Our Little Ones...


Sarah likes to read, sing 'The Phantom of the Opera' to us, play sports, practice her clarinet, pet her kitty and hang out with her friends. She is a good friend, a great student and has been asked out on her first date- *UGH* which we quickly put the 'kabosh' on, reminding her that boys have deadly cooties and are dangerous until at least 23years of age. She likes to remind us about it- just to watch us squirm and fidget. Her Daddy told her that if she wants a date- HE will fly out here and take her on one. Needless to say he has already purchased a flight.
Rachel likes Math, reading, drawing, dancing to music, and designing clothing. She is quite the 'social butterfly' and always has lots of friends around her. Rachel loves the Junie B. Jones series of books and has begun reading the Pippi Longstockings books. She is learning to cook and makes a great pie. Rachel is a good little housekeeper and has even helped clean at her Grammie Bev's. She is looking forward to her 9th Birthday and to seeing her Grandparents, who have been in Russia for a year and a half. She is sweet and patient with us all. Her favorite thing to do is for everyone to snuggle up in Mom's bed to watch a movie.
Gabriel is our BOY- and he is ALL BOY! Gabe is all about the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Spiderman, Batman and fighting. He loves to throw and hit balls, build towers with blocks, dump out and count his 'monies' (money) and run around outside. He spends a fair amount of time in 'Time out' and is good at saying he is sorry. He will run into the room, punch his sister full force in the stomach and run to 'Time out' yelling- 'I sorry Rachel' as he sits down in his time out spot. It is useless for me to punish or get angry at him because his sisters are already laughing or smiling at him and telling him it is 'okay'- that he just has to be nice. He loves to eat chips and is picky when it comes to everything else. He is a sweet boy almost all of the time and keeps us all laughing.
