Goings-Ons

We have been pretty busy around here. Not accomplishing much worth mentioning (except in Jeremy's case - he finished Boards, lived through it, and in about 5 weeks will know how he did. Seriously? With the the way technology is, they should be a little bit faster than that...) but still staying busy every day. Reilly and Jaina play together really well about half the time, and still fight the other half. They are both getting so big, and constantly surprising us with how much they understand, and how they can make themselves understood. (when Jaina feels like talking - half of the time she prefers to point and make a noise and have us read her mind)...
This is a picture you don't see often...


















We've enjoyed having Daddy home a little more. The kids even got to do a puzzle with him the other day. Definitely exciting! (And I was excited they didn't make me do it, too)


















Reilly is really into the computer lately. He's always trying to kick me off mine during Jaina's nap time (the only time he gets to play). He loves to play the games on SesameStreet.org, his Lego Preschool game, and one of my old Dogz games. Here is a pic of one day I really didn't want to share, so I set him up with our laptop at the kitchen table:












We have been SO happy to have some nice days lately, and the kids absolutely love being outside.  These are taken one evening last week, when we went BACK outside after dinner. The just ran up and down the driveway and along the sidewalk, over and over again!
Yes, she's cute, but I'm not sure what to do with her most of the time. She is so full of it! She loves tormenting her brother just a little too much, then turns around and does this amazingly fake cry and pouts forever when she doesn't get what SHE wants... it's a good thing she's so adorable when she's NOT being a little punk...


He puts up with an awful lot some days... He's a pretty good kid most of the time, though!

Siblings- whatcha gonna do with them?? We had two kids because we think only children are weird, but sometimes I just want to shake both of them! Be NICE to each other! Be KIND! Stop fussing!

That's how my girls are, half the time they play WONDERFULLY, and the other half ... ! Love the everyday happenings. Such cute kids you have there!

I think your parents are on the same schedule as us, everytime we eat at Casa we see them there, it's great! :)

I LOVE seeing pictures as they grow--they are real little people now! Don't worry, once Jaina stops being a 'youngest' and becomes a 'middle' with someone picking fights with HER, she'll probably settle down a bit... maybe? ;)
