On Sunday, Little Miss was all excited to see her little friend at church. She literally chased him down, pinned him against the door and laid one on him. (See photographic evidence above.) He, in turn, immediately burst into tears and tried to get away. This was after she had already tackled him on the floor and smooched him. What can I say? She knows what she wants. Sassy little thing! She must get it from her grandma. ;-)

Hello out there!
So, it's been a while. In my defense, my computer is basically dead and has been dying for the past 4 months. You'd think I could get some help around here since I live with a computer guy and all, but instead I get a few minutes use on the laptop. So here is a very quick update (sans pictures since I don't even know how to get them off the camera onto this computer) and hopefully sometime soon I can start getting some semi-regular updates like before.
Little Miss - Just turned 10 months. She is living up to Avena baby standards weighing in at around 23 lbs. She is walking everywhere, climbing stairs, and pretty much just being a tornado. We call her "Destructo" regularly because if there is any way she can get to it, you can bet she will and you can bet it will be destroyed. She loves to eat all the "real" food like pasta, fruit, guacamole and steak despite the fact she only has 3 teeth, one of which you can't even count as a tooth yet because it barely made it's debut.
Little Man - Is 3 1/2 and is bored to death most of the days. He is in speech therapy twice a week and is excited to start preschool in the fall. He started writing his name from memory and saying prayers completely on his own. (And I might add that they are really good, heartfelt, prayers covering everything from being grateful for his family to saying thank you for the ceilings.)
Little J - Had a birthday in March and turned 7. We weren't able to do his party until the first weekend in April, though. This year he wanted a Super Mario themed party, which at first stumped me. But it turned out fun, with games like pin the mustache on Mario, Yoshi's egg hunt, and an obstacle course that included striking your best Mario jump pose and fighting the Goombas. They each had coin boxes and got coins when they completed a task and each took home a goody box that included fun Mario things including fake mustaches.
Big J - Is 9 1/2 and recently informed me that he had "got himself some puberty" because he was "sprouting some armpit hair." He was quite proud and I know I need to have "the talk" sooner than later. He is about to earn his Bear in Scouts, is about to have his first piano recital in a few weeks, and has kept busy with sports, reading and finding creative ways to use his pocketknife.
That's all I've got for now, as I'm about to run out the door for a meeting. Time flies when you're having fun!
