What?! They finally blogged...

It has been awhile.  We are living in Jersey and staying with my in-laws until we get situated.  It has been nice to be back here, though I do miss the people I reconnected with and met in Texas. 


Joseph has turned 8 and was baptized into the church.  He is in 2nd grade and loves to read a lot.  He finished all of the Harry Potter books and is reading a bunch of different books right now.  Joseph also started Boy Scouts.  He is super excited to be part of the den.  Joseph is currently attending the same elementary school that his dad, uncles, and aunts attended.  His teacher is actually one of his aunts old classmates.  Joseph also loves to play video games.  His current favorite is Minecraft.  Kids at school play, so he wanted to try it and now he is hooked. 


Samuel turned 5 yesterday.  Crazy.  We spent a lot of time on Monday talking about his last day as a 4 year old.  He said he felt older and bigger yesterday.  He can be super sweet, but he also has some major breakdowns.  We will see how he adjust to starting school in the fall.  Some of his favorite things at the moment are his babies (stuffed animals).  For his birthday he got a Plants vs. Zombies flower.  His love of the outdoors remains unchanged and he would be outside all day, but only if someone is with him. 


It is snowing outside right now.  There is a possibility that we will get about a foot of snow in the next 2 days.  It has been snowing steadily since early this morning.  Joseph had early dismissal and was super happy about it.  Samuel was going to start preschool today with a church group, but it got cancelled due to the bad weather. 


Joe and I are applying for jobs.  We got called to serve in the nursery as a couple.  The kids are cute, but they always seem to be sick.  This post is short, but not much has been happening here.  I know there was more that I was going to say about my boys, but I don't remember what it is at the moment.
