Home for (over) ten months!

Some of Sarah's favorite things...

Glasses... anyone's glasses-- these happen to be big brother's. These sunglasses are HUGE (even on an adult)!

Small spaces. She thinks the laundry hamper is hilarious.... and also (ahem) the dryer. She'll climb up into the dryer and yell, "Shut da door! Shut da door!" Jason would happily oblige her request (if I let him), so I have to be on my toes if either of them are in the laundry room!

Bandaids and tape. She can spend a long time opening bandaids, removing the unsticky parts, and putting them on her legs. She does the same thing with pieces of tape.

Sarah loves spaghetti!

This one's for Grandma P.-- the weather finally cooled down a little so Sarah wore the dress you got her to church last week. Dave calls it her "business suit" dress! It is very cute!! All she needs now is a little briefcase! haha

Backyard Smores!

We bought a fire pit awhile ago and finally got around to making smores!

Back to (pre)school!

Jason started preschool last week. Can my sweet little boy be almost four?? I can't quite believe it.

Jason is our "just so" child. He appreciates organization and routines, and wants to know about the details. He is a good big brother and is great with Sarah most of the time.

Jason likes to play with her and gives her advice like, "Sarah, get down from the table or you will fall."

Good advice, right? :)

We also looked around the garage and realized that our old 12 inch bike was beyond repair (it took lots of abuse from three older brothers and finally conked out). So Jason got to take a spin on a new set of wheels.... as you can see, bike riding is serious business.

And here's Sarah, having a turn with the bike helmet.

I now have even more respect and admiration for parents of twins... even though Jason and Sarah are 16 months apart... it's a given that they want the same thing at the same time! :)
