Yes, were still here!

Well, I started to update a week ago and again got side tracked. I just don't have the time lately and the boys are always doing and saying cute things that I need to jot down. Tonight for instance, Preston read us a book that he made at preschool (he has it memorized but it's still so cute to hear him read it)! He also has memorized a train book that I still have to get on video tape. I think he wants to be like big brother. Austin is doing fabulous in school we are so proud of him. His reading has just taken off. At the end of kindergarten he was reading on a level 6 or 8 which was a few levels above average and his teacher just told me that he was able to read a level 20 which is second grade level. Granted he is one of the oldest so I would expect for him to be ahead but not that much. He read a lot over the summer too because I know if they don't they will usually regress. One reason we held Austin back was to ensure that he would succeed and not struggle because he was the youngest. We will do the same with Preston. I don't regret our decision one bit.
Well, over the weekend we enjoyed another Cub Scout event. Jeff and Austin went to the pack camp out and Preston and I stayed for the dinner and a few activities. Austin had a great time. They were home before 7:30 the next morning though (with donuts-a yummy surprise). I guess Jeff couldn't sleep and it was so damp out that everything was wet even their blankets were damp. Preston and I came home and watched a little movie together and he was so excited he was going to sleep in my bed. Well, around 1:30 I'm woke up to a loud thump and crying little boy. He feel out of the bed. Bless his heart. He just wanted back in his bed then.
