Dream World

Before Sam started back into full-time work (yay for work!) we had a day out at Dream World with the boys. It was pretty fun. Jackson won’t go on any rides, except driving the cars, but Owen likes them!

Jackson’s 1st day!

Jackson started Kindy, or preschool this year. He was so excited to go, I was a bit nervous. He’s always been so shy, especially with unfamiliar adults. But he loves it. He’s gone all day on Monday, Tuesday, and every other Wednesday. Owen misses him, but  hopefully we’ll have fun together.

Christmas 2011

Christmas started off a bit rough. I woke up at about 3:40am and we realized that Owen was downstairs. We ran down to find he had opened most of the presents. I was pretty upset. After a few tears from both me and Owen, we got everything re-wrapped and ready to go. From there, things were great. We got to talk to skype with my family, and spent the rest of the day with Sam’s family. It was wonderful.

Owen got a bed. He was very excited. So was Jackson.

Jackson was playing on some shelves, and the shelf above him fell somehow. It landed just right and pulled off his entire fingernail. It was pretty traumatic, but he survived. The dr. didn’t think it would grow back, but it has now and looks perfectly normal!  This photo was about a week or 2 later.

Thanksgiving! We have 2 American missionaries, so we got to have them over for a proper Thanksgiving, along with some of Sam’s family. It was a lot of work, but well worth the effort.
