Update on the kiddos

Braden has been a little under the weather lately. He stayed home from preschool yesterday, but I think he will be able to go tomorrow. He has a small fever and has lost his appetite. That is how I know Braden is not feeling well, he pushes away cereal or a pb&j. Despite his recent virus, he is doing really well. He hasn't sat in time-out in a long time and is starting to open up to his teachers at school. He sings lots of songs and it getting better at identifying letters in the alphabet. Now that the weather is just beautiful here, we are outside all the time. Braden is getting better at riding his tricycle on his own and likes to play soccer and baseball! He is pretty good at kicking the ball around.

Reese has not caught whatever Braden has and she has been so patient with him. (He is a little cranky lately.) She is trying to sing the ABCs and count with us. It is really cute. She babbles to us ALL the time, but you can understand a few words like 'ball', 'down', 'no' and 'bumble bee'. (She is going to be a bumble bee for Halloween and Braden wants to be a cow.) She tries to do the 'itsy bitsy spider' with her fingers when I sing it and she blows kisses like a champ! Reese is also doing 100 times better when I drop her off at the gym daycare. She isn't crying anymore and has recently walked right in and started playing. No tears!


Well, thanks for checking in with us! I hope you enjoy the slide show I put together.

Piggie Tails!

They look so cute. And the lip -- I know which side of the family that comes from!

Big brother -- so cool and collected. I love all the pictures. And holy smokes Elizabeth, you are a very pretty woman!

Much love to everyone,
