Life is good...

Life around here has been great. William and Lauren are now 7 1/2 months old! It's so hard to believe. William has 2 teeth, and Lauren just had her first pop up. William let us know his teeth were coming in from the start, with his constant drueling, biting on anything he could get in his mouth, and of course a bit of crankiness. Lauren on the other hand, her tooth came quietly and surprised us all! They are both scooting around the floor like crazy, especially William. Neither wants to sit still anymore!
Eleanor is doing an amazing job in 2nd grade this year, just as we expected. I met with her teacher last week and she called Eleanor her "model student." She was nominated for Character Counts (a recognition in the local newspaper) for her caring and helpful attitude toward her classmates. She absolutely LOVES ballet and has her first performance coming up mid December.
Lucas is busy playing the DS and learning his letters and numbers day to day. He is excited about learning, to get ready for Kindergarten. He is as hysterical as ever and he is a wonderful helper to me at home!

Lauren...isn't that the cutest little face you've ever seen? I die over this face!

Lucas and Eleanor Halloween 2009

Feeding time...carrots seem to be the favorite around here, but fresh smashed bananas go over well in the morning!

THey love taking walks in the stroller

Eleanor's 2 favorite things...reading and her little sister! She's seriously the BEST big sister in the whole wide world!
