Random Pictures of the Boys

Both boys just went back to school last week after break (DJ had 3 weeks and Cody had 2 weeks off). I was sad to see them go back to school. Their vacation time flew by quickly and Cody spent most of it with a cold. The cold weather is still foreign to us wimpy ex-San Diegans :) so colds are pretty frequent in our household.

DJ is happy to be back in school and is now starting a reading program. He received the first set of books today (3 of them) and already finished reading them all without my assistance! GO DJ! It is amazing how far he has come in these few months of school. He makes us so proud.

Cody is NOT as happy as DJ when it comes to going back to school. Although he started out like a champ a few months ago, he has slowly digressed and no longer likes going. He enjoys being there if I am there and participating with him, but if I do leave him behind, he cries and sometimes cries himself to sleep. It's heartbreaking, but I know he will eventually begin enjoying school independently again.

Here are some recent pictures of them.
