Sloan Family Zoo

My kids have created a zoo in our house. Much as in Good Night Gorilla, the animals seem to sneak their way into the zookeeper's bed at night. Fortunately for them, this particular animal liver doesn't seem to have a problem with that :)

New School

With our move this year out to a new city has come a change to move to a new school.  The two oldest kids were blessed to attend a wonderful school in Fort Worth, but when we moved, the drive to TLCC was prohibitive as a regular routine.  So, the kids have been out of a formalized school setting since the beginning of April and home with us full time.  While we love having them home, we also want them to have the benefit of the academic setting and social interactions that school offers, so this fall, we have enrolled them in a two day a week program at First Baptist Aledo.  For Robby, it is a preschool program, and for Juliet it is more of a play-centered environment.  Last week was their first full week of attendance, and they both really seem to love the school and are excited to go on school mornings.

The first pic is from when we took them to Meet the Teacher day a couple of weeks ago, and the second pic is from the actual first day of school.  The little guy will still be home with us full time this year, though based on his grin above, he seems okay with that :)

Happy 3 Months Lincoln!!

> Lincoln is getting so big already! My little man is three months old and has officially promoted upstairs to share a room with his big brother. He's also been going to the church nursery for about a month now and been totally spoiled by the workers in there. :).
>
> He's not quite rolling over yet, but he's working hard on it and will be mastering it very soon I think.
>
> He's also my first baby who has no interest in this thumb. Why suck a thumb when the whole fist is available for gnawing??
>
> He is a complete master at smiling, cooing, and laughing, pretty much enrapturing everyone who gets around him for any time at all. I'm definitely extremely smitten with the guy :)
