Troy: Has been so busy with school and work. He's taking 3 art classes, one sewing class, a religion and a science class plus still working at Ace. In his spare time (which is increasingly less and less) he spends in his green house. He's had an amazing crop of lemon cucumbers and onions with a few peppers, tomatoes and white pumpkins.
This little guy decided to grow on the roof so Troy made a sling for it.
Last week he went shooting with the guys
So manly :)
Alison: I have been working part time at Lincoln Elementary school as an aid. I love helping the kids learn. I also have been chasing Rockwell around, trying (sometimes in vain) to keep up with the housework, sewing Rockwell's Halloween costume and doing other little projects, and growing a human.
One project we've been working on is our house. We've had some issues and needed to replace some of our "siding" pieces and since we didn't think we could match the color close enough and had to paint anyways, we went with a completely different color. So our tan house is now our bluish-gray house and I love it. It's a big project and still isn't done , but we're getting there.
My mom and my neighbor, Leslie, came to help me paint. I can't thank them enough. It went so much faster with their help. I had to take a picture of Leslie because it was kind of an adventure getting onto the shed and leaning over the crack to paint this part.
Rockwell was SUCH a good little helper. It took him less than 5 minutes to get covered in blue paint and once he was cleaned up, he discovered he likes to climb up the ladders. Scary! but funny. Here he is sporting his very own smock- putting him in it was the smartest thing I've ever done.
Here you can see the "siding" and how it is a different color and how it goes directly over the insulation. Trailers are cheap for a reason, I can't complain.
Rockwell: Is getting so big and SO much fun. He smiles a lot more now and even occasionally laughs. He loves the cats and the neighbors dog. He's a pretty busy guy, getting into everything and making a mess in about 5 seconds, but usually pretty quiet. He can say: mamma, dadda, pappa, grandpa ("Pampa"), cracker, and ball. He can sign: more, eat, please, baby, milk, water, and candy. He is currently refining his jumping skills and even manages to get one foot off the ground. He is even starting to communicate his will through small tantrums. He's a brave boy and loves to climb on everything but is careful not to attempt things beyond his level. We love him so much! He brings so much joy and chaos into our lives!
