Jack really enjoys going to his preschool. We are proud of all

the progress that Jack has made this year. He knows his letter sounds and can write and sound out short vowel words.

We love his teacher and he has a good little group of friends at school. He has been much braver this year and has

attempted things that he would not of attempted in the past. He will start swimming lessons next week and we hope he continues to be brave. :-)

There are not enough words to express how much we love this guy. We learn daily from him and through him about our heavenly Father. Since having children we have had new revelations about how much God loves us and about His patience and unconditional love for us. There are times when Jack and I are dealing with some "growing pains"and I see a total reflection of my relationship with God. We thank God for him and we pray for continued guidance in raising him.
