The Children

Our firstborn is now three and a half years old.  He is very active and wants to be outside all the time.  The neighbor kids have taken a huge interest in him and his sister and ring our doorbell daily to see if Adam can play.  Adorable.

Here is our handsome boy!  He's sitting on the counter getting ready to feed Gill, his fish.

Ugh, I love this boy.  We have such fun together.  My favorite thing is when we cook together.  He is so curious and enthusiastic. He has also become quite the reader - both on his own and with Mama and Daddy.  We got him some "Bob Books" on the recommendation of our librarian and he is able to read them aloud all by himself.  He is a great hiker and still likes trains, diggers, and fire trucks.  He loves people and thrives on play and cuddles - SO endearing.  People are drawn to him

The girl is sixteen months old and has developed her own sweet and spicy personality.  She loves Mama and Daddy, but is also very social.  She waves and blows kisses to everyone.

Here she is playing with her friend Mason.  We are so sad that Mason is moving away this week, but we hope to reunite them in the future and continue their budding romance.

She went from having two teeth to six in the period of a week.  It wasn't the best week of her life, but she took it surprisingly well.  It is amazing to me how she mimics everything that Adam does and catches on to things so quickly.  She loves life.

Her favorite food is pizza and her favorite song is "The Wheels on the Bus."  She likes playing outside, but doesn't love feeling the grass on her legs and prefers to stay at the water table on the deck splashing around.  She says da da, cat, dog, hi, and up, and she points to all the people in her family.  She is such a sweet girl and we are all quite smitten with her.

Just wanted to share some photos of my two loves!
