She listens !!

We made banana bread this morning for a friends birthday. When the little darling girl was not listening, I became a bit irritated (after telling her again and again and again...). To my amazement she said something that actually made me beleive she actually hears me when I speak !! (Which of course is not easy to beleive !!) She told me she was disappointed that I chose to be angry. HA !!! Well, we are learning about choices. So on we go with the little smarty and I am sure now that some of what I am telling her is getting through. Tiny is in bed waking up and will get his bath now and get slathered up with the Eucerin. Poor thing's excema is taking a toll on his skin but his disposition is awesome !! He is a total champion !! Off to serve the kids now but will keep in touch more later.
ps. what do y'all think? Fort Wayne is beckoning !!!

Hey there everyone.
Well, this last week PJ accepted a job offer with the City of Fort Wayne.
It is a project management position with the Housing and Neighborhood services department.
We aren't excited about packing but other than that we are very happy!
In other breaking news, James has begun to eat solid food (rice cereal).
We'll keep you all updated.

Hi everyone.
So what is new here?
Lots o' rain today.
Angie spotted the world's smallest mailbox.
James is busy talking and growing.
Ava disobeyed her tumbling teacher and sat on a ball, and promptly fell off the ball and got a fat lip.
PJ went to the demolition derby last weekend and had a blast!
Love to all.

Hey everyone.
Hope that you all have a great holiday tomorrow.
We have a big day planned with a neighborhood parade in the morning and swimming and BBQ with friends in the afternoon.
It will be nice.
Here are some milestone photos.
Ava making her first trip down the street on her bike with a little help from her friend Betsey.
And the second is an example of Ava's talent on the other side of the camera.

Hello everyone.
Hot day here in Michiana.
Sorry it's been so long since our last post.
Mom has two kids to take care of and Dad has no real excuse.
We have been keeping busy.
Take care and we'll talk to you all soon.
