Siblings

Some days Sara and Jonas play so well together it simply amazes me. They are kind, share willingly, think of things to do together and I think wow this is great and not so hard. Then, in the next moment they are fighting over one little item, both crying and screaming. Thank God for the good moments :) I suppose in my own life I have the same tendencies - okay, I know I do. It is really fun to watch them interact and play together. I love seeing the friendship grow.

Jonas - 2 Years Old!

Jonas is 2 now!! For his second birthday we had family over for cake and ice cream. Jon decorated the cake to go with the truck theme. Jonas loved the cake and ice cream and opening presents! We had gotten a bike for him, that I thought he would be able to peddle so he could keep up with Sara - no such luck! He has to scoot it around - he still likes it, though :)

Cathy's 30th

For my birthday, Jon threw a surprise birthday party. It was great!! On the actual day of my birthday, we took the kids to do free things in A2. We got bagels at Zingerman's, pizza at Aubree's and played in the park. It was a great way to celebrate!

Jonas and Words

Jonas is constantly saying new words. Some cute ones are "bobot" for robot and "lilllil" for Lilly. He is putting more and more sentences together and figuring things out. When he sees something in a book that we have in the house he will go and find that thing to show us. If there is more than one item throughout the book, he will turn back to find the pictures. It's so fun watching him put things together.

Kite Flying

Friday night, we took the kids to the playground to fly a kite. It was super windy and cold. The kids loved, it though. Sara is pretty good at getting the kite up in the air now. This was Jonas first time and he held his own. Jonas kept running around yelling excitedly about the kite - so cute :)

Little Chefs

Sara and Jonas love helping in the kitchen. Almost anytime I'm in there making something they grab chairs to drag over to the counter to help. It's fun and challenging all at the same time. They now have aprons they wear to help keep them clean and feel more official :)
