Everyone's a Growin' and a Changin'

The caterpillars are in their chrysalis'! They got big and fat fast and we woke up one morning to them hanging from the top of their little jars. We moved them into a bigger home and are waiting for the butterflies to emerge in the next few days! Very cool.

Luke's growing up - with graduation from first grade he has been busy with a school concert and Let's Play Music Recital. He's so cute and sings and plays piano so well.


Daddy's growing up - he turns 32 this week. We went to celebrate at Texas Roadhouse last night - the kids' choice because they love when we get "mortified" (as Luke puts it) on the saddle. Ty obviously enjoyed it. The kids have set up a big scavenger hunt for him to find his gifts. I think he'll have a great birthday


Jakey's growing up - he is in primary now at church and is beginning to learn his first lessons in sitting still and listening/singing. He has had a hard time since leaving nursery or the "toys class" as he calls it. But this week his music teacher gave him his first STAR - not quite for good behavior yet, but because Tyler took him over to her house to say sorry after we got a poor report about his behavior in church. He's trying...
Ashley Marie is growing bigger - doing just awesome with her tube! She even says she likes it because it makes her tummy feel good in the mornings! She is already starting to gain weight - and hit the 32 mark on the scale - a first for her!

So much to comment on! (great post btw) First, how does luke eat ribs missing his front teeth? Second, I laughed out loud seeing ty sitting on the saddle...he is always good in situations like that! Third, Jakes story about behavior is priceless. Fourth, ashley is looking good! She will love having that picture of her on the scale at 32 pounds one day...soon enough she'll be stuck at 132 like us! and lastly, you look great...& pregnant definitely! At least it seems real when your tummy pokes out. Let's face it. We aren't the type to be wearing our regular jeans until we're 16 weeks pregnant!
