Update: Kids

We've received emails asking about how the kids are. If you are a parent, you know by experience that when you have kids, every one's interest is in them...not you. When we go home to visit our families, everyone usually runs to the car to see the kids. But, that's OK. I had my time in the sun as a kid. So, onto the update.




Caleb is really enjoying his school. He is doing well and has adjusted marvelously. He had his first Upwards Basketball practice tonight and had a great time. His first game is this Saturday. GO Panthers!




Abby has also adjusted very well. She loves the church and is begging to take ballet lessons. We'll be looking into that soon. She has really developed into a great help as a big sister, and is busy teaching Ella how to do things....and "telling" her how to do things. She's more of a little "mama" than a big sister. As Abby's little pet, Ella wants for nothing. We may have to get Abby a hamster so that she'll quit rubbing Ella's head so much.

Ella is truly turning into a California girl. She spends most of her time hanging out at the beach with her friends, and has developed quite a tan. Santa brought her a surf board this year, and she will soon be taking lessons. OK, OK....she's not surfing yet. But, what am I to say about a 10 month old. She still wears diapers and squeals a lot. She's not walking yet, but there seems to be no need to. Abby carries her everywhere she wants
to go.



Now you're caught up. If you'd like to say "hello" to the kids, please reply to this blog. We will let the kids come in and see their pictures and then read the replies to them. If you don't reply, we will tell them that you don't like them and they'll be crushed forever.
