Tess and Sloane!

These two have my heart. 

Sloanie 

Tesses 

My life would be far less complicated with out them and have a lot less love in it. You sweet girls have changed my life.

Sloane and Tess - 19 months

Look at these growing girls!

Their sweet 18 month old obedience is disappearing. It's not gone all the way but I see it less and less. 

I love hearing: I love you, thank you, more water please, and whines when they don't get what they want. 

They really are so much fun. Meal times are starting to become more of a struggle but over all they are still pretty good eaters. 

They still love to dance and sing. They enjoy puzzles more and more and are getting better at putting them together. 

Sloane loves running around without a diaper on...she gets a diaper freedom giddiness. It's so funny.

Tess loves babies right now. Real or stuffed bears they are her babies she loves to cuddle. 

Sloane and Tess - 18 months old

The 18 month mile marker has finally been met! Nursery time!!! 

Sloane is talking up a storm. She says: mom, dad, okay, thank you and all done. 

Tess is always talking but we don't always know what exactly she is saying. We recognize: mom, dad, thank you, Sloane, and please. 

Both girls are practicing running, which is funny to watch. 

They are starting to have opinions about food which isn't fun for mom. 

Tess and Sloane are happy babies and are a treat to live with. 

Ava - 6 years old

I love this Ava girl! She loves crafts and anything to do with drawing, coloring, cutting and gluing. Her drawing skills are greatly improved and now all her people have clothes, hair and beautiful faces. 

She is reading and writing all over the place. All we need now is for her to enjoy it. She knows all the sounds of the letters and is working on blends and sight words like "the".

She is getting better at writing numbers and not flipping them. Her favorite number to write is 8. It's a fun number to write. 

Ava is a great big sister. She's learning when it's ok to tease and when to be a helper. She is sweet to help her little sisters whenever they are struggling with something. 

Ava is an amazing swimmer. She is getting really good with her free-style stroke and rolling over to take a breath. 

She loves to ride her bike without training wheels (learned this in the spring), ride a scooter and pull the garbage can down the driveway. 

Ava learned to tie her shoe this summer and can even do a double knot on her shoes and tie a pretty front bow on her church dress. 

Can't imagine a world without her. 

Love you Ava
