Bigger and Better

Our friends Gavin and Sarah had a 32" TV that they don't use so they passed it on to us. Steve is thrilled that he no longer has to watch golf on a 19" screen. It was suprising to look up and be able to see the picture without squinting. Since our original agreement was that we wouldn't replace our old one until it stopped working, Steve is very thankful for our generous friends! Funny though, there was nothing good on TV tonight...

Roll Over, Roll Over

Kate enjoys holding her sisters and "helping" them learn to roll over. I wasn't here for the first episode of Kate's training exercises.

Step 1: Stretch out the legs
Step 2: Grab the front of your sister's shirt
Step 3: Pull and Flip
Neither Abigail or Eveline seem to mind and don't cry at all when she does it. This is always supervised very closely by daddy and I have been keeping an extra close eye on her to make sure she doesn't try to help them stand up or anything.

Look Both Ways

We have noticed that Abigail doesn't like to look right very well or very often. We have been working with her to make her follow a toy all the way across from left to right. It will definitely be a point of discussion with Dr. Julie in a few weeks at our next appointment.

We are praying that this isn't anything serious and that by helping her exercise her neck muscles it will improve on its own.

Thank You!

Abigail and Eveline wanted to let their uncles and aunts know the following:

Uncle Bernie & Aunt Leona - We appreciate our new wheels! We hope that we can see you guys again soon and would love for you to take us for a jog.
Zio Brian and Zia Rita - We love looking at ourselves in the mirror and batting wildly at the crazy animals on our play mat. (Eveline is the vain one who can't get enough of looking at herself!) We spend time on this almost everyday. When we come to MI next we can't wait to see you! PS - We are saving the rest of our gift card for candy - Lots and Lots of Candy, but don't tell Mom.

Chilly Dinner

Tonight we decided to have dinner outside since the weather had been so nice during the day. We forgot to take into account that once the sun went down it would be mighty chilly - Oops! I guess we are anxious to put our patio to use this summer. Kate is excited for the warm weather so she can plant things in her garden!

Pizza and Stickers Anyone?

Kate's current all-time favorite meal is supreme pizza and you can see why. The messier the better! She can out eat me in the pizza department - She can easily eat two slices for dinner.

Also, this girl loves stickers. These were free in the mail and promptly were put all over her shirt and arms. She received a sticker book for her birthday that we work on together during the twins' morning nap. It helps her practice her matching and her colors as well as her creativity!

Game...Set...Match

The weather was beautiful today so we went to watch Madison play tennis for Chatfield HS - Go Madison! Kate had fun watching the ball go back and forth. Being quiet is not her favorite thing to do so she went with Jia to the park for awhile where she played in a sandbox - Found that out the hard way when I took her shoes off!

Kate got to take home a tennis ball as a souvenir and is dying to hit it with a racket (ie: her big plastic bat)

When we are praying at dinner or before naptime/bedtime she often thanks Jesus for Jia - too cute!
