Today has been a day full of exciting new things for the kids. I didn't plan any of it, it just fell into place. Today was Hannah's first day as a Firefly at the Tumble Bug gym. She did awesome!! I was so proud of her! She did things that I didn't even know she could do! She was challenged more so than she has ever been before. She handled it very well! When we were getting ready this morning for her class, I noticed that it was particularly difficult to put on her leotard. It seems that she has grown quite a bit since I bought this one! We left early and headed for the gym to see if we could buy a new one. Since she is a gymnast, they wear different fitting leotards. So you have to buy them at the gym! Hopefully, this one will last a little longer...they're quite expensive but, nice! She got a new leotard that fits her perfectly! After class, the owner of the gym gave each of them a ring-pop for graduating up into the new class! Hannah devoured hers after lunch!!
After her class was over it was time to pick up Jake from down the hall! He made a BAT today in preschool! Very cool!! He did well in class and did extremely well being in underwear! The teacher is quite pleased with his progress in potty training!! I can officially say...JAKE IS POTTY TRAINED!!!! YEA!!! What a big boy! It had been such a great day, thus far, that I decided to see if Brent had left out of Mckinney airport yet! He hadn't, so we headed that way to share with him all the good news!! When we arrived, there was a fire truck helping out someone that had just arrived on another airplane. The kids love fire trucks!! Their little eyes got so big when they got out of the car and saw it. As we got through the gate they just sat there at starred at it!! I don't think they have ever seen one up close. The firemen came from around the truck and started talking to both of them and gave them some stickers and tattoos!! Then they let them sit in the front seat!! What a huge treat for them!!! Then it was off to Daddy's airplane! They got to play inside the Falcon for a couple of minutes and then it was off to lunch! This was such a great day for them! They will be talking about it for days!
Brent and I feel so blessed to have 2 wonderful and beautiful children! We love them so much and are so proud of them for all the new and exciting things that they are doing! They are so special to us and I thank God for them every day!

WOW, it looks like the kids had a full day today!! I can't believe how much they've grown in the 8 days I was gone, it seems like Jake is a big boy now and Hannah's hair seems so much longer and she also seems taller too!! I'm soooo proud of you kiddos!! Auntie Randi loves you guys sooooo much! Come over and visit sometime :o)
Isn't it neat how a totally unplanned day is often the most fun!
We are enjoying the blog & pictures so much. The trip to Sea World was great and the picture of Jake and Hannah asleep told the whole story of an exciting day. Jake looks to be 4 or 5 in the fire truck picture and Hannah on the wing of the plane could pass for 6 or so. Can you and Brent believe your "babies" are growing up so fast?
Looking forward to seeing you all and grabbing a hug or two from Hannah and Jake, for sure!
