kiddo updates

This was an update I gave my lil' sister in Rwanda and I thought I would not let it get wasted in one single e-mail so here it is on my happy little blog... I also had these leaf pictures which kinda match the theme of ever changing. I am a big fan of thinking about seasons and the coming and going of themes in our lives. These were taken on a walk in Ohio with my Uncle Barry who adores my children! He has never been too much of a kid person but recently our visits with him have beenfilled with him spending more time with my kids than I ever could imagine! I love it! Sometimes feelings from our past leave (leaf) us and we have a renewed sense of love for something else! So here is an update on my kids... kinda raw (excuse the diaper rash issue please!)
Cora- has a bad rash, my diapers aren't working great anymore, I have fixed some of them but not sure what to do, she went down the BIG slides at the playground today with very little help from me!, she is starting to say phrases like "Some more" "I have a bite" "Mimi and Papa's" "me Yoda" (that is her plan for Halloween)
Daisy- went through a horrible 2 weeks of peeing the bed almost every night... arrggghhh! glad she has been dry for about 5 nights in a row now, her favorite movie is "Jezel" (or Enchanted), she is getting bored of Carter playing soccer and wants to run on the field too!, She is tall! I think she has grown an inch in the last month
Carter- is loving school!, When I ask if he had a good day yesterday he stated "Mom all days at school are great!", he is super excited about halloween and has had many battles with Daisy in the last 20hours or so of owning light sabers!, he too has grown in height... some of the pants i just got out for school are too short for him!, he has one more week of soccer then maybe will play basket ball at the Y this winter!

peace!

Daisy fulfills her summer dream...


Daisy has been talking about riding a horse all summer. I finally made it happen thanks to our lovely friends. Daisy rode Acorn a couple Fridays ago and loved it. Carter actuallly rode fist b/c Daisy wanted him to but carter was too busy talking and being distracted... not Daisy though! She was really focused and loved it! I am not about to make her a horse lover but I do want to give her that option! I once LOVED horses and really enjoyed them too! Owning them... now that is another story! For now we will just take the pony rides as they come!







Cora even wanted a try! Silly monkey!

Cora is an artist...



Cora has a new fascination with markers, stickers, crayons.... the issue is that she can't seem to find paper to go with her art supplies!
