Hi there! Just to catch everybody up post-Ike. The kids are already putting in requests to Santa...you never know if he will deliver! Jachin learned to ride a bike Saturday, October 6th...it took him about 5 minutes or less. Greyson on the other hand hasn't had much luck, he has decided he wants a new pair of training wheels instead. Jachin has joined the "Mad Science" club at school which meets every Monday for an hour. A group from NASA's educational outreach come and do experiments with the kids and teach science. He loves it! He is also practicing every week for the Christmas Play. Jachin has already learned some fundamental reading & math skills and he is loving school. Greyson on the other hand is in Pre-K and has great fun on the tumble bus and enjoys telling the cafeteria lady what to cook! Both of the boys went yesterday (10/22) to the eye doctor for their first visit. Jachin has perfect vision...Greyson...not so perfect...he has strong astigmatism in both eyes and is farsighted. Needless to say he is getting glasses and will undergo another series of eye tests to try to speed up the treatment of the astigmatisms. The astigmatisms are affecting his ability to see distance and his far-sightedness is affecting his ability to see up close...who can win with that? Grey can use a small miracle now =) Other than those items...we are just having fun!
