains. that and Airplanes and Airports... We see lots of those living by the Dallas/Fort Worth Int'l Airport within minutes of our house. That and Bass Pro (with the giant fish in  their tank)

They have a lot of stars out here Although we can't yet figure out how this is the "Lone Star" state seeing so many.

Sarah came too and was attached to me in a carrier. Daddy held her while I took some pictures while we rode on the top level on the train

Parent Teacher Conference Day:

Daniel: 3 weeks into school and the teacher has already figured out Daniel is quite the intelligent little boy although he has speech issues.

She has already figured out what motivates him as well, and has begun to help him work on getting him to stop with the chewing/mouth issues.

He really has surprised the staff at his school of how interactive he is and how eager he is to learn.

He had homework and I was able to help out with my awesome Google skills.

Jonathan: Although there aren't letter Grades in Kindergarten. He's doing fairly well so far. although his reading and writing need help he is getting better with the ordering numbers... He's still a little bit lost with his alphabetical order. all I got to say is some of this he at least got honest from his Dad. 

His teacher loves him so much.and she told us a story from when she was in class a week prior. She had been drawing a picture of what she did at home with her family. She drew a picture of  her, her husband and a younger child gathered around a computer (her older one is off in college). When she asked her class of 5 year olds what she was doing: some said they were playing a game, some said it was a picture. a few said facebook.  When the activity had ended and everyone's attention was somewhere else Jonathan goes up to Mrs. C. and says "Its called Skype-ing mrs. C." That was in fact what she was drawing. He was so excited.

(I never ever use full last names unless I have permission)

We answered her questions about our train trip to her as she only got a partial story.

 Like I stated in the last post I do not have any issues with his teacher. She's just awesome. We like her and she is liking him. She communicates well, although returning an email saying she's looking into a matter would be great

We have been blessed to have 2 great teachers at 2 great schools. Daniel has had some behavior challenges that caused him to have a sad face in his binder... but Jonathan has had nothing but green smiles in his. He likes having the green smiley and takes pride in it.

Be blessed.

Prayer request: Andrew is currently looking  for another job (as per our plan when we moved out here-But was sped up by circumstances beyond his control). He has several interviews tomorrow. We'd appreciate God's favor and proper pay and benefits and time of day we need etc.. We'd also love for him to start soon.He's driving us all insane.

We found out through a personality test last night that is is one of his traits.  We love him so much but he needs to be engaged in feeling useful for him to be happy.
