Party at the park

Life Rolls On

An update by request:

Emma is currently in the process of bankrupting the Tooth Fairy. I'll post a picture soon of her toothless grin. She is continuing to excel in school, and we recently enrolled her in an (almost) free golf program designed to introduce kids to the sport. She loves it. Emma turns 7 next Saturday. She reminds us of this fact every day.

Sydney has almost completed her first (and only) year of preschool. The most excited thing about being done with preschool? Our checkbook will be able to breath again. She continues to be a great big sister to Aiden and she is starting to really improve her reading skills.

Aiden is either the cutest kid or the biggest stinker. He laughes, smiles, hits, runs, spits, hugs, throws, and plays. Sometimes all at the same time. I have made it my personal mission to teach him all his colors. Sometimes he does a great job and other times he just stares at me, frustrated: "I can't remember!"

Taylor is soooooo cute. And she is balancing out the loss of Emma's teeth by picking up several of her own. Last count had the total around 5 or 6. She had a run of about a month or two where she just yelled all the time. She seems to have settled down a bit and is down starting to babble. At least, that is what Miranda tells me. Taylor and I have schedules that don't allow us to cross paths as much as I would like.

Pot... meet kettle.

I found a lovely card today that Emma had made for Sydney. It said:

"Dear Sydney, Stop brething in my face. Stop wiining when you don't get what you want. I love you."

If that isn't true sister love, I don't know what is.
