A shout out to grandma and her knitting....

I am posting this picture to just show the kids moving and interacting together. I particularly like this video because it shows how much Addie loves her 'meme'. Meme is the word our kids use for the blanket that Charles's Mom kindly makes for our kids. They are by far the one thing that comforts Theo and Addie the most. You can see right at the end of the video that Addie finds her 'meme' and then sticks her thumb in her mouth. This is how she goes to bed every night. We are very thankful for 'memes' and the grandma that makes them.

Addie's Moving Style

I have put some videos up of Addie moving before, but I wanted to put one up of her scooting outside because this is just so representative of her life this last month. She loves being outside and always asks to get out of the pushchair to explore the orchard. Enjoy!

Theo and Addie playing

The other night before bed Theo started bumping into Addie and me. Addie thought it was hilarious and started giggling. It was cute to see them 'playing' a game together.

Easter 2011

We tried to get some good pictures of the kids on Easter Sunday. I am not sure about good, but we did get some. Here they are:

Boys singing before bed...

Yesterday after church we went to a friend's house for Sunday lunch. Addie took a nap there but the boys both stayed up and played. We had a great time, but at the end of the day we had some really tired boys so we made a parental decision to put them to bed a few minutes early. Jack, being particularly 'Jackish', noticed that he was in his bed three minutes before seven instead of seven or after so he called out wondering why. We told him because he was tired. I then said 'if you think it is too early Jack you all can sing songs until seven'. We then heard this song which I taped through their bedroom door (they had no idea I was taping):





And just to prove that parents do know best, we didn't hear another word after this song and Jack slept until 7:45 am this morning instead of his usual bounding out of his room at seven!
