Long Overdue Update

So much for updating this monthly... or quarterly... or on any regular basis.  Oh well.  As usual, words first, then pictures.

Rose completed her first year of preschool and starts her second year tomorrow.  This past summer, Daddy coached her in her second year of totball.  All of the other coaches were impressed with her hitting and had to keep telling their players to move back.  Rose is a smart, active, and tall kid.  She loves riding her bike (still with training wheels) and running with Daddy.  She also loves playing with her friends, coloring and making things, and pretending she's a Ninja Warrior or superhero.

After worrying if Jacob would ever talk, now we're wondering if he'll ever stop.  He's talking in complete sentences, and his facial expressions are hilarious.  He'll even make up jokes which of course he finds hilarious.  Jacob doesn't realize he's not one of the big kids, as he's always playing with Rose's preschool friends or trying to join in Rose's totball games.  He loves to run and jump everywhere.  And he's just starting to learn how to use a potty.

Onto the pictures....
