New Pics

Ok, I've been catching a lot of grief about not updating the blog lately, so here are some pics of the kids. They were both in a really good mood this morning before school and with daddy home to help get them ready, we actually had some extra time to take pictures. Usually I'm running around like a crazy person to get myself and them ready and out the door for 8 o'clock. Anyway, they are still both loving their new school. Jackson has three new friends, Adian, Caroline, and Jacob that he talks about everyday. He's been a little concerned about Caroline because she hasn't been at school the past two days. I told him that she was probably just sick and would be back soon. The next time he saw his daddy he told him he needed to go see Caroline and take care of her so she could go back to school. We're always telling him that his daddy's job is to take care of sick people. He is also picking up on the new languages really quickly, even Chinese, although his chinese teacher fusses that he likes to play too much in class. She says when he focuses he learns really quickly, but that he and Jacob spend too much time goofing off :) But Jack loves her and still calls her his o-ban teacher because o-ban is the first chinese word he learned. It means good or good job. And little Sloanie is just going with the flow, her usual happy self. I don't think she's picking it up like a sponge like Jack, but every now and then I catch her whispering the words to Frere Jacques or Sur le Pont D'Avignon. I suspect she's soaking it all in, but is a little shy about repeating it out loud. Which is probably for the best because Jason and I still have a hard time understanding her sometimes when she speaks English, or as we like to call it, Sloanese :)
