A few snapshots


Enjoy a few snapshots of the kids taken over the last few weeks…

Sometimes brother and sister can sit peacefully together.  Abby is quickly learning all kinds of new words and she now recognizes and says, “Wall-E,” which happens to be the movie they are watching here.  Of course the ‘w’ is left off and it comes out more like “All-E!” but we know what she means. 

Have no doubt this amount of calm lasts for minutes, sometimes only seconds, and then deteriorates into screaming and crying between them.  They just can’t leave each other alone!

Gavin has chores now and gets an allowance every week.  He is responsible for feeding the dog and cat in the morning.  He gets extra money for helping out around the house.  For instance, Gav and I cut down a gigantic bush we have on the side of the house.  He collected branches and put them in a pile for me.  He also raked the leaves that fell off during the trimming process and helped put stuff into the lawn bags.  What a great helper!

Sleeping beauty!  Abigail was all worn out when we got home from running errands the other day.  She was sound asleep in the car, barely stirred when I carried her in, and she snoozed right through lunch prep.  She still loves snoozing with her hands behind her head. 

Stay tuned for pictures from the pumpkin farm, family day at preschool, and Grandma and Deanna’s visit!
