Let the record show...

-favorite foods... hotdogs, any fruit, macaroni and cheese
-sleeping 7:30pm-7:30am... still taking 2 naps a day, but starting to maybe move towards 1
-drinking whole milk from sippy cups
-friends that we play with a lot... Jake Wiggs, Hudson & Will Reppard, & Avery & Miles Rhoden
-favorite things to do are going to the park, helping load the dishwasher, playing hide and go seek, reading books, dancing to any kind of music, and climbing up the stairs
-tooth count... Neveah=6, Max=4 with 2 coming through
-really working on getting them to say please... Ill let you know when we are successful

Max is talking all the time... he has invented a language that sounds a little bit like a gobble that he repeats all day long. He has the ability to walk, yet chooses not to most of the time. Instead, he walks on his knees and looks like a Russian dancer. Max can tell you what the sheep, cow, lizard, turkey, and camel say. He can also tell you where his fingers and nose are. One of his new favorite past times is yanking on Neveah's shirt as she passes him by so she falls down. He is going through a little bit of a clingy stage when we are leaving, but calms down pretty quickly once we are gone. He cracks me up all the time because his face is so expressive and also has the cutest giggle when you tickle his feet or dangle him upside down.

Neveah has mastered walking and now is borderline running around. She loves carrying around her finger puppets or any sock she can get her hands on. She laughs really hard at puppets and stuffed animals and then gives them big hugs. Neveah loves to read books, she will bring them to us to read and often sits by herself to read them as well. She can tell you what the lizard, camel, and sheep say as well as showing you where her ear, fingers, and nose are. She has the sweetest little cuddly personality and loves to blow kisses. She can get clingy when I am in the same room, but she just waves to me when I drop her off in the nursery at church. We are working on learning to not eat bark at the playground.

Why is Neveah crying you may ask? This was one of several times that out of nowhere she burst into tears... notice she is standing on her shoe lace and thinks that she is stuck, I had to rescue her every time!

Vacation?

So the past month has been really crazy for our family, John has been speaking all the time and we have just been going non stop. Went on the youth retreat... it was so great and the kids were all amazing. They threw us a surprise party on Saturday night and of course I was a mess. We are going to miss seeing all of them so much!

We decided to take a much needed vacation to John's parents house in Myrtle Beach. Well, day one of that vacation started with John getting the swine flu... we battled keeping his temp. down below 103 and then his crazy puking... The next day I got sick (not nearly as sick as him) so we sent our tride and true friends Brittany and Leslie home with the babies so they wouldnt get sick. We are all back, feverless, and recovering from the worst vacation ever! On the upside though, God really did protect me, Brit., Les, and the babies from getting the swine flu and John has healed much quicker than most, thank you to all of you who were praying for us! Also we felt so loved bc so many friends and family offered to come to our rescue in any way that they could... thanks everyone!

Here are a few retreat pics... none from vacation :(
