:: LIFE ::

Life is SO much fun these days!!! Our house is full of joy and our kids are doing fabulously. Lil P is growing by leaps and bounds daily and Squirt is a riot. He learned to crawl "army style" about two weeks ago, so needless to say our days of sitting still are quickly escaping us. Lil P is still very much in love with her little brother and stays close to him...sometimes a little too close:)

The Knight is doing great, as always! He's addicted to playing indoor soccer and even talked me into playing paintball with several friends last weekend. I must admit, paintball was SO much fun!!! I'm committed to playing again, but only after my bumps and bruises all heal.

This past Sunday we took the kids shopping for shoes at Stride Rite and then took a detour to the park for a hour or so of play time. Yes, there are tons of pictures, but I just couldn't resist. It's wild to sit back and think about where the last 2 1/2 years have gone. I no longer have a little baby girl or a little baby boy...both are growing up so quickly, which is very rewarding and emotional at the same time.

Well, Im signing off for now...in hopes of more pictures to post very soon!!!

Love,

Unchartered Waters

I must admit, I'm wading in unchartered waters! Since becoming hooked on Facebook, I have sadly not gone one day without checking friends' statuses, uploading tons of pictures of the wee ones and posting the great and small details of my little life. What was I thinking when I logged off four days ago?! 40 days?! Was I really going to be able to go without FaceBook for 40 days?! Although it hasn't been easy thus far, it's a tiny sacrifice compared to the numerous sacrifices Jesus made for all of us! I am immensely appreciative to all my FB friends that cringed at the thought of going 40 days without pictures of Lil P and Squirt. Not to worry my dear friends, I present...

These two wee ones are ADDICTED to one another!!! They are both such sweet spirits and deeply love one another as much as a 2 1/2 yr old and 8 month old can. Lil P loves reading to Squirt, making him laugh and giving him hug, after hug, after hug.

Lil P is a fantastic little girl!! She's loving and energetic, polite but loud, silly and rambunctious!! She is such an enduring little girl, with a heart of gold. She'll begin 3K at a local Catholic elementary school in the Fall...yes, she's almost THREE YEARS OLD. Where have the past years gone?! She's currently taking Kindermusik and will start gymnastics this Summer. The Knight and I keep this sweet little princess busy...or is she the one keeping us busy?!
Have you ever thought eating green beans could be fun? If not, let Lil P show you how it's done...

Squirt on the other hand is a rough and tough near 8 month old (you have to be when there's a big sister near by). Squirt is sitting up like a little man, but making no attempt to move ANYWHERE! He's got his big sister and his best pal O to take care of him. Squirt is close to 21 lbs and is eating Stage 2 foods. He has three teeth, and a few more are making attempts to pop out in the upper gum. He's extremely laid back (similar to The Knight) unless he's hungry or tired (like his Nana). He has the chunkiest cheeks, cheeks that you could just squeeze for days!

Squirt loves to sit on a blanket and play with his toys either independently or along side Lil P. While visiting Nana and G'diddy last weekend, Squirt began to drink out of a sippy cup. He seems to grab ahold of new things, and "runs" with them...unless of course it calls for him to exert alot of energy...he's just not having that:)

The Knight and I are doing really well! Both working alot of hours each week, but making it all work. The Knight's doing fantastic in his MBA program, earning all A's thus far. We are extremely proud of what we've become as husband and wife over the past 4 years and 4 months and we anxiously await what is in store for our little family. We are both complete SUCKERS for our little ones and seem to love them more and more with each passing day.
Well, dinner calls...so I must run, but I promise not to take 2 1/2 months to update you all.
Love!
