Fall Fun

Today started with rain and turned into sunshine, which is one of the reasons we love Arizona. So after it cleared up we decided to enjoy the wet weather on a walk to GG and Pop-pop's house. Just in the past week or so have we been venturing out for walks without a stroller. So fun! Yes, that means I carry a little travel bag, camera, and an occasional child but it's so worth it. Today we found a lady bug, practiced our agility, and played dress up. I feel blessed at how ewel the kdis get laong. They're always looking out for each other, being considerate of each other, and quick to lend a helping hand to one and another. Now don't get me wrong we have our power and sharing struggles but their love for each other out weighs anything. It's pretty cute to hear Emma trying to get Evan to say more words. We'll always hear her saying, "EVAN, say Emma...say Nala...say Midnight". And in the last week his vocabulary has grown by 3 words: Pop-pop, Emma, and (Mid)night. Emma continues to amaze us. Last night on our walk we approached a stop sign and she says,
"S-T-O-P...stop Mommy, look it says stop". Beno and I almost fell off the curb.

Well Hello.......

We've been having so much fun these past few months that blogging has taken the back-burner. Emma has mastered the potty and even sleeps through the night without a pull-up. We're super excited for her but I never thought saying goodbye to poop and pee would be part of my daily routine...but lucky me. She's also says the darndesed things. Some of my current favorites are: "I can't like this", "I love Evan my sister, brother", "oh darn it", "and someday". We also sing happy birthday daily so I'm sure we've sung to you too.

Evan is growing in leaps and bounds trying to keep up with his sister. My favorite passtime is now watching them play together. His teeth are sprouting and he's starting to look like a toddler...not my little baby. Before we know it he's going to be talking in sentences. He might not say much but understands EVERYTHING (but that doesn't mean he always chooses to listen). This little man wants to climb on anything that looks like it might support him, which keeps me on my toes.
