Stuck

What at first started out as maybe unintentional has turned into a game. When the ottoman is pushed all the way to the couch Ezra likes to get stuck in between. He calls for help but as soon as he is freed he goes back again. The two of them had a blast getting stuck in the couch. 

On a close up of my sweet guy. Dirty face and all. He just got his hair cut and I'm kinda sad not to see the blonde shaggy hair anymore.

Ezra 21 months

My, how this boy is changing. Sadly I haven't gotten any real pictures of him lately so an iphone picture will have to do. His hair is getting really long again so I'm debating whether to cut it or let him be a surfer boy. This month Ezra is talking like crazy. Not that he hasn't been verbal for awhile but for some reason he has just starting chatting non-stop. He constantly says, "Where's Daddy?," all day long. I tell him he is at work but he still manages to ask me about 10 more times. He will even tell me, "Daddy's at work." But, I guess the memory is short-lived. Now he is calling Emerson, "sister." I'm not sure why he has never said her name but now he is always calling for, "sister." All day long I hear,  "Sister, where are you?" When he wakes up from his nap, he asks where she is. When you combine that with all of his "What's that?" questions and food requests he talks all day. Currently he is obsessed with Mickey Mouse. He calls him, Mouska. As in the secret word for the clubhouse. There is also a short film called, "La Luna." It's about a little boy cleaning stars off the moon so he loves to ask to watch the star movie. Recently he was introduced to the Cars movie and absolutely found it hysterical and now loves McQueen. He is still a great eater, pretty much trying anything. Ezra is super physical and his running is getting faster each day. He loves to play football and say "hut, hut."Emerson has a scooter she got for Christmas and he is awesome at riding it. He has excellent balance for guy not even two. Ezra is amazing little guy. Sweet, loving, and funny. He has the cutest laugh and is usually laughing at his own jokes. Now that he is getting older he likes to help out. He puts his dishes away, throws away trash, and puts clothes in the washer. His future wife will be very impressed. :)

Party Planning

Party plans are in the making for this rising four year old. 
Of course we searched pinterest together for cake ideas. At the sight of the search results Emerson said,"Oh. My. Goodness. These. Are. Amazing!"

That's what friends are for

While we were at a friends house I stumbled upon Emerson and her friend inside of their reading nook quiet as can be. Emerson was receiving a haircut (Don't worry, plastic scissors.) She did need a trim. I guess that's what friends are for!

Christmas Decorating


I try to do a Christmas activity each day during December to go along with our advent countdown. But, I must admit I failed miserably this year. Between being sick and tired most of December we were lucky to do a few things I had planned, none of which were on the day I had planned. A reminder that all we really need to in advent is "wait." Not necessarily keep busy. None the less we enjoyed one afternoon of ornament painting. It started out pretty tame and I was shocked by how "clean" it was going. I went to the bathroom for 3 minutes and came back to paint covered faces. Emerson was especially proud of her face painting. I knew it wasn't going to be that easy. The kids did a great job of decorating and we ended with a much needed bath.

Our Little Cubbie

Emerson started Awawnas in September. Children from 3-middle school age memorize bible verses each week and do fun activities. At first the verses seemed hard to me for a three year old to learn. But, it really is amazing to see how she has learned them every week. This is the night she got her vest and book. She was so proud of herself! We are thankful for how God works in the hearts of our little ones. 

This is her first verse memorized. 



And the motto!
