1st Parent/Teacher Conferences of the Year

We just got home from parent/teacher conferences for both of our boys. They went great...both boys are doing great in school...Matthew in 1st grade and Jacob in pre-school. It is so funny how our boys are so totally different in a couple of areas. At Matthew's conference, we were asked to encourage Matthew to respond a bit more verbally...he's always been pretty quiet in school. Jacob, on the other hand, has "no problem wanting to answer any and every question"! Matthew is not crazy about singing and Jacob loves singing! It is so awesome how God gives each of us our own personalities and uniquenesses. Even though Matthew & Jacob are quite different in certain areas, they are both the same in so many others. For instance, they both love to play superheroes, to read and be read too, to play outside and get extremely dirty, and they both love playing at the farm. We're proud of you both, Matthew & Jacob...and we love you so, so much!

One more thing...Happy Birthday, Elizabeth (my sister)...hope you had a FANTASTIC day!
