Not a ton to share this week. The kids are so much fun right now as they have so much fun together. Our house is full of smiles and laughter. Daniel is wanting to be moving so much. He is so wiggly and actually started showing that he wants his blanket when going to bed and eating. Clara is trying so many new sounds. She copies, like most kids, and right now the funny thing she says, which is my fault, "Oh no . . . or shoo (shoot)" We laugh because when Scott gets home she knows he goes downstairs to go to the bathroom and she walks around saying, "poop?"  "yes Clara daddy is going poop" and she knows when we are getting ready to leave and she goes through the whole process, and says, "socks, shoes, hat, jacket etc." She is also very excited about washing her hands WITH soap. She is identifying cars and buses . . . she loves the signing time videos. I bought her some glitter shoes at goodwill and she loves them. She is such a good helper. She gets Daniel his blanket when he cries and toys when he needs it. She is getting more comfortable with the word "mine" so there is some grabbing I need to 'fix.'

Daniel still has crazy rashes that I have no idea what to do with but we will be headed to the doctor soon to see what is up. He also has two teeth now and is figuring out how they work. He bit his own finger the other day and cried. It was cute. He is eating two jars of baby food at each meal and keeping me on my toes making baby food. The Ninja from Dawn is amazing and SO helpful. Daniel loves watching Clara and smiles and laughs at her. He is in 12 month clothes now so keeping the right sizes in the closet feels like a full-time job.

I finished my parenting class so now I know everything about raising perfect kids and how to get them to do everything I want when I want them to do it. I just have to convince them that I am the master. :)

Scott is still working his tale off and doing an amazing job at serving his clients and company. It is a tough time as I am about done at around 5 but he gets home at 6. We still just about pass out around 8 when the kids go to bed but at least we get a few hours together.

I am super excited about moving into our new church building and wonder how our family will fit in to the community. I sure am hoping that Scott can get to a point at work where he is able to enjoy getting involved a bit more. We are still navigating what that means for us or maybe I should say I am trying to navigate that.

We love you guys and enjoy our phone calls so maybe we will try again tonight. (Sunday)
