My kids right now:

Jasmin insists on sleeping with at least three blankets & a swarm of stuffed animals. If she throws a terrible fit, she needs to be wrapped up in a blanket (her toes covered) & snuggled in order to calm down. She's a very emotional little girl. She's getting much better at coming when called. She just tends to melt down rather quickly, especially if she's tired and/or hungry. She cried for the first 5 minutes of my Woodman's shopping trip the other day. She didn't want to go shopping. j

Dylan likes Legos the most right now. Especially, Star Wars Legos. He had chicks in his K5 class, that was a big thrill for him. He got to watch them hatch. I brought home Wendy's the other day (we usually get McD's). Wendy's fries are now his favorite! Mine, too. He's learning so much in kindergarten. They have recently starting studying the body. We're dealing with him arguing with us. Often when he's told to do something, he will immediately argue. So, it's a matter of learning to obey right away.

They are a wonderful gift from God. A challenge and a blessing each day. Love them!

I've been meaning to blog for a week or so, but I keep forgetting, so here goes.

Eric's cousin, Amy, lost her husband to cancer a year ago. Just a week ago, her seven year old daughter passed away. She had been sick all her life with Rhett's Syndrome. But to lose a child, how unfathomable. We went to the funeral, it was a hard day. Our prayers continue for Amy & her other two children. We watched Collin & Bella last night. I'm amazed at the resiliency of children. We played outside for 1 1/2 hours. Then, we came inside & had a snack. After that, the boys played Wii & the girls went upstairs to play.

Dylan has started Tball. He's having a great time with it. His team is the Tigers. Go Tigers! His first game is today at 11:00 am. Can't wait to see him in action! After that, I plan on going shopping with my new friend, Shannon. And her baby. I'm hoping to find a pair of white shoes for my sister's wedding. It's in just less than three weeks now, so I need to get it into gear!! We plan on going to Olive Garden for lunch (which I love!)

Jasmin's getting huge! Seems like she's grown alot recently. She has the best personality. She can be trying, I think it comes with the personality. She has a spunk I wouldn't trade for anything.
