Family Update

How I love reading back through my blog!  I can tell I went back to full time because I have rarely blogged since then.  There is so much to say most of the time.

Miriam learned the macarena in kindergarten.  Actually what she learned was hey! Months of the year! They actually dance the macarena (minus the butt shaking) while singing each month.  Instead of hey! Macarena they sing hey! Months of the year!  I loved it.

Right now we are getting ready for valentines day.  She wants to make everyone a valentine like Pete the Cat, Valentines Day is cool.  She draws the hearts on her own and writes in the names.  She is beginning to read several words on her own and is more interested in what things say.

She is learning and changing into a big girl.  I know we only have a few years left before hanging out with mom and/or dad is no longer what she will want to do.  How can you possibly prepare for that?

Liam is an amazing two year old.  He finally hit some stages like saying no all the time, yelling no, hitting and spitting.  In all honesty he probably learned most of that from the way big sister treats him when she is mad at him.  Harder to stop the behavior for the two year old.

He is amazing though.  When he isn't all worked up and is treated nicely he is kind, he shares, and he listens.  He says tons of words.  I can't even keep up.  Sunday he saw a heart and told me "valentine".   He loves to play. Much to her chagrin, Liam wants to do everything Miriam does.  He will follow her exactly as long as she will stand it.  And maybe a little longer.

Nathan is almost three months old.  He is starting to round out and be awake more.  He smiles at people with big smiles.  He often plays with his tongue like he is trying to figure out what it is for.   He talks to me a little bit.   I've seen him staring at his hands recently trying to figure them out.

We were going to have his baby blessing last weekend, but a bunch of snow in the tri cities put that off.  

Bill is back to fighting.  He was asked to be in the queens guard so he has been trying to figure out ways to be at many events.  He has some nice armor he worked really hard on.  He also has a gaming group going on omce a month in the Tri Cities.

And that is our update. Yay family!
