New Pictures

Hello All,

Our new photos show you how our family is growing. Samuel is such an amazing kid! Ashley and I are always looking at each other in amazement and wondering, "did you see that? when did he start doing that?" Well, today he blew me away. He watched Little Einsteins today (which I am limiting!), and it was so amazing. He is singing the classical music tunes and CONDUCTING MUSIC! One of the characters is a conductor and that's probably where he gets it, but it is totally hilarious and so heartwarming. He does this sawing motion in time with the music he's humming, and he is so proud when we applaud. The best thing is that Alabaster is now clapping as well, so he is doubly proud when she claps for him. :) You'll see in the video where he is "ready for church" that he is just the funniest boy with Bob the Tomato slippers I got at a local consignment sale. He also started saying this week "I love Baby Sit-ter". And he does! He crawls around on the floor with her, and they laugh it up as they collide and crawl! It's so awesome.

She is now very adept at maneuvering the stairs. She heads for the stairs any time your back is turned. She was only able to climb up the stairs, but I taught her to go down the stairs like my mom taught Samuel at the Waxleaf Green house...although I think he picked it up faster...*shrug*

For now, I've got to run. But take a look at the pictures from our friend Tony's visit. I've decided to adopt Tony into our family as Uncle Tony for my side of the family. :) He is totally the same and not the same Tony whom we knew in Huntsville...always challenging my ways of thinking about things. But I have to say that he was definitely sent to us (Ashley and me) from God even now and way back when. I'll never see things in the same way again...I think he would be proud of that. :)

Love,
K
