Trying to Finish Well!

The other day Kelli was being silly and was trying to hide from Daniel under the blanket, Daniel would lift it up and try to bite whatever was showing! Then Kelli would cover herself back up. Both of them where laughing it was very infectious laughs. Also Daniel is cutting in his two top teeth!

Kelli picked up a idea from Grandma Joy, when Daddy isn't feeling Well, rub his feet like GG Joy did. Also Daniel discovered Toilet Paper the other week and how well it comes of the roll, I heard the tell tale sounds of thrumb, thrumb, "heh heh". When I walked in with camera Daniel had half the roll off, and Kelli had it stretched into the living room to tattle on him! Kids are slowly getting over colds! Shane is getting better, and I'm hanging in there! ;-)

Well it's official Daniel took his first steps last night! I have the video if anyone is interested in seeing it. If not I have a picture of him standing on his own! Kids are still snotty nosed!

Well we are recovering from the Fun & Excitement from Last week with Great Grandma Joy & Cheryl. Both kids have snotty noses this week, so out come the clorox wipes & Anti-viral kleenix. We had a bit of excitement last night Daniel stood on his own in the middle of the living room for about a couple seconds the first time & about a minute the last before Mom sweep him up in a hug of congratulations. He really would prefer to walk everywhere, but for short distances he walks with handholds. Kelli is being a very good Big Sister, playing & sharing with Daniel most times. Found out my class reunion is going to be July 15th this year. Doesn't quite feel possible. Hopefully we can head down a few days early to spend time with my folks & visit friends I haven't seen for awhile. -Kristi

Another fun tour we took while Grandma Joy & Cheryl were visiting was that of Mariners Stadium. Of course we had to spend the time waiting for the tour to start shopping. Kelli picked out the pink jacket and matching hat herself then tried pom poms & as you can see big hands. It was a neat tour got to see some fun things.

When Great Grandma Joy & Cheryl where here, we took them on a Ferry Ride to Whidbey Island and spent the day driving and exploring the Island. Of course it was windy but still a beautiful sight. Grandma Joy mentioned "how she loves Ferry rides, because there is no water to take them on in Kansas."

Great Grandma Joy came to visit for a couple days and enjoyed the Grandkids. They warmed up too her, and we walked her legs off going to see the sights.

My sister Neva reading Kelli & Daniel a story last week. They both liked the story so much Neva read it over several times. What a great Aunt!

Since Daniel is crawling better these days instead of Gliding, Kelli now racing him towards picture time. Kelli is classic hare getting distracted by various objects along the way while Daniel plugs along. Soon they will be running!
