Daniel

Wow, has this little guy grown up in the last six months! Check out his last update in April.
October is for Daniel, but he would correct me. He would say, "No, "D" is for Daniel"; he knows his letters and numbers! Daniel loves to sing, and pretty much sang all day long every day when he stayed here with us while Mommy and Daddy went to the DR for a couple of weeks. He sang "B-I-N-G-O" and "Old MacDonald Had a Farm" many, many, many times; luckily sings right on pitch! Daniel loves slides and running and parks and takes his nasty medicine without protest. He loves to take turns, and knows exactly whose turn it is at any given moment. He is an early riser; he got up at 6:15 AM every morning while his parents were gone, but would just quietly come down the stairs to look around or would stay up in the room reading books until the others woke up. Pancakes are his favorite breakfast and he ate big stacks every morning. We love Daniel!!!

September Spencer!

September was the month of Spencer. Look at him! He is now a pre-school attender, a fun big brother who plays nicely with his little sister, and part of the Sunbeam soccer team. Spencer listens to everything that grownups say, so he is learning a lot! He has a sweet spirit that loves to testify, and bears his testimony in every family home evening, which brings the rest of us to tears. Life is pretty good for this young man, and we love him to pieces!!
