Whew! It has taken a while to get back here! Things have been going well for us. Ethan went through a bit of a time where he did not want to go to preschool and he literally had to be dragged kicking and screaming to the bus every morning. Thankfully he is past that now. Emma has a birthday party comming up and she has a list of about 20 people that she wants to invite. We are trying to narrow it down a bit. She is enjoying kindergarten and is beginning to learn about reading. She is excited about it. Joseph has now gotten tall enough to unlock and open the front door. We are still trying to figure out what to do about that. Thankfully he seems content most of the time to stay on the block. We have had a couple scares where he has run around the corner. The recent problem has been that there are a couple of stray kittens in the neighborhood now that the kids adore. Ethan and Joseph are constantly letting them in the house. Not that Laura mids too much..., but we can't have a cat. And that's final. Period.
Abby has started getting really chubby (that is in comparision to our other kids. Nobody compares to Chad at 2 months). She has started to smile some. Now we all work hard in hopes of getting a glimpse of a smile. Neil told us his baby smiles like crazy all the time. We are obviously jealous.
Okay pictures. A moment of bravery on my part. Yes, Ethan really did cut my hair, and not too bad a job he did of it either. Ethan and Joseph made a cake. The sprinkles mostly ended up in their mouths, but, that's okay. Emma and Joseph playing in the mud, and Abby about 3 weeks ago. Abby had a bump on her nose and head from when Joseph got into the room and dragged her off the bed and dumped her face down on the bathroom floor. We were none too happy. Laura went into shock. It was pretty scary because she was so tiny. We will add another post so that we can show more pictures.
