... changes

Here is the current update on what the kids are up to...
. . . MORGAN has new glasses! He's looking more & more like Daddy Dale every day! It's so cute, the night he had his eyes checked and picked out his glasses he said to me, "Mommy, first I got braces, then nose spray for my allergies... and NOW GLASSES! What's next?" Ahhhh, the joys of growing and how things continually change! Doesn't he look so handsome in his new eyewear? Mo is still doing wonderful in school... he's still on the HONOR ROLL, sings in the school choir & even was selected to be a part of the Choral Clinic at the High School. He also just tried out for the school SPRING TALENT SHOW for 4th & 5th graders and was very excited to be announced on the morning news the HE MADE IT IN THE SHOW! He came home and THANKED ME for signing him up for the auditions. I've learned with Morgan, sometimes he's not ready to do something on his time (we tease him and call him SLO-MO)... and when the moment passes - he's ready to do it... often times it's too late! So, Momma nudges a little and so far it's been working out!
. . . MIA has 2 teeth and LOVES LOVES LOVES her bath time! OOh, and last friday (03.07.08) she started walking around all over the house with her new VTech Walker! She's so cute! She's a funny little girl with lots of funny little expressions. I'll have to post the "one-eye scowl" for you to see... it's hilarious! I can't believe my baby girl is going to be ONE year old the end of this month! Her favorite book right now is GOODNIGHT MOON... when I read, "... and the quiet old lady who is whispering HUSSSHHHh" she will put her pointer finger on my lips as if to say Shhh! It's very cute!
. . . RYAN is still our little comedian & little athlete! Things seems to come pretty easy for Ryan. He's likeable, easy-going & always fun to be around! At night he hops around from bed to bed just to lay next to someone... trouble is - he moves around so much that everyone gets mad when they find him next to them! Usually with a foot in their face or his arms wrapped around you! Poor little guy... he's just so huggy feely! Ryan LOVES the JABAWAKIES (sp?) - so his new thing is coming home and dancing! He's still writing music with his friends and loves to sing his songs to whoever will listen to him. Yesterday, Ryan & Morgan started taking their weekly GOLF LESSSONS at the Golf Club in our neighborhood. The instructor said, "Ryan did pretty good for just his first day golfing". I'll have to take some pictures of them next week!
. . . DANIELLA is turning 7 years old TOMORROW (03.14.08)... Where did the time go? She was the baby of the family for so long... it's hard to see her grow up so fast! She LOVES all things POKEMON & WEBKINS. Did you know that there were clothes for webkins now? I'm so out of it! Dani & her friend & next door neighbor - SARAH are pictured above at Wanamaker Park sliding down the big hill. These two LOVE playing together... they make up different cheers, always doing handstands or cartwheels, playing school, dress-up, making friendship bracelets, dancing to music or just putting out beach towels & beach chairs while pretending to be on the beach listening to their radio... I LOVE THAT DANI HAS A GOOD FRIEND LIKE SARAH! I'm sad just thinking of our move to Guam... knowing that they won't have each other anymore! Friendships are one of lifes greatest gifts! . . . & then there is our sweet ole' BELLA GIRL - she is still so very patient and loving to ALL our kids! As you can see here, not even her bed is her own anymore... especially with Mia on the move all the time! Bella continues to be very tolerant and loving! I often wonder what goes on in her head... I think the look on this photo says it all!
