Update

We made a visit to St. Augustine again and really enjoyed ourselves. Here are pictures of the kids playing mini putt.


Luke got caught in the bushes. It was very funny to Mommy who captured the moment. He was quite worried, however, and asked for help after shaking the bush a few times!

Above... Luke's first typed message.

Life sure has been changing. Luke is now singing songs... about wanting more cookies and being told, "no." It's been fun.

Luke's favorite pass time is playing swords, though he doesn't have a sword. He has been creative and uses straws, sticks, pencils, most anything that is thin and long... you will find him swinging at people. He is thrilled to pieces if someone will join him and pretend to sword fight! One little boy joined him at a cafe one afternoon and it was pretty hard to get them interested in anything else. They were upset when the straws were taken away. Who knew these objects has so many purposes!

Luke and Emily LOVE to play chase. They are generally observed giggling the entire time while running in circles around the house.

We've been doing a lot of painting lately, and Luke likes to get in on the action. He pretends to roll the kitchen floor now that Daddy gave him a roller and new pad. It's really cute.

Emily has been making a lot of crafts lately. Her specialty has been cards. She made her dear friend, Ethan, a huge birthday card which contained many hearts on it (because she loves him so much). She also made Mommy and Daddy a heart card which contained multiple layers of cut out hearts. It was very nice (and quite impressive).

Emily has been practicing her recital dance. It's so pleasant to see her dancing around the house. She has grace in her steps!
