Update

Well something has happened to our memory stick for the camera - we will have to get another one. So for now I thought I would just give a written update...
Let's see...Mal has been doing some day trips to Knoxville and Nashville with work, he is enjoying his job, he is has discovered the joys of using a smoker and we have had a couple of successful events (I have a feeling we are going to be eating a lot of bbq this summer! :)

Jonas is getting more independent and pushing his limits daily. He is saying more words lately...hot (everything is hot at the moment), mama (finally!:), daddy, sis, bath (although it sounds more like ba), cracker (or his version), juice, shoes, bye, hi...I'm sure there are more but I can't think of any more at the moment. He is starting to climb up on chairs and he finds things to stand on to get where he wants to go. He is opening drawers and unloading the contents in record speed! Overall, he is a very busy and friendly little guy who loves to laugh and have fun.

Emma Grace is blowing bubbles, cooing and talking, kicking her legs, holding her head up without so much bobbing. Last night was the first night we put her in her crib in their room. I was thinking back to the 3 day rule with Jonas to get him to sleep in his room and I am hoping that 3 days is all it will take with our little princess. Last night she woke Jonas up every time she started crying but then this morning when he was hollering for me to come get him - she slept right through it! I guess that is half the battle...:)

As for me, I am enjoying having the summer off to spend time with the babies and get some projects completed. I am learning to adjust to a new schedule, how to be productive (but not discouraged if I don't accomplish all I set out to do), taking walks, and catching up with friends!

Well...I guess that is all for now...hopefully we will have some pictures to share soon!
