As long as it's not lead based...

So we had Becca and James over for Family night this last week... I was sick so I didn't really plan anything and we watched Wall-e while the girls played in the other room. We were sitting there watching and talking and the girls were in the other room just giggling. When Jer went to check on them... they were standing on the little kid table and licking the wall... Whatever floats their boat I guess.

Proud of Alll

I've just been so impressed with what everyone around me is doing that I felt like I should take a moment and give them all a nod of appreciation.

Jer has been training for a marathon... he ran 18 miles today. My sister has been really working hard to finish school and will be the President of her honor society next semester as well as applying to do a masters degree. A friend of mine who has never been athletic has just started running and is doing really well. Another friend and her husband just signed the contract on their very first house. My other sister has been working hard to lose weight... I don't know how much she has lost so far but I know it's at least 60 lbs. My sister in law has been taking wedding pictures and is marvelous. My brother is just getting his first salary paid job... and is probably going to be making more than most people make on their first one. Ada is starting to talk in sentences and going to nursery on her own. My mother in law has figured out why she's had insomnia for the last 10 years and has finally been able to start getting full nights of sleep. What great and amazing people to be accomplishing so much! I'm excited for all of them.

Here are some more pictures of Ada! My favorites... of course.

Ada was reading books in our entry way and it was fun to watch all of her facial expressions while she read.
