Rushed update.

Haven't updated this in a while. Nolan has recovered nicely, since the last post. He just has 2 little scars, his bellybutton is all back to normal. His birthday is in 2 weeks from today! This year has gone by so fast. We are having a party for him the weekend after. It started off as just a small cake and ice cream thing, and has morphed into me inviting pretty much everyone local with/without kids, and is pirate themed, with a pinata and a bounce house and everything else. ha We are getting the yard all fixed up for that. We tore apart the old deck, took down the patio cover, and the atrium. 2600 lbs of wood altogether. Now there is just a square of dirt where the deck once was, and also where the atrium was. I know we are rebuilding the patio cover first, and that is probably all that will get done by the party.
The week after, Devin's brothers will be here. Maybe they know how to build a deck. ha!

School is going great with both the kids. Nic is already about 1/2 way done with 1st grade math. I have bought some materials on my own that are at the same level, because before we move on, I want to make sure he knows it really good. So we've just been reviewing what he learned over the summer. He has been reading books to norah and nolan before bedtime, which is freaking adorable. Norah is starting to read small, simple words too. So cool. Next Friday, CHEP is having a field trip to the beach to see the tidepools. They will love that.

I will have to add more to this when I have more time. (lol when is that??? )
