We're anything but organized right now, so here's just some random stuff.
All of our kids are growing like crazy.

| Her hair is...a mess. The bottom half is super curly and the top is a floppy wave. Thus, the curlers on top. |
Our shy little Erin went through a total transformation when she turned 2. By the picture above, you may think it was for the worst, but that's not really the case. She won't go running to a stranger or anything, but she's much more social and even starting going to nursery by herself! She also talks...all the time. She likes to "mommy" all of us. When it's time to eat, she gets after Ben if he doesn't come right to the table. If someone doesn't have a drink, she tells me to get them one. If you finish your food, she asks if you need more. It's pretty darn cute. We were worried she would think Noah was her baby and maul him, but usually she tells me what to do for him and does the same for her baby doll. She's so entertaining to watch and listen to. I love this girl. Oh, and she'll eat just about anything! She loves all meat & fruit and begs for things like salsa and pickles. Last night she had to dip her sandwich in spicy brown mustard!
And then there's Ben. This kid lives in a land of imagination, sometimes it's hard to get him to focus back here in reality. He's recently taken an intense interest in coloring . Above is his rendition of a T-Rex. I don't know that he has any exceptional talent, it's just interesting to watch, considering he'd barely spend 2 minutes with a crayon 6 months ago. He also loves to write letters and is trying to sound out words. It's been fascinating to watch this stage of rapid development. Ben is also a GREAT big brother. He loves to teach Erin how to do things and puts up with her wrecking his Lego creations with a laugh. Whenever Noah fusses Ben comes to ask me what he needs. Love you Ben!

| We've decided that the term "starving artist" comes from the fact that the artist is too busy creating to worry about silly things... like food! |
A mom always worries how her child(ren) are going to adjust to the big change of adding a new member to the family. I'm still amazed at the fact that it hardly seemed to phase these two. They love their brother, but aren't overly concerned. They don't seem to get jealous when I'm holding or feeding him. I couldn't have asked for a better outcome. I'm one lucky mommy!

| Classic Erin attitude face. I'm noticing a pattern of curled hair=attitude! |

| Sweet kisses for Noah! |

Random pics of Noah
1 month birthday!
I'm posting all 3 kids around the same age to try and figure out the age old question of who Noah looks like. I should find baby pics of Brandon and I, but this will have to do for now. We see a lot of Ben in him, but they all seem to have their own look to them.

And lastly, a shot with my traditional ice cream birthday cake. It was so good. To celebrate the day, I got out of the house...and went to primary.
