What a beautiful family. I really enjoyed the old photos. What fun memories for you all. Kennedy got the 3-D chalk at a birthday party, but I have seen it a Walmart. It was really fun! Brian leaves the beginning of May. I will probably come out, but I am just not sure when. It's hard to pick up and leave. Kennedy is in dance and will have her first recital before too long, and then she will start preschool in August. We will just have to see. I will try to look you up for sure though if we come out. Life is always busy!!

Yes, he sits up on his own VERY well! He's a strong little guy and very determined to catch up to sister. Nathan was born October 10th. He started sitting up at 41/2 months, and by 5 1/2 month he was really good at it. Now we don't have to worry too much about him tipping over. He's figuring out how to push and pull himself were ever he wants to go. I kind think he might start crawling before Brian leaves (army style at least).It's just CRAZY! Both my kids are go-getters! Brian will return to us here, but we don't really know how long we will be here in Florida. My guess is maybe until next summer, but it's only a guess!
