For Shana

Well, we haven't been up to much, but Shana keeps begging me to post some pictures, so here are all the uninteresting details.

William has two teeth that he seems quite proud of. He now growls all the time like Lizzy did, and loudly attacks and gnaws on anything he can get a hold of.


And he is rolling around.




He rolled in front of the mirror the other day and jumped in suprise. Since then he has spent a lot of time commiserating with his new friend on being bald.

Lizzy has been making all sorts of tents and "turtle houses" lately (I have no idea where that name came from.) She loves to get William to come into her forts, which he patiently endures.

She loves to do crafts:

and more crafts
and more crafts



and of course read books.


But, actually her very favorite thing to do lately is to help Mommy clean! A while ago I was trying to decide what to do with her while I clean the house in the early mornings, and I got the idea to just bring her along with me and let her help. It takes a lot longer this way, but usually I am just racing through the chores to play with her anyway- so why not spend time with her and let her work? I was blown away by how eager she is to help me! Let's hope it lasts!

Mary, Eliza looks JUST like, you she is of course so darling and so is WIlliam. I wish we saw you more! I bet Lizzy and Ady would play great.

You have such cute children! Eliza is so sweet. I love the picture of William looking at himself in the mirror. It looks like you are a wonderful mother, doing crafts, reading and teaching Eliza to work already! Good job!

I love William's growl. He's so funny! Eliza is such a joy. I loved her cuteness in the Primary video.
It's so nice to have little helpers:)

Thank you- they're so adorable! I miss these two so much. Lizzy's hair is getting really long, and I think Will looks more and more like her all the time. Love you!

I'm with Shana. Will is looking more and more like Eliza. Oh my, I loved the picture of Will looking at himself in the mirror. Your kids are so dang cute. Man, I hope this one turns out all right.
