Already?

    This year is spiriling to end very quickly! I can't believe that Thanksgiving is this Thursday!!! I have all the stuff ready for it, but I am just not ready to let this year end yet! It seems that the older I get, the faster time flys by. When I was Bruce's age (5), I couldn't wait for the next school year at the begining of the one I was already in, I wanted birthdays to hurry faster and I always said that I was almost the next age up, even if it was months away (and Bruce does that now also)! When I was 10 I couldn't wait to be 13, a teenager. When I was 13 I couldn't wait to be 16 so I could drive. When I was 16 I was ready to be 18 and out of high school and out on my own. Even after I became a mother I still loved time flying by, and sometimes it didn't seem to fly by fast enough. When Matt was a recruiter, we couldn't wait for him to go back to the real army, even though we knew that eventually we would want time to go by more slowly.

     Well, it is that time now, the part that we wanted to go by more slowly, and it seems to be going even more quickly than ever before. By the time Friday gets here and we can start to enjoy our weekends together as a family, it seems that Monday morning has already creeped up on us. These next almost 6 weeks can go by in slow motion and that would be good with us, if just this year.

     But, I digress... On to an update. The boys have grown so much lately, that I feel like we shouldn't even bother with getting the next size up in clothes and shoes, but just go up 2 sizes! Levi went from a size 5 shoe to a size 7 in a very short period. Bruce went from boys size clothes finally, 4, to a 5 or 6 already! Levi wears 3T shirts, but even some of those are too short in the sleeves, and he has some of Bruce's old 4T shirts that already fit him! Now that 2011 is getting closer to being here the boy's are getting closer to being another year older. Bruce will be 6 and Levi will be 2! It seems like just yesterday that they were 4 and newborn... Levi is starting to like cartoons now, and he gets to watch a little bit in the mornings after Bruce goes to school. He likes Mickey Mouse Clubhouse and Handy Manny. He has learned to say new words just from watching these shows, such as, hotdog, tools, toodles, manny and mouse.

     Meanwhile, Bruce is doing great in school. When we talked to his teacher at the parent teacher conf. we found out that he is a very big helper in his class and that he is trusted to walk through the school all alone and deliver messages! We were also told by the counciler and his teacher that he is very happy and charming (although we already knew that ;)). He is doing great and he loves school so much. Just the other day he earned a homework pass, and I told him we were going to use it and not do the homework for that night, and he was very upset because he loves to do it!

Matt and I are doing pretty well also, but nothing really new to report on us for now!

God Bless and have a wonderful day!
