Family Update

Sorry it has been awhile... we have been very busy! So here is a short update...

Mommy: Well I am officially signed up for the ING 1/2 marathon... taking place a week from Sunday. Am I ready? that is to be determined! But hey it will be fun. right? and it's daddy day care in the morning:)

The Boy: It is official... we have signed him up for soccer this spring. His first practice is this Thursday which will be a hoot. But he is going to be playing with some friends from school and he is very excited. We actually had to take out a calendar so that he could count down the days till practice. I think he is just excited to wear the shoes and take the new soccer ball. Oh yea and I can't forget his friends Jackson and Elise who are also on the team. " Little Dragons"
I took the kids to the library last week and normally I go to the picture book section and pick but this week I checked out the early reader books. I let him pick out the books he wanted and we have been reading them all week... and he is starting to recognize some of the words... I also got a chapter book this week that my mom sent...The Mercy Watson series ( so cute) ( thanks Becky for the idea!) He loved it and at first I thought he was just interested in the pictures but after some questioning he was actually comprehending what I was reading to him. So we are going to check out some other series at the library this week... Magic Tree house, Geronimo Stilton.
As you can see we have been busy!

OK- They are busy trying to do all the things their brother does... including some of those things I don't want any of them doing. Last week I stepped out of the dinning room to empty the dishwasher, which I can not do while they are roaming around because they climb in. When I returned to the dinning room O was standing on the table swinging the chandelier. Can't wait to see what she is like in her college years!
K although we think she is the calm one... she seems to come out of her shell when O is not around...This week K has been getting up after O is sound asleep and it is her time to shine and get as much attention as she wants... bad habit for us but it is nice to be able to spend some special time with just her.

Well that is what is going on more later in the week.
