November

Well November has been a busy month for us.

We have a new addition to our family which is Alysa Marie. She was born on November 21st, 2011 at 1:58 pm. She weighed 8lbs 7ozs and was 20 1/2 inches long.

Jacob is still getting used to having a sibling and having a hard time learning he has to share the attention.

Jacob has had quite a busy month by trying to learn how to be a good big brother. He does help out by washing the bottles, sanitizing the bottles, he tries to feed her, and burp her. Jacob had a performance on November 27th at the Festival of Trees by tapping and doing jazz dance (which is his first year). So far he seems to like both. Jacob was in the top 3 sales for cub scouts selling popcorn. He sold over $800.00 and had the honor to pie his den leader in the face. He is really enjoying it. Next week is a potluck for the pack meeting and he is excited because he is going to help his step-dad make banana bread muffins with white chocolate chips.

I have fallen behind in school a little upon the arrival of Alysa. But I have things worked out with my instructors so I will be able to catch up and get good grades still.

Were still in the waiting phase on the military. Hopefully we'll have answers in the next few weeks or so. Jared is also trying to pick up side jobs here and there. He also wants to start helping more with Jacob's cub scouts so that will keep him busy.
