Kid update...

All is well here in Florida. We are about 30 minutes away from where the tornados were last week and so we were not affected. How sad that was. And we are only 30 minutes away from where the psycho astronaut drove to in her diaper. What is this world coming to?

Anyway, I hope you are all doing well. We have been praying fervently for little Brigham! We are glad that he is home and hope the recovery is fast for him. We wish we were there to hold him and love him. Those pictures of him with all the tubes and IV's was so sad! Poor little guy! Thanks for keeping us updated.

Not much has been going on around here. Matt is out of town and will get back tomorrow night late. As for the kids and I, we are starting to get out and about a little more. I decided I needed some exercise the other day and so I thought I would follow Emma on her bike and "take a little walk"....little did I know that Emma is faster then lightning! It wasn't much of a walk, it was more like I was jogging, ok sprinting! AND I didn't realize she is the energizer bunny! We went probably a mile and a half, which is a lot for an out of shape, overweight girl that just had a baby! It felt so good but the next day I had shin splints so bad! Then today we walked to our nearby park and the kids played and rode their bikes around the park. Actually Luke RAN around the trail twice! It is probably a quarter of mile around. At one of Matt's previous 5k's we were standing at the finish line and a guy comes across and starts throwing up right by us! Well Luke has never forgotten that and so today at the park he proceeds to come back from running around the trail and he leans over with his hands on his knees and starts spitting. Then he is telling everyone he ran a 5k :).

Emma's new thing is she likes to pretend her name is Jayla. When she is Jayla she calls me Sara and acts like she is just over at my house visiting for the first time. She will say "I like your baby, is it a boy? What's his name? Do you like your baby? Does your boy (referring to Luke) like your baby?" Then she'll say "Can I use your restroom? Where is it?" And I have to tell her "down the hall to the right". Then she'll thank me. It is so funny to hear her ask where my bathroom is every time she needs to go! Funny girl.

Luke and Emma are so anxious for Gavin to get big. Today I put little shoes on Gavin and Luke got all excited and said "yea! then we can teach him how to walk today!" We've had a discussion that Gavin was with Heavenly Father and Jesus before he got here. So now when Gavin is staring up into space they say he is looking at Heavenly Father and Jesus. Then he turned his head and looked out the window and Emma said "now Heavenly Father and Jesus are out there" (pointing out the window where Gavin was looking!)

We just signed Luke and Emma up for soccer, and they are sooooooooo excited! I can't wait to see how Emma does. We'll keep you updated.
