June

This one is for Casey......and everyone else who eagerly anticipates and patiently waits for these updates which are so few and far between!

I feel like I'm constantly trying to get a decent picture of all three kids at the same time.....but it is SO hard! We have a newsletter coming up, so Sunday I was taking pictures after church. This is the best I came up with. : ) If only I knew how to photoshop!

Here's a previous attempt.


Here's Noah building a Marble Works creation.

He has such a look of concentration!

Noah is officially all signed up for preschool next year. I can't believe it's time for that! I think Abby's going to feel lost on the days he is away from us. We took Noah in for a little tour last week, and he was completely in awe. He kept walking around the room getting excited about every detail!
Luke bought him a trenching shovel to take to the beach. Noah loves to dig in the sand!



Here's little Abby. She's starting to learn her letters. I haven't been nearly as diligent in teaching Abby as I was Noah. But better late than never, I guess!



Abby is a little diva one day and the next day she's all tomboy. Here the kids dug a mudhole in the backyard.
Abby's latest craze is playing dress up. She has a box of little dresses, gloves, purses, jewelry and......shoes. Abby has always been a shoe thief. It doesn't matter where we are -- if she sees and empty pair of shoes, she'll put them on. I don't know how many times I've had to pull a strangers shoes off her feet at the beach. So when it comes to playing dress up, it's all about the shoes for Abby.


Abby is a great sister. She loves Julia very much. If Julia's ever crying, Abby will come and tell me over and over until I pick her up. She loves to "help" me any way she can.



Little Julia is getting sweeter every day. She doesn't fuss like she used to. Actually, she's quite content now. She cut her bottom two front teeth.


She has "favorite" toys. A little blue ball with holes all over it and some plastic keys. She's so close to being able to sit up on her own.


Here's how she sucks her fingers. Both Noah and Abby were thumb suckers, but Julia developed her own style. She's become very good at putting herself to sleep -- thanks to this finger sucking!


She's really enjoyed her jumper. She spends a lot of time here! We started giving her cereal. She wasn't thrilled in the beginning, but over the last week, she's really gotten the hang of it!



Thanks to everyone for asking about our kids. They bring us an immense about of joy -- we're happy to share them with you!
