Our Little Actress

Matt's sister, Raegan, took these pictures of Daphne last week. She is so dramatic- she is always making up stories, songs and creating scripts for all of us. Some of her latest quotes:
"Mommy, How do you say nipples in English?"
"Mommy and Daddy wear a mitten and play softball."
Daphne woke up the other morning and came into my room to tell me that she was hungry. I had bought a new kind of cereal (Cracklin Oat Bran) a few days before and she led me to the pantry and pulled out the cereal and said, "I was dreaming about this cereal and I was thinking about it in my bed so I need to eat it." She ate every bite!

Playing with Our Cousins

Last weekend, Isaac & Daphne's cousin's slept over- they had a great time together!

Neighbors!

Isaac & Daphne are so excited to have neighbors who are their ages. We are dealing with teaching a little moderation in this aspect. They want to play with their neighbors all day long! Here is a pic of Daphne and her new best friend, Lauren, in princess dresses, hair uncombed, jumping on the trampoline. They are so cute together. Isaac is struggling a little with the moderation aspect. On Friday, I had to ground him from playing over at the neighbor's homes! Isn't he just five? I told him that we were done playing with friends for the morning and he threw a fit and hid from me! I was running around our street in tears and I finally found him sitting on the couch in our downstairs family room- he snuck in the back door. I think he has learned his lesson now. We are so happy and blessed to have such great neighbors and it will be (hopefully) great for the kids to have such good friends close by!

Strike A Pose

Daphne is such a little actress! She asked me to "take my picture- I will make a funny face!"

Learning to Write

Isaac has become (finally) very interested in writing & drawing! Here are some of his most recent creations!
