The month of November

November has been a rough month for us. Juan has been sick for most of it and his doctor has been unable to figure out what it is. After all of the testing and office visits, we still have no answers but at least now he is feeling better. Still a few sinus issues and a sore throat but much better than he was. Unfortunately, Thanksgiving dinner for him consisted of mashed potatoes because it was the only thing out of all the food that he could swallow. We saved a piece of pie for him though. Hopefully he will be able to eat it soon.

Jarod has another tooth loose and can't wait for it to come out. He spends a lot of time wiggling it and trying to pull it out.
Jarod is doing very well in school. We had our first parent/teacher conference and his teacher is very impressed with him. He practices writing all of the time and tries to read by himself but asks "what is that word" a lot.He does read the words he recognizes though. Yesterday he told us that he is writing a book. He meant it very literally. He went into his room and was copying the words out of a book. He says it will help him be good writer. What a cutie!!

Keyla(kay-la) is doing well. She is pretty well potty trained and walks well on a leash. She loves us all but follows Jenn around everywhere. Her favorite thing to do right now is to jump onto our bed and get down under the covers. She will snuggle up to whoever is warmest and go to sleep. When we get her out of the bed she pouts a little.
