Here's a beautiful picture of three generations.

Francy Ogle; Amy, Aidan, and Kate Van Liew.

may day update

Aidan
While eating rice crispies at the dinner table at the Ogles', Aidan used his nostrils to blow air and move them on the table.  He thought this was hysterical, and he got all the rest of us laughing, too.

Katelyn
Kate can now say "hi" really well and says it constantly to people she sees.  We were told last Sunday that Kate was the only baby not crying in the nursery and the silver lining to the dark cloud of many other babies showing off the waterworks.  The workers were saddened greatly when Agoo picked her up and took her, their lone good tempered baby, out of the nursery.  She truly has a happy and positive temperment and personality.

Amy

Amy only has 5 weeks left until the suspected due date for Isaiah to join us out of the womb.  We are very much looking forward to his appearance, though I can't say we are particularly ready (some might say we don't even know what that means yet).  She's feeling alright, but she's ready to be done.  There are days and times that she wishes Adam was home to handle everything else so she could just rest.  Amy is an amazing lady, and quite the trooper.

Adam

There are only 2.5 weeks left of school.  Adam is excited to be done with school and be home with Amy and the family, especially with Isaiah just around the corner.  Adam also has an exciting opportunity that could be coming his way.  There is a Math and Science Teaching Fellowship through ASU that is funded through a government grant.  This fellowship would be a total of a 7 week commitment, but Adam would be paid a grand per week.  He would also receive a stipend which will include a brand new laptop computer and the ability to buy whatever technology that he wants to own for use in his classroom or wherever he desires.  The program includes 5 weeks during the summer with the mornings being research and the afternoons being curriculum creation with a collegial team.  Adam is truly excited about the possibility of being chosen to be a part of this incredible opportunity.  He submitted his application and a statement of interest, and he had his principal send a personal recommendation for him to enter the program.  We'll just have to wait and see if he's accepted.

nerd day

Yeah, so today was nerd day during spirit week.

These are a few of my students who decided to dress up.

Yes...I got made fun of all day.

This is one of my TAs.  She even put underwear on the outside of her pants.  Weird.

This was just too cool.

little suns fan

We were over at the Ogles' this afternoon.  Well, our A/C busted, so, yeah, Amy was tired of being pregnant and sitting in a hot house, so we went over.  Aidan and I played out in the back yard for quite awhile.

The Ogles were gracious enough to let us hang out there, and, actually, Amy and the kids are sleeping over there because of the A/C, but I have a bike and I need to be at school and let Amy have the vehicle, so I am sleeping at home alone.  AHHHH!  Oh, yeah, and isn't Aidan quite the studly and cute little man?

So, these pictures are of Aidan and how cute he is, not about our A/C, but, hey, you needed an update on our lives, right?

He's my little suns fan.  Also, he keeps expanding his vocabulary.  He is getting really good at saying a lot.  (Wonder where he gets the talkativeness from?  Didn't think so.)

I don't know how he would stack up to others, and that doesn't even matter, but I believe he is incredibly awesome and quite intelligent.  Wait...he's still a sinner in need of a Savior.  Pray for that for my children today, would you?

Oh, yeah...and the Suns beat the Warriors tonight, just fyi.

aidan and eli

Amanda Fagerlie brought her nephew Elijah Blackford over when watching our kids Sunday night.

Aidan has really started liking to wear hats.  Normally he'll put both of the ones they're wearing one inside the other and wear them both at the same time.

The boys looked so darn cool wearing them together that I had to get some pics.

Uhuh...what macho studs, right?
