our children

All of the kids are growing up very quickly. After holding a brand new baby this weekend, I realized that even Abraham is growing faster than I thought. So I just thought I would give a short update on each of the kids for those of you who can not be here to experience their daily activites.

Simeon will be 4 in May and is very excited about it! He can recognize his Alphabet and write most of them. He is still learning their sounds but I must say, that is coming along quickly too thanks to a Leap Frog DVD that Shelly let us borrow! He is big on being the "protector" right now and loves helping his brother and sister. He is always asking questions and trying to figure out how things work. I do believe he is on the go from the moment his feet hit the floor in the morning until his head hits his pillow at night.

Abbi is quickly turning from our baby girl into a young lady. Her vocabulary is always increasing and her sentences are getting longer. She too can recognize some of her letters and is learning their sounds very quickly. She loves talking on the phone, getting her nails painted and wearing shoes - everyone's shoes! (Thanks Josiah for the great pictures of Abbi.)

Abraham is now 3 1/2 months and enjoying life. He is a very happy baby and loves to watch his big brother and sister. He loves attention and will be glad to talk to you for a while. He can sit in his "activity bouncy seat" and tries to reach for the toys. He makes lots of "oohs" and "ahs" and can mimic some faces as well. If you stick your tongue out at him, he will stick his tongue out at you.
