I love my cuties.

I just wanted to write a few things down before I forget them!!!

Noah is growing and changing and LEARNING so fast I can't keep up with him. His vocabulary is growing daily and he impresses me every day. It is so fun to watch him pick up on things. Just this afternoon we were reading a Numbers book and he started counting the items with me, which he has never done. He counted all the way to ten! I had no idea he could do that!

We love, love, love to sing in our house (and in the car). Probably not a surprise if you know Luke. Someone is always singing. The last few weeks, Noah has started singing with us. His favorite songs to sing are: The Wheels on the Bus, The Ants Go Marching, Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, I am Like a Star and.... I am a Child of God. Oh my goodness, did my heart just melt when he sang I am a Child of God with me on Wednesday night! I almost started crying. He is such a sweet boy. And, he loves music.

Our dear little Emma is just that. Little! She is such a petite little thing, still! In fact, she is about the 10th percentile in weight and 50th percentile in weight and height. She moves so fast now and the doctor is certain she will walk by her birthday. She is walking along furniture, and pulling herself up to standing so fast. She is starting to let go of things once she is standing as well. What a smartie pants! She is also SLEEPING! Yes!! Love this about the girl. She is sleeping through(most) nights.

Emma does not show much interest in reading stories and hasn't shown much interest in music yet, either. But, we keep working on these things and she has started shakin' her booty lately. I love to watch my kids dance. I think it is so hilarious! Emma loves to play with her big brother and tries to keep up the best she can.

Luke and I are plugging away at life and best of all... Luke starts POST (the Police Academy) on Tuesday. We finally came to the decision that the best way for him to get a career in Law Enforcement was to put him through ourselves. We found a govt. grant that is paying for most of it (phew!). So it is great that this step towards a great career for Luke is almost here! I am very excited for him.

So that's it for now. Our computer got another virus, yes again, so no pictures for now. But I have some cuties to share with y'all once we get the ext. hd back.

Tell Luke to give Dave Attridge (Andy's Dad) a hard time! He can take it. Cute pictures, love the stories!
