Lake just turned six months old. He is as cute as ever. Seriously, I would love to have another baby if I knew he/she would be as easy as Lake. He is starting to eat some baby food, mostly fruits and vegetables. He wants to crawl, but just doesn't have the motor coordination for it yet. He is sitting in a high chair and has decided high pitch yelling is his new form of communication. No luck in sleeping through the night yet, but we're making it.
Hannah will be eight next month. This is so hard to believe. She will be finishing up 2nd grade soon. Hannah is a great student who really likes school. It would be amazing to see her potential if she would actually apply herself. She likes to get by with as little effort as possible in everything she does. Right now she is involved in baton and basketball. For some reason, she absolutley loves baton lessons and has gotten quite good at it. Basketball has been going well. Hannah has a height advantage right now which helps a lot. You never know, but it appears that she is going to be tall. She is constantly outgrowing her clothes and shoes. Here she is in purple (the one who looks like she is getting ready to fly).
Meredith will be four next month. She has been sick for about a week now and hopefully she is finally on the mend. Thank goodness for grandparents! When we had Hannah, everybody kept telling us to wait until the "terrible twos". When she turned two, we were like big deal, that was nothing. Then she turned three and our lives changed dramatically. Meredith has followed in her footsteps. Three has been really rough. She is sweet as can be sometimes and then we wonder what happened to our precious little girl. Some crazy monster takes over and there is no reasoning with her no matter how hard you try. It's interesting though, because she never acts like this for anyone else or in front of anyone else. Meredith is going to start soccer this spring and is really excited about it. It will be interesting having two children in sports.
Josh and I are doing great. Busy with work and raising three kids. It takes quite a bit of coordination to get everyone where they need to be, but we're getting into a routine. Well, I'm off to church for Ash Wednesday.
