The little people

So life Has changed a bit this summer. We sold our house, and are currently living with Nathan's parents. We are hoping to get our house built in Midway by late spring of next year..... We shall see :)

The girls seriously love living with their nana and grandpa, they couldn't be more thrilled! They are so funny, I remember dreading having to go see my grandparents as a kid, but not these girls! If they had their choice they old spend every waking minute with grandparents.

Rebecca-

Starts first grade in a few shorts weeks! Ahhh! I mean seriously?! Im not sure how this is happening, especially since I'm only 18 :) but whatever to math and logic. She could not be more thrilled, she reminds me daily that she gets to stay the WHOLE day long this go around, and that she gets to bring her lunch box. She really has become quite an excellent little reader, she amazes me. Do you remember those parties in elementary school that you could attend for reading a certain amount of hours? Ya I never attended them because I refused to read. She also loves to sing, play dress ups, dance and do anything and everything involving some form of craft.

Rachel-

Is content to follow her sister around for the most part, and tease the crap out of her :) no not always she just loves Becca. When she wakes in the morning the first words out of her mouth are "where is Becca"? She also is still a sugar hound, loves Thomas the train, loves baths, loves to sing to herself, loves teasing, loves her blanket, and hates HATES to get her face wet. This is a challenge when it come to pool time and baths. She loves to be in the water, but will flip if her face gets wet! We actually had to pull her out of swim lessons due to her screaming every 2 minutes. She can be so sweet and so sour, but we sure love our Ray bug.

Livy-

Is into anything and everything these days, not a day goes by where I don't find her covered in something sticky, or marker covering her face. She is also super strong, she can pull herself up onto anything. I think I spend most of the day pulling her off of counter tops, and high bar stools, that she will otherwise just walk right off of with out even blinking an eye. Becca and Ray were not like this little bug, she has spiced things up a bit! Livy loves a good laugh, loves to be tickled, loves sausage, loves her blanket, loves to talk in her own little language, loves to sit on anything her size, and loves to be around her big sisters. My favorite thing she does lately is she will come over to where I am, point her little chubby finger at me and jibber jabber like she is saying something real important, then give me this look like "ok did you get that"? Then walk away and repeat that same thing 10x's over. Also when doesn't want to give you the time of day she won't, she will just ignore you, and if she does acknowledge that you are their she will give you this look with out an ounce of interest in her face, just total a deadpan expression. Her vocabulary consists of.... Hi, bye bye, there go (meaning there you go) bye nana, ok, peash (please) tan due (thank you).
