We have had a busy few weeks...Evie started gymnastics again and is in the 3-4 year old class. She is STILL 2 and keeps up with, if not ahead of, the other 2 girls who are 3 and 4. She has been practicing being a good listener, following the teacher's instructions and getting stonger with each skill she learns.
Her favorite thing to do is "Monkey Toes"..hanging on the bar with her toes up. She is AWESOME at that! But she also loves "Listen and Move" time on the red square where they do what the music says!
Here she is at one of the stations in the circus. This one's called "Spiderman"...maybe we will be trying a real handstand soon!
I participated in the Gainesville JBF sale last week. Mia came down to help get everything tagged and ready. I consigned lots of toys and clothes...even though you can't really tell at our house!! It was a huge success and made almost $200!!! YEA!!I did some shopping too and found this cool teepee, homemade, but adorable. The kids had a blast playing in it!!
Beckett still loves books and will sit and read pretty much ANY TIME!! He looks like he is sitting on the potty in this picture...and he actually has been saying, "pee pee" and walking into the bathroom lately. I don't think we are anywhere near ready for that!Beckett has taken a growth spurt. Creeping into size 24 month clothes, size 5/6 shoes. My baby is looking more and more like a little BOY every day! boooooooo
We are pretty much off the bedtime bottle (I know, a little late!) He drinks some milk from a sippy cup before bedtime now. He was sick a few weeks ago, so he was waking up in the middle of the night!!! But, we are back on our routine and life is somewhat peaceful again.
No one can believe that Evie is still 2!!! The other mother at her gymnastics class always says how advanced she is. It's true. I try not to compare her to other kids, but she really has been blessed with agility, "smarts", and an amazing conceptual thought process---real gifts from God! WE ARE NOW DIAPER FREEEEEEE!!! Even at night. Mia forgot to put a diaper on her a few weeks ago, and she woke up dry!!! YES!
Perfect example of her crazy little mind...she just came downstairs while I was typing this and asked me, "can you hang that back up?" (beckett pulled something off the wall earlier!)...she said, "because I want your house to be beautiful!" oh puleeease! :)
cracks me up!
Its gonna be a fun Fall in Gainesville. Planning a trip to the pumpkin patch, fall festival at church, Evie's 3rd birthday party...
FYI:
1. Zach is getting baptized this Sunday at church
2. We are flying out to Haiti on December 26th for 7 days of missions, medical and construction!!
Love to you all!

I love seeing Evie at gymnastics! Those pictures are too cute! .. I can just see her now coming up to you and telling you how she wants your house to look beautiful. She is such a clever girl. I hope Cori can learn something from her. :) We need to get together soon. It's been since Friday!!!
