From this past week, you can tell fall is just around the corner! It's nice to be outside and the weather not be so humid and scorching, now if we could add in a bit more rain and that's my forecast for the day. Rogan has some wonderful and exciting news to share with everyone...he has decided that he's ready to be potty trained!!! yea for Rogan. He loves wearing his underwear! His favorite are the 'Lightning McQueen'. We are all so proud of him. He has completley taken charge of the potty! We are 'celebrating his independence'! He's only had one accident to report in the past week and he was very upset about it. I assured him that he might have accidents and it's OK!!! He just talks up a storm these days. He knows his colors now and is getting close to knowing his ABC's. He is such a big helper also...well, most of the time. Rogan wants to do every thing all by himself and seems to feel an extreme protest must be made should he not get to!
Grayson has already made many new friends in kindergarten. His new best friend is Seth who happens to live on the next street behind us in our neighborhood. Grayson has some great news to share also!!! He has been riding his bike with out training wheels now!!! He can also read a few sentences at a time and can read quite a few books now!!! The other night when I put him to bed, he read, 'Brown Bear Brown Bear' to me all by himself!! I was very proud of our big boy! He keeps talking about his birthday that isn't until next month and also counting down until Halloween. This is my family's favorite time of the year!!! Grayson will be going to one of his friend's from class next weekend to celebrate a birthday. His new friend Caleb is having a 6th birthday party! Grayson is looking forward to that also.
For those of you that don't know, Marc had hernia surgery last weekend. Once they opened him up, they found he had one both on the left and right! He is recovery nicely but is still sore. His recovery is at least ten days and we are on day ten as of today so I would say he has a little ways to go yet. All that working out and lifting heavy objects including our boys!! I must say, it was a bit challenging managing the boys and everything else that goes on around here with out him!! We are very thankful his surgery went well and grateful Grandpa and Grandma were able to help us out with our amazing boys!!! never a dull moment when 'The Mathias' boys are around! We also celebrated our Uncle Ross' birthday over the weekend at my mother's house. It was a very nice lunch and so great to see Uncle Ross who turned 81 last week. All that said, I am ready for fall and and the great things that go along with it. We will be in the Smoky Mountains in a few weeks and will have lots of great times and photos to share. Until then, be happy and love one another!!
