Letters & Marshall

My nephew Jack sent us this great letter!  He had been checking out this blog.  His mom, Nicole, wrote exactly what he wanted to say.  The kids loved it.

I took this movie of Marshall yesterday.  He really didn't do anything, but hang out in his chair.  He's crying now so I have to run.

You Tube Video

I'm trying to see if the You Tube videos that we make can be posted here.  Josh had the kids making hand guards for a tutorial video.  They had fun.

Here is a You Tube Video of the kids in the "woods" by the Middle School.  Josh took them out there and they made a fort.  It's still there.

Baby Wrap

So I've made my own baby wrap to carry this big boy around.  He loves to be held and upright.  No cradle hold for him.  Anyway I made a "knock off" of a popular wrap that I don't want to identify in fear of licensing issues.  (Worrying about licensing issues and legal ramifications comes from having an attorney for a husband).  I love this wrap even though I've only had it on for 30 minutes!!

I also couldn't post without putting pictures of the kids.  Marshall smiled for the first time (without gas or while eating) a few days ago.  He smiled at Audrey while she was "reading" him a book.  It was adorable.  

This is a 6 month outfit!  Marshall is getting so big so fast.  I bought this for him before he was born.  I just love the feet!!!

Hudson's Schooling

Now Hudson is learning how to write and put together sentences.  Here is his latest creation that I found on the bathroom door. 

It says:

"Keep out go away!"

"Top Secrit Closed for Good!" 

"Com bak a nuther time" 

"Go to the uther bathroom" 
 

He means:

Keep out go away

Top Secret closed for good

Come back another time

Go to the other bathroom

At 6 he's marking his own territory.  He now has to share a room with his sister and I think he's trying to make his own space.  Unfortunately, we only have 1 bathroom on the main floor and the other bathroom is in the basement.  I told him he couldn't keep people out of the bathroom.  He was quite disgruntled about that.  

Dance Class

Audrey is taking a "dance" class once a week.  She goes and basically runs around for 40 minutes.  She likes it.  Here are some movies of her.  I'm in an observation room where it has a one way mirror.  I had shown her the room the week before and where I sat to watch her.    

This is what Marshall does while Audrey dances:
