Here's some Chuck-E-Cheez pics
Picnic at the park


Sleeping in on my Bday
My sister is growing a lot too. She will be 1 year old in just a few days. She has sooo many new tricks. Let me just brag about her for a minute: She can clap, she gives you an open mouth kiss if you ask for it, she can stand on her own for about 20 seconds, then plops down, she can take a couple steps, SHE SAID HER FIRST WORD!!!!!, it was "Doggie!". Now she says it all the time. She stands at the sliding glass door and screams at the dog outside saying, "Doggie, Doggie, Doggie!" See video. She now also says, "thank you" and "hi". She also waves hello and goodbye. It's just too cute when she waves. She's very bashful and has the most beautiful smile. She gives a little wiggle dance when you turn the music on. She's not quite as musically inclined as I am though. Faylen now has 8 teeth and LOVES to eat. In fact, mom and dad call her a garbage disposal. She ate 2 whole pieces of pizza at Chuck-E-Cheez! She eats about twice as much as I do and she's NOT at all picky. Hopefully she gets her dad's metabolism. She likes to hide her face and play peek-a-boo. And she finally figured out how to use a sippy cup.


We are settling into our new home. We absolutely love it! It's so fun and nice. Mom and dad seem really happy. After several nights of staying up till three in the morning they are finally done with most of the painting and major jobs. Now it's just hanging up stuff and decorating, which is mom's favorite. My sister and I have a really fun room. It's blue! Dad put up really nice Waisnscot wood paneling on the lower half of the room. It looks really nice. I like to shoot hoops with dad in the driveway and go in the backyard and climb on the hill with the Magnus.
Uncle Josh came to visit for a few days before he flew off to Israel to be with Grandma, Grandpa and Auntie Shosh. It was fun to see him. He helped a lot on moving day. Actually lots of people helped us a lot. Thank you to everyone who helped. Everyone in Israel is having an amazing time. Mom, the traveler, is soooo jealous of her family and wishes she could be there with them. They have been going to amazing places traveling all around the country. They have seen Jerusalem, Tel Aviv, Cesaria, the Wailing Wall, the Sea of Galilee, the Dead Sea and so much more. They all say that it's really beautiful and that it's amazing how they feel God's presence in the Promise Land. I bet that's inevitable when you are walking where Jesus walked.
We went to my friend Sammie's pool party and daddy dunked me in the water 100 times. Faylen went swimming in a pool for the first time and loved it. The cold water didn't faze her at all. She woulda stayed in the water all day. Thanks for the fun birthday party Sammie!
Can't wait to see you all at our birthday party!
Love, Li'l John

I want to see more pics of the house! I can't believe how big Magnus is and of course the kiddos. I love the picture of John sleeping on your pillows - was it his birthday present or yours that he slept until 10AM?
what sweet kids!!! if faylen is anything like ellie, then she is all girl, but having an older brother definitely toughens her up a bit. younger sisters with older brothers can definitely hold their own. love the videos.
