We're Back (sort of!)

Well, hello there! It has been way too long since I have been able to update you all! Our computer is still in bad shape and is currently being worked on by an awesome friend.  Another awesome friend lent us his laptop to use in the meantime but I unfortunately can't upload photos on it.  So, instead I'll just post some updates for right now until we can catch up on photos!

Our visit with Becky and Alan was an absolute blast and we really enjoyed having them here.  We are also currently missing them terribly right now.  Hayden fell in love with both of them and he had a great time learning how to use their iphones.  He actually figured out all on his own how to navigate the menus and get to the games.  They were so sweet and patient to allow him to play with their phones, even when he sneezed ALL OVER Becky's phone.  It was so funny to see her face!  We did lots of fun things with them such as Apple Annie's for apple and peach picking, The Pima Air and Space museum, Mt. Lemmon, etc.  We also ate all kinds of fun things and shopped until we dropped.  We love having visitors and can't wait for Sid and Di to come to us!

On Matt's front, he started his new position as a buyer at work and he is extremely happy with it.  He loves the interaction and he can't wait to see all of the great things this position brings him.  We are all very proud of him!

I've gone back to work as of last week and I'm really enjoying the new school we are at.  It's a very nice classroom and the school has a great feel about it.  I also have an awesome group of kiddos so it's going to be a super fun year!

Jane is still enjoying her new store and is plugging along just the same!  She misses Becky and Alan a lot, but Hayden always makes that better!

Speaking of Mr. Hayden, he's up to all kinds of awesome things!  He just gets smarter ans smarter as the weeks go by and he's such a joy!  He is loving the new school year because he is no longer the youngest.  Since he was with us last year and we have so many new kids, he's loving being able to tell the new children the rules and show them how things work.  It's so cute to watch him say "here I'll help you" or "look, you put your stuff over here".  He's speaking more spanish and sign language than ever so I am liking learning new signs along with him since he knows most of what I know already.  Hayden also got a little taller again and he's actually taller than one kid in the class this year! He's about 37 1/2 inches tall now so I'm so happy for him to not be the littlest anymore.  He's also got Matt's imagination and makes up such fun games.  I am so proud of my little guy and I can't believe he's almost 4 months away from being a 4 year-old!

Let's see, I suppose that's about all for now so I can make dinner really quick, but we love everyone and I will do my best to start posting every couple of days again!
