Glenn's 2011

I just created a digital scrapbook for Glenn for last year. And then it will be printed into a photo book. I thought I would share it with you. Copy and paste the link below and it will take you to the Picaboo web site and you can view the photo book (and Uncle Gale, you should be able to print the pages, although Grandma has most of the pictures in her photo book).

Glenn 2011

We went to CT between Christmas and New Years and enjoyed getting to see our friends and family. Then we brought Bob's mom home with us for a couple weeks. It was an adjustment for me when she left: I had to clean up the dishes and fold the laundry. It was really nice having her here with us. She got to be here for Alexander's first day at his new school.

Alexander loves his new school. This month, he has been going three days a week for 3 hours a day. I've been teaching two sections of my course and felt he wasn't getting the attention he deserved the two mornings during the week he was home with me, so I just changed his enrollment to five days a week. He and I have one hour at home just the two of us before he goes to school and then we have two hours after I pick him up before I pick up Glenn. So, it's nice that we still get that one on one time.

Glenn is still loving school. He was happy to get back to school after the Christmas break. He missed his friends and teacher. And he has his birthday coming up next week. He will be turning 7 on the 31st. We asked him what he wanted to do for his birthday and he said he wanted to go bowling. He's only gone once. He's excited to teach his brother how to play and Alexander keeps telling me that Glenn is going to teach him. I also asked him if he wanted to go out to dinner somewhere, and he said Olive Garden. He's so grown up! He likes the salad and bread sticks and then of course he gets the pizza. :) We're going to celebrate his birthday on Sunday. I brought him to the grocery store today to pick out what he wants for his birthday cake. He chose chocolate cake and strawberry frosting. I made sure he knew that meant his cake would be pink, and he was firm that this is what he wanted. And then he picked out red hots to go on top. I knew there had to be red somewhere on that cake (his favorite color).

I'm going to start working at the office with Bob a few days a week. That was another reason Alexander is going to school every day. I'm going to be doing something with the incoming equipment, something about tagging the machines and some paper work. Sounds thrilling!!! <<>> The guy that usually does it is now going to be working from home a few days a week, so I'm going to do this so that Bob can focus on what he needs to do. Supposedly it should take about an hour each day I go in. Business is going really well, especially for winter. So, we're very happy about that.

I guess that's all the news we have for now. Stay warm! (We are!)
