Here's One I Missed

Look at my babies!!!!  I somehow bypassed this one when I was downloading our family shots.  Since we're printing out our blog now as a family scrapbook, I thought I'd take this time to highlight my babies:

1.  Sam @ 5 1/2 years old:  Sam is about to enter Kindergarten.  He needs to go, but I am going to muss him terribly during the day.  Shortly after this photo was taken, he lost his first tooth and the new one is springing up fast.  He can ride his bike without training wheels, loves his Jujitsu class, reads a little when he is motivated (it usually takes a stick of gum to make him want to practice), loves making Lego spaceships and is a huge helper.  Sam also can't get enough of books about volcanoes, dinosaurs or geology.

2.  Noelle @ 3 1/2 years old:  Noelle is the sweetest thing ever.  She is so loving and hugging and especially loves her little sister.  Her favorite movie is "Tangled" and I often find her singing the "Flower gleam and glow..." song while brushing her doll's hair.  She loves princesses and dressing up in her fancy socks Grandma Woolner made.  She is excellent at math and enjoys her "Little Dragons" Jujitsu class; although she would also like to try ballet (she recently told me).  Noelle surprises me at her memory for names and events.  She is also our "space cadet" running into doors and walls and people because she is off in her own little world and not paying attention to where she is walking.

3.  Ruby @ 1 year old:  Ruby is my ham.  If she has got your attention, she will want to make you laugh.  She has eight teeth and her molars are just coming through as well.  She can say the words "pretty" and "blueberry" along with the usual suspects and loves to eat.  She will sit in her high chair for hours if the food is plentiful and she will eat multiple helpings of anything I put in front of her.  Her favorites are green veggies and fruits (especially peas, blueberries and melons).  Ruby loves shoes and wants to wear them all day long--even in bed.
