Crazy Happy

Lots of fun things to catch up on.  We are still moving and we get into our new place May 18th!  We are all so excited and counting the days and moving boxes until we go.  We are almost all packed and have been busy every weekend trying to be ready for the big day.  My parents are coming to help take care of the kids while we move which will be amazing!

I am training for my first half marathon and it has been keeping me very busy.  I have 2 months left before the big race and feeling better about it every day.  My sister and I are running it together and are very excited to run across the golden gate bridge!

The kids are awesome.  Henry is at a very funny age right now.  He is almost exclusively dressing himself and he tends to make very interesting choices.  It takes all I have to not make him change, like last night when he wore a bike helmet and plastic rope thing around his neck to go out to dinner. He is pretty proud of himself when he does it and it is pretty funny.  Here are a few of the outfits.  I have many more pictures for future blackmail but need to upload them.

Henry's outfit

notice the two different slippers, how punk

He also has an imaginary friend named JJ who spends quite a bit of time with our family.  We had a little problem yesterday when Henry noticed that Bill ate JJ but he spit him out and we were all fine. :)  I think it is obvious that Henry has a lot of imagination (or as he calls it imagimation). 

That brings us to Reese the new house troublemaker.  She is into everything and finds it quite hilarious to climb up onto everything.  Her favorite it to stand on top of the kitchen table and scream loud shrills of joy.  She is a feisty and happy little bug.  She thoroughly enjoys finding her brother and screaming into his face which makes him fall apart.  He is like her favorite cause and effect toy. She is a love and is always taking care of her baby doll, petting the dogs and jumping up and down when Bill walks in the door. She loves bananas and is constantly asking for one in the kitchen. She is always talking/jabbering and just like Henry can never manage to sit still.

We jumped in puddles the other night.  They both had a blast.  They do make quite the pair and once they get going laughing they are hard to stop. They have their differences daily but it is so obvious that they love one another. Below is a video of Reese demonstrating her strength and one of how they love each other in a loud crazy way!

We also had a new edition to our extended family and he is adorable!  Auntie Anna had a little boy named Charlie and he is so cute.  I hear little or shall I say big sister Lucy is doing a great job! We can't wait to meet him!
Until next time...
