Beka
She loves to be outside and especially to swing. She will stand at the door and point "side, wee". She loves to play dress up already and is obsessed with shoes. She will find mine, Tonii's, Dane's or anyone else who may be visiting and try to parade around the house in them. She is also obsessed with the book "Goodnight Moon" which we must read every night and if she had her way every morning and afternoon too. Her favorite part of the book is the "baboon" which translated means the "red balloon".
Dane
He asked me the other day if I was married and I said yes. Then he said "Well who am I going to marry?". I said "Oh Dane, God will make that clear in His timing". Then he said "Maybe I can marry Meg (Terrell from LA). . . . or maybe Noah (Neri from LA). I got a good laugh from that and said "Well, Noah might actually be more submissive, but Meg would definitely be the more God honoring choice."
We were in the car on Friday and out of the blue Dane says "Mommy I don't want to go to college." You can imagine my surprise from not only the statement, but from the subject matter too. So I said "Well why don't you want to go to college?" to which he replied "Because I want to stay with you and daddy." Now come on how can you argue with such a sweet sentiment as that. However, I did assure him that if he truly felt that way that he could live at home while he went to college. I can't believe I am having these conversations already. He isn't even 4 yet!! Marriage and college, this is just too much for mommy to handle.

Gloria likes "goodnight moon" too and the red balloon (well, balloons in general) but the funny thing she pointed out to me is that the balloon goes missing in some pages of that show the whole room (she keeps saying "ba-oon??" "ba-oon??" while pointing at the spot where it normally is drawn) and then reappears at the end! We have the board book version so I don't know if the bigger book is that way!
eek! college and marriage! tiff and I were just talking about ex-boyfriends and how we don't want our kids to handle dating the way we did as teenagers/college students and then I was like "ok, we have to stop! I don't want to imagine our kids as teenagers yet!"
