Passing Skills

Posted on by Erica

Conversation with Laura on the way home from daycare:

  • Andy:  What did you do on the gymnastics bus today?
  • Laura:  We played Soccer!  First, I practiced kicking and then I worked on my passing skills.

Andy and I look at each other and both say “passing skills?”  Then proceed to laugh!  Where does she get this stuff?

“Those” Jeans

Posted on by Erica

So this morning while getting ready, I decided to try on “those” jeans.  You know those jeans I’m talking about.  The ones that we buy just a little too small with the intention of losing enough weight to wear them….but then you never quite do lose that weight?

Well, this morning “those” jeans FIT!  I got them on and buttoned!  Yes, they are still tight, but I wore them today because I could!  Little victories…..little victories…..

John

I was watching John for a few minutes tonight and it struck me how much he’s changed in just a few short months.  He’s counting (now and then), pointing out letters and numbers, and starting to really answer questions.  He’s starting to mimic some of the things Laura says like using the word, “actually.”  I’m excited, yet sad!  Where has the time gone?

Easter!

Posted on by Erica

What a busy, but really fun Easter!  The day started out at Easter Sunrise Service.  It was such a beautiful morning for church outside.  John talked through most of the service, but both kids were really good.  Next up was breakfast at Bob Evans and then home about 8:30 am to see if the Easter Bunny had stopped by.  Sure enough the Easter Bunny (Jenna and Brent!) had hidden all our eggs both indoors and out and made sure that the kids’ Easter Baskets were ready to go!  Both kids were really excited and had an excellent time hunting for eggs and tearing through their Easter Baskets.

The kids found Easter eggs in some interesting places!

John rides his new Tigger bike for the first time!

Laura, decked out in full protection gear, rides her bike for the first time!

After that, it was some relaxation time followed by cooking because we had the Henderson Family and Jeremy over for a tasty ham dinner!  Now, it’s just time to relax and try to stay out of “food coma.”  I think it might be a losing battle!  🙂
