Haley is 2 years old and Amy Started Kindergarten!

Hi there,


Haley turned 2 years old today! We are glad to have a big two year old! She started to speak in short sentences and is a very happy, goofy baby. She loves to play with baby dolls and pretend to be a mom. :) She likes to color, play with others, and loves to snuggle. :) We love to watch her grow. She is very loving and caring. And yesterday she decided a 2 year old shouldn't wear diapers anymore, so she is potty trained! :) Yay! 


Amy went to Summer School for two weeks before Kindergarten started. She loved Summer School and she loves Kindergarten (she just finished her first week of Kindergarten this past Friday). She goes to school by bus and leaves around 7:40 am and she gets home (also by bus) around 3 pm. She likes her class, she likes her teacher, and she even likes the food. :) We are so happy she is having a great time at school!
Last month Amy's second tooth fell out (the one in the middle on the bottom, next to the one that fell out early last month) and the permanent tooth already erupted in the place of the one that fell out early last month. 

Chris started a new semester at his university yesterday. He is taking two courses this session, and another two next session. His semester ends in December. After that he has two more semesters next year and he should be done with college. We can't wait! 

I started watching a 3 months old baby boy, Lane, this month. He comes over 4 times a week from Tuesday to Friday. He is a very happy, smiley baby. Haley loves to play with him, take care of him, cheer him up when he isn't happy, and Amy's first sentence every day when she gets off the bus is, "Is Lane here?" :) Amy asked if we could keep Lane the first day we had him, and both her and Haley love Lane ever since. We are glad we have the opportunity to watch him. It will be neat seeing him grow up!

August is always a fun month, with my mom, Haley, and Chris' birthday. My mom turned 60 on the 12th, Haley turned 2 today, and Chris will be 28 on the 21st. It's nice to be able to celebrate another year God blessed them (and us) with.

I mentioned in our last post that we will soon update you regarding our future ministry. Unfortunately we are still working out the details, so we weren't able to do so just yet, but we will do it as soon as we have all the information we need before we can share it with you. :) We hope to have our own website up and running by the middle of next month, so hopefully we will post our next post from there. That means we will stop using blogger for our future posts, but we will be sure to update you when it happens and leave a link of our own website here on blogger for all of you. We are excited for what God has in store for us!

Have a wonderful week!
The James family
