New Camera!!

We finally broke down and got a GOOD camera! I'm so excited! Get ready for lots of pictures as I'm learning how to adjust things like shutter speed and ISO.



Please ignore the mess of a living room and look at the happy boy!!

Guess what we had for supper!


Why yes that is a bottle in his mouth and yes he is 15 months old! We are picking our battles!

Life...

I thought I'd take a moment to talk about what was new with each of the kids. I want to keep a better record of what is going on with them than I have been. Sometimes life can be too busy to remember to write it all down.

Regan is doing pretty good in school. He can tell us 17 different letters knows the numbers 0-10 on paper, knows all the shapes and colors. He can read us very simple sentences. His speech is still improving but it still very delayed. He loves PE and will come home and demonstrate jumping jacks and arm circles. He is very interested in basketball so we are guessing that he plays alot at school. My one concern is that he wants to stand under the goal and watch the ball come through the hoop! His teacher and aide tell us about how sweet he is, I would like to see more of that at home! He can be too aggressive with Kollyn and wants to be the boss of him. He loves his Karly and she is the first thing he says in the mornings. Potty training is still a work in progress. He does really well for a few weeks and then we go right back. He is going to play ball again this year. We hope that it is better than last year. My one concern is him getting sick out in the weather. Last year with it still being cold and wet he got sick and it turned into pneumonia. We hope that he "gets" it a little more this year since we have been working with him but who knows what will happen. Regan usually does exactly what Regan wants even if we don't agree with him!!


Kollyn, oh sweet goodness! This boy is a mess!! He finally has five teeth and weighs about 24pounds. His favorite things to do right now are push his sisters baby doll stroller around and cause a mess. I tell everyone that he is my tornado and it fits him so well. He loves cows and dogs! He eats EVERYTHING and that is a wonderful thing!! He is just a joy to watch and play with. He is interested in cooking and taking his sisters paci! He can count to three and knows stars and hearts. He knows the letter K and G. He uses 30 words and some two and three word phrases. He amazes us every day with new words and tricks. He loves his blankie and wants to hold it when he goes to bed. He is a homebody and loves his bed!! He calls Karly "get up" and sometimes Karkey!

My Karly! She is 4months old now!! Can you believe it!! She weighs right at 13 lbs! She is such a girly girl already! She doesn't want to be played with too rough and is quick to let us know when she doesn't like something. She rolls both ways and is working on sitting up. She sleeps all night and has for about 2 months. She drools a lot. She likes snuggling and being swaddled at nap and bed times. She is great in the car unless we are in the car rider line waiting on Regan and then she is MAD! She is her mommy's dream come true!!
