I can’t believe you’re 5. We celebrated with a repeat of your third birthday. A bouncy house with all your friends from school. That is one of the best $100.00 your Mom and I have ever spent. You and your friends loved it. I could tell by your sweaty head and the smile on your face.
Happy 2010
i just had to write about your latest comment. so the the scene is you are playing with the new sizzlin’ grill toy that you received from mom and dad for Christmas. mom’s making pancakes, i’m writing in tyler’s journal, and tyler is using the toy leaf blower to blow a plastic ball around the house. as i stop to comment on how hard you and your brother are working you respond with oh well there’s lots of work to do in the new year.
you are no doubt the son of kelly mcmurray and chris st.cyr. happy new year jack. work hard. play hard. rest hard.
not feeling well
today is the annual Christmas party at janelle’s and you’ve been sick since yesterday afternoon. around 2:30pm on Friday janelle called to say you were sick and needed to come home. no big deal. you came home and rested on the couch while watching finding nemo. at dinner you seemed like your old self. during the night you got sick again. at the moment you’re lying on he couch trying not to be bothered by Tyler. we’ll have to see if you feel up to going to the Christmas party. something tells me not even nine reindeer could keep you from that party.
vocabulary
some of the latest new words that you’ve been working on at school are temperature, similar, and irresistible. not only can you pronounce these words but you understand the definitions. awesome job. at age four you are such a good communicator. most adults are amazed that you can hold a conversation with them. just the other day you purchased a phonics set of books at the local barnes and noble.
summer vacation 2009
we had a great time on the summer vacation. some of the highlights for you were picking blueberries with gramps, exploring all the rides at storyland, and playing at the local playground in naples. you had so much fun playing with the big kids at the playground and at the family reunion. we stayed at rod ad cheryl tibbets house in their mother-in-law apartment.
