Happy Fall 2010!

So this is the new look for fall 2010. What do you think? The picture is of JJ and Miracle last Halloween. I think its such a sweet picture of her helping him cross the street safely! Its been awhile since a good update, but life at the Splan clan has taken a few unexpected turns. My husband had to quit his job for reasons that I fully support him for, but it threw our little family for a loop and a half. Thankfully, God provided him with another, better job less than a week after being unemployed. We are having to make some minor adjustments and learning that God is in control no matter what the case may be.

The kids are doing very well. JJ is about to turn 3! I cannot believe how fast he has grown. He took a lot of big boy steps this week. No more paci at bedtime (the only time he got it before) and big boy underwear all the time now. GO JJ! Miracle is working hard and enjoying first grade. Her love for the social life has had to be squeltered somewhat in order to prioritize school work...but she is loving it nonetheless. She is my beautiful dreamer, and I would never squash that...but she is having to mature and learn when it is OK to talk and laugh and when it is not OK.

I am thoroughly enjoying the feeling of fall in the air and looking forward to the upcoming holidays. I tried to get my husband to let me put the Christmas tree up already. He said NO! I guess he thinks its too early or something;)
