Austin at school Winter 2016

{Austin 58 Months}

Dear Austie-

Where is the time going? I am still in shock that YOU will be off to KINDER come August!!! My BABY will be in school EVERY day! I am getting very sad to know that this will happen. You and I have SO much fun together on our mornings...and I so enjoy them. I will definitely be sad when you are gone, but you are SO ready for it! Mr. Social, that's you! You enjoy people and play SO well with everyone. You do awesome with difficult kids...and then when they wont share or be nice, you help them out. I am SO proud of you. If someone wants the seat you are sitting in? You kindly get up and let them have it. You are the biggest peacekeeper and that makes us so happy to see. Such a kind heart. 

You are SO tall these days. In a size 5T, size 13 shoe, and no diapers ever anymore. You have been potty trained at night for so long. We are so proud. You are becoming a bit of a picky eater these days...only wanting certain things, like "sweeties" and I do tend to give in. You will eat your healthy stuff first but then want a treat ;) Like mother like son!

We are so proud of you Austie, and we love the sweet boy you are. Soaking in these last months of our morning time!

Love-

Momma

Wednesdays with this guy

Wednesdays is our date day. Gav and I have lunch at his choice....usually Village Burger Bar or Mimi's Cafe...then we head out for errands or a treat. He is getting so mature these days. Holds doors for me, helps me with things, such a little man. Love him so!

Santa 2016!

Today we went to Bass Pro Shop to see Santa! Gavin was very excited to tell him his list. Austin would not go near. First he took off running away, and when I finally got him to come, he would NOT look Santa's way! He looked away the whole time while squeezing my hands. PETRIFIED of the big guy! I didn't force him to, as he would have kicked and screamed! Poor Austie!

Winter 2016

Its December. Its winter (We are freezing although its not really that cold) and its dark out earlier and earlier. The boys need to keep busy in the evenings so one night Gavin put on a "Ninja Show" for family and friends. They dressed up in new gear and ran around doing ninja things. :)

Austin Mountain School in the Winter!

Quilting with Teacher Marie

Such a special tradition that the boys get to do....make a quilt with Teacher Marie at Mountain School! Austin was thrilled to find pirate fabric and make his name/hand prints with Marie. He sat for over an hour making the quilt! Such a special teacher...we sure will miss her!!!
