Day Ninety Two.

Here is their playroom....















Here is what they choose to play with!

Day Ninety One.

16 pounds of feisty little spunk. She looks too tiny to be standing let alone walking...I give her another 6 weeks before she is running!

Day Ninety.

You know there are little boys in the house when the dishwasher looks like this!

Day Eighty Nine.

Happy Easter!

Day Eighty Eight.

Happy Easter!

Day Eight Seven.

Our Awesome five year old!
Ben is five and a HALF to more precise. Which is what he prefers. He is very exact and particular and likes things to be done right. He tries very hard to do well in everything he does (unless he is in a "mood" and then...watch out!). He is funny and kind and very sweet. He has a great sense of humor and an interest in magic tricks, jokes, dancing and his next meal (of which there are at least  a day for him! these boys love to eat!). Ben is a good brother and likes to help Jake with whatever he can, and will care for Ella like a seasoned brother can. He is very bright and asks questions I have to research the answers to frequently! He is reading well now and can pick up most of children' books and read them. Ben participates in 3 preschool programs, a midweek church program, an arts and crafts club and a science club. He is looking forward to playing soccer soon. Ben's favorite things (according to him...today...) are;
favorite meal- salmon
favorite dessert- coconut ice cream
favorite colour- the rainbow
what are your favorite things to do- eat, get stickers and go to birthday parties.
favorite toy- superero's
favorite book-  a new one from the library.
What kind of job would you have when you are older- I still don't know for sure but I think maybe a rocket scientist (he is into "orbital mechanics right now that he is learning about with Jon....I can't keep up).
If you were an animal what would you be? A Tarantula... because they are scary!
If you were a superhero what would your power be? I am a super hero; Ben-N and I have every power there is! I have 2 brains, I can run super fast, faster than the Flash and I can shoot things and I can fly.

Day Eighty Six.

9 Months in....9 months out!!!!

1- Ella is standing on her own now....any day now those first steps will come!***I admittedly wrote this post a day early. That afternoon...she took her first steps! One day shy of nine months old!
2- She loves to laugh and finds her brothers to be the funniest people!
3- She enjoys wrestling with the boys.
4-She is tough physically but she can easily get her feelings hurt.
5-If she sees another child crying, the bottom lip will pop out and she will cry too.
6- she claps when we say "yaaaaaa"
7- She says "Mama and Dada" to us and calls us from her crib when she wakes up.
8- She is sleeping very well now, 12 hours at night and 3 hours every afternoon.
9- She eats everything! She prefers what we are eating to baby food.

She is absolutely the most precious little girl. She is so sweet but so very feisty as well. We love you so much Elizabeth!
