Boise

About a week ago Adam applied for a couple of accounting jobs in California and Idaho. Within a few days he had heard back from them and had job offers. We decided to take the job offer in Boise Idaho He is suppose to start September 19th. This has happened a lot faster than expected and although we are leaving Boston sooner than we originally thought we ever would we are very excited to be heading back "home".

Memory

After a little pestering from Adam I finally got the game "Memory" for Alex. We only play with about six matches and by the end of the game we realize why the game is for ages 3+. Alex gets so excited to play it but by the time we have it set up we have to keep reminding him to stay on task. He is learning how to take turns in the game and that not every card is a match. His favorite part is organizing all the cards to put back in the box. When Alex goes to bed Adam and I have been setting up the whole game to play together. For now we are the ones enjoying it the most and it is actually very fun.

Cheese and Crackers

Cheese and saltine crackers are a common snack for Alex in the afternoon. I have taught him how to stack the cheese on top of the cracker to be able to eat it together. But today I was out of the normal block cheese that I could slice so I gave alex a cheese stick and saltines. This is what he came up with.
