We're back!

I haven't posted since May, so I have a lot to catch up on. For now I'll just go through the highlights for each person.

Ian:
-He was diagnosed in July with Type 1 Diabetes. It was a steep learning curve with his treatment, insulin shots, checking blood sugar and counting carbs. He is doing great with this. He checks his own blood sugar levels and does some of his shots by himself (in the leg needs help with the arm still). There is a great nurse and health para at his school.
-He played soccer this last summer and had fun.
-He started 2nd grade and is doing great in school. His teacher is great in helping extend the learning of those students who are ahead. He goes with another teacher a couple times a week for extended reading and math. He has some good friends at school.
-He is getting ready to be baptized this year (in July at the family reunion!).
-He started playing basketball at the YMCA a couple weeks ago and is having fun with it. It is a beginning league/class.
-He has lost several teeth this past year.

Jaiden:
-He just turned 5 a week and half ago. Now that he is 5 he can do more things, like help Kathryn up the play area in McDonalds (he couldn't do that when he was four).
-He played tee-ball this last summer and did well. He is a pretty good hitter. He got distracted on the field a lot, but so did many of the other kids.
-He started preschool this fall and loves it! He has made some friends in his class. He goes in the mornings at the same school Ian goes to, which is nice.
-He knows how to read, but only will do so with prompting and help (pointing to the words).

Kathryn:
-She is growing fast.
-She loves playing with her brothers but also loves having time alone with Mom in the mornings.
-She talks a lot and things have to be her way.
-She is sort of potty trained (doesn't always remember to go).
-She loves nursery.
-She has taken several once a week classes through the local Recreation department and does well with them. She doesn't even say good bye to me when I drop her off, she just starts playing.

Rex:
-Still working at the airport and has split shifts which make for long days.
-Teaching the 10 and 11 year old primary class.
-Was doing the 11 year old scouts for church but then was released but still helps out since they have yet to call someone else.
-Redid our upstairs bathroom this year (I will make a post about this).

Becky:
-I am now in nursery at church (my forth time since we have been married, in each ward we have been in).
-Work at home for a family in our ward when they have stuff for me.
-Stay at home keeping busy with the kids and the house.
