The Boys

I don't think I've mentioned that we have a new routine for our boys. Though Kellan really enjoyed his preschool and learned a lot there, we struggled with some behavior issues that progressed through last school year. We were seriously thinking about other options when our wonderful daycare lady, Arlene, let us know that she had an opening for another kid. At the same time we received notice that the preschool was implementing a rather substantial rate increase....and that pretty made up our minds for us! So, now the boys are back to going to daycare together and they LOVE it! Jacksen and Kellan have suddenly become great buddies and Kellan is taking his role of "big brother" very seriously! He seems to be growing up so much these days - and he's outgrowing those unsavory behaviors we experienced during the last school year...THANK GOD!!!

Lately the boys have become very interested in riding their horse. In fact, Kellan insists on having his own "rodeo" every night after dinner. He and Jacksen make a big production of changing into their jeans and boots and heading out to the corral together. Here are some photos of tonight's "rodeo":

I remember that when each of our babies were born, I felt a little guilty about having less time for the other kiddo(s). But now I know that they are such a gift to each other!
