Time has flown by....again!!

Wow! I can't believe that it is almost November! Time just seems to go by so quickly these days. Can't believe that Emery is already 2 months old. Just had her check-up today and she is doing great. The doctor eased my mind with regards to her feeding, weight, etc. She is now 9 lbs 3.2 oz and 21 inches long. Still on the "smaller" side, but she is staying right on the growth curve, which is good news. I think she's going to be petitie like mommy. Unfortunately, she had to get 4 shots today, which she didn't like at all. Her little whimper made me cry too :(. It's never fun to take them to get shots, and of course, it always seems like I am the one to take them - how does Josh get out of it?!?

Life is good for the Kindlers! The boys are still loving school and Awana. Both have Halloween parties on Friday and of course, they are both dressing as Optimus Prime this year. Emerson will be a little pumpkin. We'll make sure to post more pics of the costumes next week. Masen only has 4 more weeks of eye therapy (he has completed 21 weeks already). His vision seems to be improving, so we are glad. He doesn't like the homework or patching part of eye therapy, but we are so proud of him for working so hard! He had a GREAT report from his teacher during conferences. In fact...to brag a little...she said that he is a "star student" and he is doing so well academically that she is now sending home 2nd grade homework for him to complete each week. He has really picked up on reading and is reading everything and anything in front of him, which is so neat to see. Dawson is really picking up on his preschool skills too. He comes home everyday with a new art project, which he (and we) are so proud of! He loves going to school, which especially makes Josh so happy as an educator.

Speaking of...Josh is applying for a Lead Principal position in the DeSoto district for next year. He actually has an interview on Monday and he is really excited about the possibility of opening his own (brand new) Elementary school. He is eager to move up in the education field, but knows that it will happen when it's meant to happen.

As for me, well, I continue to keep busy! In fact, I get excited when we actually have an entire day at home. This doesn't happen very often. Always and adventure for us waiting for us somewhere :).

Here are some pics from our first family shoot as a "family of 5." Enjoy!
