Well, it's official. I've joined the blogging community. We've actually had this website for a long time and now we are finally putting it to use. There's a lot of pressure to make our blog entertaining, especially since all of you seem to be quite skilled in this area! So....the only subject in our lives that keeps us entertained is our kids! Andelin is 3 and Austin is 1. Jake and I have to be on our toes to keep up with them! They are both so cute and fun. We are amazed to watch their individual personalities emerge more and more each day. Austin is a very determined and stubborn child (we can't understand where he gets it!). But at the same time he is very happy and loving. He is very charming. He wants to be just like his older sister and imitates most of what she does. But he has also taken to teasing her as well. There is no shortage of screams and cries in our home. Andelin is growing up so fast. Jake says she is becoming more and more like her mom, but I see a lot of her dad in her as well. I'm awed by her intelligence. She asks a lot of questions, but it's cute to watch her learn. Just the other day she was pretending to call people on her phone. She called her Aunt Amy, Aunt Brooke, Aunt Laura, and then said she was going to call her "Aunt Adam". (Adam happens to be Laura's boyfriend, but I figured it was okay for her to think he was related!). I decided to try to explain to her that boys were Uncles and girls were Aunts. She seem to understand it and we moved on to other things. Later that day we were outside and Andelin said, "Mom there's a bug!". I said, "What kind of bug?" She said, "I think it's an ant". I said, "Oh?". And then she looked back down at it and said, "No, I think it's an uncle". It was so funny and cute. I didn't bother to explain it. I'm sure we'll cover that another day. The only thing I'm wondering is....what is she thinking about her real Aunts? |
