Look what I ironed today!

Evidence of a blessed life.

As I was ironing Mike and the boys shirts for church tonight, I was thinking of how I get the privilege to iron these three mens shirts for the rest of my life (Well, Mike's for the rest of my life, and the boys until they have a bride.)


A few updates going on:

- The boys decided yesterday that it was time to do some walkin'! They began a month or so back, but haven't really acted interested since then. Jeremiah will stand on his own, without holding onto anything, and will take a step or two, but that was about it for the past month. Yesterday as we were playing, Jeremiah stood up and just walked across the room. Michael, on the other hand, as shown absolutely NO INTEREST at all! I was concerned that he would be a month behind his brother, but after a morning of Jeremiah walking, I guess Michael knew he had it in him the whole time (that stinker!). In the afternoon, Michael just started walking by himself! We spent a good bit of today practicing some more and they will now just walk to a toy or something instead of someone prompting them!

- Their new favorite word is "hi." Right when you walk in their room to get them up from a nap you will hear "HI" about 18 times per baby! It is precious!

- Jeremiah really enjoys anything that is circular, round and he will call it a ball! (In the sweetest voice you have EVER hear, "baawhl" We went to an antique store yesterday and in a far corner was a volleyball. He can point out any ball in a crowded room. I hear very softly, "Baawl". I look for the ball and see it and agree that he is correct that it is a ball, then I walk on. Once that ball was out of his sight you would have thought he was just told that he would never have another meal! He lost it - until another ball was in his sight!

- We are practicing manners at the table lately. We are working on not screaming, whining, throwing food, or throwing our cups. I think we have mastered the "No rocking" rule but we are still working on the others. The boys now say "Thank You" when they are given their cup and they know they signs for Please, More and All Done. When Jeremiah is breaking a rule and I correct him he will say "ooohhhh" Like, "Oh Mom, I get it! Sorry!"

Can they seriously get any cuter?

Look at those silly boys!



Mike and I went and finally got our tag and drivers license switched over to Alabama. Yes, it is about 10 months late, and yes we paid for it! It was very costly especially since we had to pay the taxes since October and we will have to turn around and pay taxes for the next year starting next month. I was actually excited to have a new drivers license picture but also nervous that you have one shot and you have to live with it for the next 4 years. I think mine turned out pretty good, but poor Mike looks loopy in his. He blinked right when the guy took it and they didn't give him a re-shot. So his eyes are half open - poor thing.
Here is Mike and I practicing for our picture in the car!!!

(We have a friend that SERIOUSLY took her driver's license picture with that face - so we thought it would be funny to do it for ours. But then we realized we would have to live with that picture for four whole years!)
