Where to begin?

Koa-
He is absolutely loving work (school). He has 2 really good friends. He talks about them a lot. Abby and Becca. He has progressed a lot since school started. We are so excited for him. He knows his color's and shapes (he love's pointing out hexagons, I guess he's the only one in his class that know's hexagon's). Now he can count to ten but he skips 4 cause its hard for him to say four. His Abc's are a different story. He will trace them but will not say them for us or at school. His teacher thinks it may have something to do with his speech. He did have a run in with a bully at school which he got punched. He never told us. Till the teacher called about it a week later wondering if Koa said anything. So Koa and this kid are not at the same recess anymore do to when the bullying was going on. Now Koa has said that the kid is nice to him at school. So that's fixed. Koa is still loving being a big brother. When he gets home from work he runs in the house and ask's "where's Eli?" And I tell him. He goes over to Eli and ask's him " did you miss your big brother?" and gives him hugs and kisses its to cute. Right now Koa has strep and a really bad cough. So hes home sick :(
Eli-
Eli has been on the move for awhile now. Its crazy to see him crawling and trying to stand up on things. He loves getting into Koa's toys and he crawls into Koa's lap all the time. He had his first stomach bug in September and his first ear infection in October. But other than that he's a pretty healthy baby. He weighs 16lbs. he's a little guy, but very active. He loves baby food. He is such a happy baby! He loves riding the 4wheeler with Jeremiah and Koa. He loves Koa, he's full of smiles for Koa. Its awesome. Koa plays a game with Eli now that Eli can crawl. Koa runs from couch to couch and Eli chases him.
Us-
Well Jeremiah and I got gym memberships. So we have been at the gym a lot lately between working out and taking the boys swimming. Koa and Eli love the water. Eli last about an hour and half and Koa he can live there if we let him. We have to beg him to leave the pool. But Koa and Eli also love the Daycare there too. Which is nice and works out for us.
Jeremiah is doing good at work.
I started babysitting 3 days a week. A 2year old and 11 month old. It keeps me busy and the boys really enjoys the kids that I watch.
We are getting ready for the Holidays cant wait!
Thank you!
Love
Jeremiah, Courtnie, Koa and Eli Bachert
