Kids May 2011

Ashley--almost 8
She is excited about finishing up second grade and summer vacation! She's most excited about her 8th birthday! We are planning a backyard penguin-themed party, since she loves all things penguin. She's looking forward to getting baptized this summer. She is really responsible and loves being treated more grown up, and she gets to get her ears pierced on her birthday. Her favorite subjects in school are science and art and her favorite color is light blue.

Paige-6 1/2
Paige is a really good girl. She loves to help me and she loves learning new things. She is a great reader and loves reading stories to anyone who will listen. Her favorite subjects are math and music and her favorite color is still pink pink pink. She says really funny things and gets along well with most people.

Michael-3 1/2
Michael is a really sweet boy. He loves Douglas to death and is thrilled when Douglas interacts with him. He is excited to start preschool in the fall. When he grows up, he wants to be a Daddy. The other day, I asked him what else he wanted to be--a fireman, a teacher, a doctor??? No, he said, I be a Daddy and.....a Mommy! His favorite color is green and he loves anything Star Wars. He carries his "light saver" around and likes to "slice" people!

Douglas--8 months
Douglas is a really content, happy baby. He loves being held, and, as the 4th baby, has learned to fall asleep most anywhere. He fell asleep in the middle of the loudest fireworks display I've ever heard last night, and in the pool today (while I was holding him!). He's doing the army-man crawl now, sits up well, and eats lots of food. He'll eat anything the rest of us are eating, but does not love baby food. He loves being held by Ashley and being entertained by Paige and Michael. He's sleeping from about 8pm to about 7am most days.
