Tough week!

(Go Yankees!)

I'd like to say that this was a week filled with lots of interesting & exciting stuff....truth is, this was one tough week!!

On Monday, the boys started going to a Daycare Center, or Child Development Center (CDC)- whatever you want to call it!

It's been a week of adjusting. A week of faith & much emotional strength. A week of waking them up very early. A week of tired, worn out kiddos when we pick them up. The good news is that we are learning that our boys are FLEXIBLE, HAPPY and just downright a delight to be around, even when we are waking them up at 5:30 in the morning to get up, get dressed and get to "school"- as we like to call it!

One of Eli's highlights...is that he worked on finger painting and clearly repeated, "Red" when his teacher asked him too! Quite an accomplishment for a little man struggling with speech. He also got to make a pumpkin apple bake for his class snack. Joel's highlight of the week was that his teachers let him hang out with Eli's 2 year old class for part of each day! The teachers all said that Joel loved being able to be near his big brother!

Both boys seemed to love being with the other kids and having lots of structured activities. Each day was filled with a new adventure and we look forward to seeing them grow & learn. Oh, and Friday was "picture day", so when those come in, I will be sure to post them!

We are very blessed to have a family that is so supportive and will to help us and our kids during this big transition. Big shout-out of THANKS to Momo, Pops, Grandma, Pap, Great Grandma James & Aunt Tiggy! We love you guys!!!
