Too Quick:

Eden: 4-8-10

Kael's Mischief

Time is passing too quickly. Derek might think otherwise with graduation around the corner. I want time to slow down at home and class time for Derek to speed up.

Updates:
Derek: School has been very hectic and crazy trying to throw everything in at the last minute before graduation. He has 4 presentations this next week and then finals right after. On Wednesday night we went to an Honors Ceremony for the school and Derek was awarded Biology student of the year and he will be graduating with Honors of Magna Cum Laude. He will be getting his announcements for graduation out next week, so look for it in the mail.

Sharice: I’m busy being wife and mom. I’m working in the mornings again for my brothers and love playing with Kael all day and Eden all night. Our anniversary was April 15th and we weren’t planning anything because of our crazy lives, but Derek still managed to make it fun and special for me. He took me and the kids to breakfast and then he had to go to school, but when he got home he took us all to the park. Eden got some sunshine and Kael learned how to go down the slide all by himself. It was so fun and I couldn’t have asked for a better day!

Kael: The kid never slows down. He is always getting into everything and trying to figure out new things. (Things Kael gets into: trash, diapers, wipes, baby powder, lotion, toilet, toilet paper, plants, etc etc.) He has been so fun lately showing how smart he is. The kid LOVES to dance and sing. His new favorite movies are Alvin and the Chipmunks 1 & 2. His first favorite movies were Finding Nemo, then Ice Age 1,2,&3. It is so fun to see his little personality and it’s fun when he starts shimmying his shoulders and then stomping his feet in place. He came up with his dance moves on his own and it is hilarious! At bath time I’ve started trying to teach him body parts, and so we’ve been singing a lot of head shoulders knees and toes and he is getting so much better at pointing to body parts. He can say eyes now too which is cute. And he is the only kid in his nursery class that doesn’t cry. He hasn’t cried once and last Sunday when Derek went to check on him all 6 or so kids were crying and Kael was just playing, but he looked sad because he couldn’t understand why everyone was crying.? I mean, come on there were so many fun toys what is the need to cry? Kael loves his sister and wants to make her happy. He always wants to touch her, but doesn’t know how so he stands by her and just starts shaking his hands crazy. It’s cute. He is such a good kid and we love him to pieces! He is my joy! He teaches me to be a better person each day and to see the joy in life. Love you kiddo!

Eden: She is now 5 weeks old. Where did the time go? She still has a really hard time sleeping at night. She still burps better than Kael did. However, she now spits up just as much as Kael did, which is A LOT. Her hair is thinning out except she still has this super cute patch of hair at the very bottom back of her head. It is so soft and I love it. I love her dark hair and blue eyes. She loves to be swaddled still, but really loves to sleep on her tummy like Kael did. She has survived being dragged off the couch by Kael and pestered by him. She didn’t even cry much when he pulled her off the couch. She is a sweet baby and still has an ear piercing scream when she’s mad. We love this little girl to bits and she is so precious and we love every minute with her! I can’t get enough of both of my kids and there needs to be more time in the day to spend with them.
