May 2013- Letter to Shane & Jackson

Dear Shane and Jackson-
Mommy is doing a major no no and writing one letter to both of you this month. I'm sorry but time has just gotten away from me this month and if I don't do this now, I fear I won't get a letter at all to you. So sorry in advance, I'll try never to do this again because you are your own people and we treat you as such as much as humanly possible!

March was a busy month for us. School is wrapping up as well as T-ball and karate will be coming to a close soon. You both have progressed really well at T-ball and karate but your favorite part about T-ball is still the playground (but I think I can say that for most of the kids on the team). Karate- Sense Joe does not let the parents in to watch any more and you do very well in class. You both are doing great!

We visited Auntie Val and Uncle Terry yesterday and while all you wanted to do was play outside (in the 95 degree heat), Uncle Terry had some good jokes for you. He played "Pay the toll" with his leg and you would laugh and crawl under or over his leg. And most notably, he played the missing finger joke on you. By now, you probably know that Uncle Terry only has half of one finger so he can play cool jokes with his fingers. He did the "my finger fell off joke" with you both yesterday and you were both really looking for the other part of his finger for a good 5 minutes! U. Terry told you it was in his pocket and he couldn't find it and that was that, but it was very funny to watch and listen to.

You are both early risers these days and very much into dunking what ever you have into your drink. Yesterday you were dunking Cheese Its into Grape Juice- yuck! but you found it very delicious.  Counting is coming along nicely and you both love to count everything. And every question is how many is that , how many is that....We are going to Ohio to visit your cousins in exactly one month! and we are all very excited for that ! Especially you both!

I love you with all my heart Jackson and Shane! You are mommy's sun, moon and stars.
Love always-
Mommy
