S & S Gazette

Where does the time go? The last month and a half have been pretty busy, but that isn't too far from normal.

The kids keep us going pretty well.

Emma is getting to the point where she can tell you what she wants a little bit more, although any type of fruit is apparently an "apple". She tried to eat an orange by just biting into the skin, but lost interest fairly quickly.


Ezra keeps himself busy with his various toys. He has a pretty good imagination, and always has his toys playing and "talking" with each other.


Recently, both of the kids have been on a popcorn kick. They both ask for popcorn on a daily basis. Some days they eat more, and some less, but that's okay.

Last weekend Shawn's parents came down for a visit. The kids loved having grandma and grandpa around. We got to go see Kelly & Cameron as well. Both of the kids had a great time wrestling with grandpa.


Of course, Emma got pressed into service...

... well, not really.

Emma has finally got to the point that she'll let Susan do her hair sometimes. As long as you tell her that it is pretty enough times, she will sometimes leave it in.


Ezra decided that he needed his picture taken that day too and posed for it:


The kids are big enough that they can kind of help when we bake things. They helped Susan make cookies yesterday. They're so good!


Ezra ate one, and he was pretty careful not to get too much chocolate on himself.

Emma, on the other hand, wasn't quite so worried about it.


We set up a fish tank again. The kids have liked watching the fish, and we'll see how this one does. Made sure not to get mollies again, there were just way too many of them last time.
