We had a fun start to the new year! For the first week of January, we have been unseasonably warm in Texas. The girls have played outside every day...oh how I LOVE our backyard. Their little creative minds can spend hours turning our back yard into a whole little town. They ride their Jeep from the bank to school, to the doctors office, to church. We've also enjoyed a few visits to the parks with friends to soak up the nice weather before the freeze hits next week. Yeah for Walker sleeping a little more regularly and going a little longer at night. It makes for a happier Mommy!
Ella is always the
chaffeur but Audrey doesn't seem to mind!
Ella- I am starting to realize that she really is a little girl and not a toddler anymore. Her vocabulary and choice of words is so grown up and she is so curious about everything. I spent an entire car ride this week trying to explain how the earth goes around the sun and the moon goes around the earth, while questioning exactly if my recollection of science class was accurate. She has become so into reading "chapter books" and John and her work every night on going through all the library books we check out each week. She is so thoughtful and loving with Walker. It is wonderful to see the special and unique bond they have. Her creativity amazes me and I am so grateful I have kiddos who would much rather pretend they at school, Cinderella's ball, or the doctor's office, than watch TV!
In mid-air after knocking down all but one pin on New Years!
Audrey- Oh this child is just so stinkin' cute. She could care less about any type of order, structure or rules, but she's got a laugh and a smile that will melt your heart. This week, I found her laying on the rug in the kitchen just giggling (see below). She's so silly and is Ella's constant side-kick, repeating every single word even if she doesn't know what it means.
Walker - We are finally getting out of the fussy stage we were having with him. He is awake a lot more now, which makes things harder, but it is so fun to have him as part of the action now. Oh how he loves his sisters despite the constant attention he receives while he is trying to eat, sleep, etc. John and I always say one day he is going to punch their lights out for all this! He is smiling and laughing so much --Such a happy little boy! 
John &
Angi - We wish for more sleep in 2011! It seems like someone is always having a bad dream, has to go to the bathroom, or tummy hurts in the middle of the night...and it is not a 2 month old that is complaining. We dream of Hawaii, one day! :)
