Two weeks & an update...

It's hard to believe our little guy has been with us for two weeks! It is so fun getting to know him as he adds his own little personality to our family. He gets the hiccups a lot, is waking up 3 times each night and he has a dimple in his right cheek that kills me every time I see it! I can hardly wait until he smiles for real and I can see it more often. He's doing great and is oh so sweet!


Sophie lost her front tooth a few weeks ago and instantly looks and acts older now. She's in love with her little brother and we've found letting her hold him is a good reward when we are trying to get her to do something. She is liking 2nd grade and although she is NOT a morning person she is excited for school every day... getting her up and ready on time is the hard part!
Nora also loves Wes and holding him and cuddling him. She is also loving kindergarten! Every morning she bounces out of bed with a smile and asks if it is a school day. And each day she is sad when she doesn't have homework to do! Her teacher talked to me after school last week and told me Nora is the ideal student and is doing great. I'm so happy she is loving school!

Nora also learned to ride her bike without training wheels! I helped her one day when I was a week overdue and that turned out to be a bad idea when I pulled something and had to lay on the grass for half an hour before I could move again! So Brian helped her one day last week and the next day she just hopped on her bike and started riding, It is so cute to watch her and she is thrilled about her new skill.
Miles is a little indifferent to Wesley...which is better than having him NOT like him. He has brought him a car or train to play with and occasionally wants Wesley to watch him do something. I think it is the start of a great relationship!

Thanks for the update on the kiddos! They are all so adorable. I really miss you all. That Wes is growing and changing so much. I bet Miles is going to be a great big brother, I bet he will even share his cars and trains, at some point! The shot of Nora with her helmet is just too cute! Tell her I am so proud of her! She is a fast learner. The pic of Soph must be for me, I love it! Kisses to you all.

Welsey looks a lot like Miles don't you think? Such a cute little bunch of kiddos you've got there. I really would've liked to see you out helping Nora learn to ride her bike being overdue - what a good mother you are! It doesn't surprise me at all that your girls are good little helpers as well!
