100th Post

Wow, this is my 100th post. It is hard to believe I have been blogging that long! We haven't had much going on over here, just life. But it has been a couple weeks since I posted and I know there are a few of you who check this daily for pictures of the kiddos, so I thought I'd better get some new pictures up here.

This is what you get when you ask a 2 1/2 year old to smile.

In front of mommy's garden. Ethan loves to help me water every day.

My Gerber daisies. I know, not the kiddos, but I thought the picture turned out pretty cool and I'm just excited that these flowers are still alive after this winter.

This is how Morgan plays with her babies. She loves to chew on their extremities and heads.
Below is the series of photos I took this week as I was taking Morgan's week 36 picture. 36 weeks already, hard to believe!




Mission accomplished: Card in the mouth.
Morgan grabs anything and everything now and if it makes it in her hands it will make it to her mouth. She is a determined little girl and a noisy one too. I'm in trouble when she starts walking. Ethan and Morgan are having more fun playing together. Ethan really loves his little sister and can't wait until she can wrestle with him.
Before I finish this post I have an Ethan story for you.
Today we were walking up the driveway after getting the mail and Ethan saw a snail. Our conversation when like this:
E: "A snail, should I smash him?"
M: "No, just leave him, he's ok there."
E: Smashes the snail with his foot and then bends down to investigate. "Oh no, I smashed God's creature."
M: "Yeah, you did"
E: "Oh, that's sad. God is sad. I'm sorry. I'm sorry God for smashing your creature"
It is amazing to me to listen to his train of thought, and believe me I think he speaks everything he thinks. Ethan absorbs EVERYTHING and seems to comprehend most of it. I love that he wants to talk about God and Jesus. It is so fun to see faith through the eyes of a child.

Ethan is a great kid and I am so glad that he helps "water" the plants. I believe that kevin and I "watered" that area of your yard as well when we were installing the sprinklers.
