Full swing of fall

We are all now well into the fall and the boys are into the routine again
 
Aiden is now in 2nd grade and again doing so well. He loves his homework, enjoys his new teacher, and happy to see all his friends. He once again has an amazing teacher, who was a first grader teacher last year. She moved up with the kids, so I already knew she was pretty cool.
 
He's also been doing fall ball and kept up with swiming. He decided this year to skip soccer (the first time since he was 3)  so he could he could get better at baseball. We are so proud that this kid tries his best and gives it his all, no matter what he does. He's loving fall ball and the "clinics". Aiden is also doing amazing in swimming. He's a different person in the water from last year. Now he now goes under water like a fish and is gliding, kicking and now learning to use his arms. We couldn't be prouder!
 

Jonathan is now in his last year of preschool. We registered him for the 3 day prekindergarten class. He also has wonderful teachers (which we already knew because Aiden had them)! JP is definitely different then Aiden, he's more about playing then learning, but smart too. If it is something he's interested in, he's all over it- like Dinosaurs. He can name almost every kind! We're amazed at what he knows/learns, but doesn't show us until he is ready.
 
Jonathan has also had an active fall. He's done a gym class, which he loved and was so good at! He too is doing swimming and getting better- he moved up a level. He's also doing soccer through his school.
 
JP recently had a follow up Ortho appt that went very well too. His 2 8plates that he got in June are doing what they should be. His doctor was happy with the way his leg looked, so for the time being we are free from procedure and  go back in January for our next follow up!
 

And lastly, we are getting into the spirit of fall and Halloween. The boys got their costumes (they're gonna be Ninjas from the lego show Ninjago). We also went to the pumpkin patch with their cousin (Alison's sisters daughter) this past weekend and have painted pumpkins. Only thing left is to carve our big pumpkin.
