Pictures speak a thousand words...

Cutie Pies

We have had so much fun being outside lately. I have been trying to snap pictures when we are out and about to have something to remember our outings. Claire has always loved to swing, and it seems Micah enjoys it too. I can't get enough of my two cutie pies. They are so fun, silly, smiley, sometimes sassy, and the best of it all!

My loves...

As days go by....

I am amazed how quickly time goes by. Each day feels like we have something going on or somewhere to be. I can't imagine what it would be like to have older kids in school, sports, church, activities, etc. I will not take for granted the time I have now. Each day is a reminder to enjoy each moment because they go by so quickly. We have been involved with church, helping with curriculum, small group, a mom's group at our house, Chad trying to finish his master's degree and me substitute teaching here and there. That doesn't include our visits to the library for story time, walks to the park, fitting a run in here and there. (I am sure this is minimal for many people, but for us, it is keeping us busy!!)
So, that brings me to the most amazing husband, girl and boy I have ever known. Chad and I have run a couple of 5Ks together, and have a couple more coming up. I really enjoy running, especially because it gives me some QUIET, alone time! Chad is so supportive and encourages me with each new thing I accomplish, small as they are. (He's a REAL runner, as I like to call him) Our little tootsies are so much fun, growing so much each day, and learning things all the time. Here's a little update on them. Enjoy!
Little Miss:
*Big girl potty
*Talks a ton...I could write post after post of all the things she says. A recent funny one was when she wanted to say good-bye to the park. She leaned, waved and shouted "Bye park. I will see you later. I will text you on your phone!" Really?? She knows what texting is??
*Loves to take care of her babies, and her little brother
*Loves to walk around the block, go on wagon rides, play at the park, anything involving outside, she is game
*Dancing, dancing, dancing
*Trying on and changing her clothes a zillion times
*Angelina Ballerina

Boogie (as we proudly call him)
*Crawling
*2 Teeth have finally made their grand appearance
*Waving
*Says Dada, Mama, Hi, Bye and something like ba for ball
*Clapping
*Eats tons!
*LOVES his big sis. He has to think she is the best thing in the world. She can sure make him smile when she plays with him

Love them, so much! Thank you God for my family and letting me be home to be mommy. I am so grateful!
