Madie

Yes, that's Madeleine wear her "fabulous thrift store find" swim vest(which we haven't used yet to go swimming) Joshua hat and big Sissy's play money in her hand. She playing some sort of game, a work/house game. We moved the girls into 1 room and the boys into another. The girls have already started playing house, bitten finger baby dolls and all! The boys haven't really bonded yet, Caleb is enjoying watching David build in the garage. Which by the way we finally cleaned up for the like zillionth time! and last but not least, I think David and I should win an award for being able to re arrange a 3 bedroom house in SO many different ways! We've been here 4 years and we still can find new ways to arrange it!

10 things Thursday

1. Joshua holds the phone up to his ear and pretends to talk on it.

2. I just got our school transcript-its the first one for Caleb. He completed 180 days in Kindergarten!

3. Madie has her finger and toe nails painted red and LOVES them.

4. Elizabeth taught Joshua how to crawl the right way (not army crawl) all they do each night is chase each other around the house, its so precious.

5. Caleb is enthralled with Lego Batman, its all he talks about. Thanks Mr. Danny for getting it for us! (Its a game we play on the Wii, and for Caleb is real!)

6. I'm trying to enjoy my last two weeks of summer vacation before I start back teaching ballet in the evenings, it just goes so fast.

7. David should have a new 4day work week starting in August which will be wonderful for all of us.

8. Joshua is trying to walk, you can tell he wants to really bad but just ends up lunging forward and falling! I bet he will be walking by his birthday in September.

9. Joshua is also refusing to allow me to wean him. And still not sleeping through the night.

10. All in all we're good, a lot is happening with Refuge so we are keeping busy. just wanted to give everyone an update. Love to all!

Caleb's First Poem

Future Musician?

Joshua has been exploring much, much more lately. He loves to pull up and stand on any thing you can reach and I've even caught him balancing on his own. Recently he found he can reach the piano.

He makes a wonderful melody of music.....

perhaps he too will be a musician? (classical one hopefully, so the long tuxedo pants will hide his chubby baby legs!)

I just like you Mommy

Yes, that's Madie wearing her baby in her "pouch" just like I wear Joshua. I made her a pouch out of my scarf after watching her try to use her shirt as one. Its so neat to see your kids act like you. And rather funny too....last night I walk into the living room to find Madie, shirt up, nursing her baby. Of course this was one of her many babies she has bitten the fingers and toes off of. I guess she was trying to make up for her violent behavior by being extra motherly!
