Noelle is in her "terrible ones." Overnight she transformed from a happy, compliant, flexible baby to an opinionated little girl. A few weeks ago, we said "bye" to the paci. She says a few words: Mama, Daddy, bye-bye, yes, no, I see, "ah-nyah" (all done). There are lots of squeals and pointing to make her point as well. In this picture she's bringing me the bag of pretzels and a sandwich bag so I can fix her a snack.
Bonnie is doing great. She's been taking gymnastics this spring, which she likes a lot. She loves playing/making up stories with her horses, dressing up, playing in the sandbox, and waiting for plants to grow. We've been listening to the "Little House" books in the car this spring, and both big kids have really liked those.
Kellen's done with soccer for this season. He had a good time, but if you ask him he'll say he's looking forward to the winter when he can play basketball. He's reading up a storm, and learning lots all the time. His favorite thing to do right now is watch "Life" on DVR.
We were excited with Kellen when he was awarded "Best All-Around Player" of his soccer team. (The little incident when he shoved the goalie because the kid blocked his shot took him out of the running for the sportsmanship award.)
We plan on just hanging out this summer, with a little bit of traveling. Next year, the big kids will both be at Kellen's school; K will go to Kindergarten and Bonnie will be right next door in Pre-K. I've been hired to teach at the preschool at our church, so Noelle will go along with me two days a week.

You didn't tell me you had been hired at the pre-school! Good job! Thanks for the posts.
