Creative Kids

It is fun to watch the kids learn so much. They pick things up pretty well. They can count to ten and sometimes more. They do a decent job with the alphabet song, and they can even identify some letters. Some of the learning toys are really helping them a lot. They can sing some nursery rhymes all by themselves. Ella & Abby especially like 'Row, Row, Row Your Boat', 'Baa Baa Black Sheep', and 'Itsy Bitsy Spider'. They all like the VeggieTales song, too, and they ask us to help them sing it. Coloring is a newer favorite activity. A blank piece of paper is fine, but Thomas the Train, Dora, and Hello Kitty are also lots of fun to color. It is such a blessing that they enjoy reading their books and have fun learning in lots of different ways.

Lots of blocks

It's a Girl!

I see some of you have been guessing in the comments section. We found out just before Thanksgiving that it's a girl! Josh & Daddy are really outnumbered now. Mommy should have fun dressing up all her girls.

Merry Christmas!

We had a great Christmas week. The kids dressed up for church while Mommy & Daddy sang in the Christmas musical. We got up on Christmas Eve to open presents, and we had lots of fun playing with all the new toys. We like the vacuum cleaner, dress up shoes, books, and a Thomas train set. Then we drove to Grandma & Grandpa's house. We had fun visiting with them and Aunt Angie, Uncle Mike, Uncle Brian, and Great Grandma on Christmas day. Thank you for the dolls, trucks, and big train play-table!

Thanksgiving in Iowa

We had a good trip to Iowa to visit Grammy & Grandpa. It was good to spend time out there. Grandpa has been doing a good job with house renovations, and Grammy always puts together a good holiday meal. We celebrated both Thanksgiving and Christmas while we were there, so we brought some new toys home.

How Old Are You? Two!

Presents, cake, and family. What a way to spend your 2nd birthday!
