When I have a lot of house hold work to get done, I send the kids to Teacher Janet's indoor play house. Steve can spend four hours there with the kids and I can do a week's worth of work!
We call Elijah "mini-me" because he is so much like Steve (messy, funny, quick to laughter, big-hearted, friends with everyone, football lover). Not only does he look and act like his dad; he hero worships his dad.
His favorite toys continue to be Super Heros and he does not give up an opportunity to wear Super Hero costumes. However sports are now his favorite activity - basketball, football, t-ball, etc.
He loves to write stories and draw pictures. His walls are covered with Star Wars, Lego Ninjago, and Despicable Me drawings he has done.
ALORA
Alora has the most tender heart. She is always willing to help her friends, her teacher, and her mom. When she went to gymnastic camp this spring break, we were told that she would help all the "injured" kids get water, etc.
She continues to LOVE animals and has no interest in dolls or princesses. She has a huge Build-A-Bear collection and more stuffed animals then her room can accommodate! She dreams of having her own cat one day.
At this moment (it is constantly changing) her two favorite activities are swimming and bike riding.
