OUR SON!! We are VERY proud parents!!

Abrish

This is a video of Abraham using his Ethiopian nickname, "Abrish." It also includes some funny faces :)! I just think it's SO cute how he says his name - melts me! Love this boy!!

Tea Party and Library Bags

Whitt has been asking me for a few days to have a tea party! Lowa got to go to her friends tea party for her birthday and Whitt feels like he missed out. We had one the other day and had a blast.

We also have loved going to the library which is only 5 minutes away from our house - woohoo! We made library bags today with fabric markers and the kids are so excited for the next visit.

Making our Library Bags...

Abraham's "Smile" - makes me laugh every time!

My Lowa - all things pink!

Whitt was drawing spaceships on his bag - love that boy!

Just a few extras for you to enjoy...

I caught this on tape the other night and it took everything in me not to bust up laughing. Enjoy!!

A View Through the Eyes of Whittaker

I gave Whitt the camera one day to see what he'd come up with. Here is the result...

Funny boy!

Comment of the Day

Lowa was sitting on the downstairs toilet today doing her #2 business. Of course, Whittaker decided he MUST do his #2 business at the exact same time. He started freaking out that he was going to poop his pants (just so you know, there is another bathroom upstairs that he was more than capable of using :) ). Lowa looked at him and said,

"Whitt, just stick some toilet paper in your buns!"

NICE - always a solution from that girl!

Dancing Concerts!

Life here in Gresham world has been more than full! We have been busy moving to a new city, unpacking a house, going to Ethiopia (Kristin), starting a new job (Tom), prepping for all of the holidays, keeping up with daily chores, babysitting my nieces and nephew (which in so not a chore - we love them), and on top of it, simply trying to enjoy each other! Needless to say, blogging has been #500 on my list of things to do :)! Now that we are settled into our new home, I hope to keep up better. I know many of our Bellingham friends want to see how we're doing, so I'm posting some fun dancing videos for you all! Enjoy!!

Abraham was cracking up while we were playing football (boopball). He has been so much fun and his little personality is really coming out! He is such fun!!!!

Lowa loves dancing like a ballerina. She has many of her grace-filled moves along with some bonks too! You'll see some lovely cameos by Abraham and Whittaker - they're quite funny boys!

Here's Whitt at his finest! This kid is all skin and bone - makes me smile! Don't you love his muscle moves?! He's got quite a different technique than his sister Lowa, wouldn't ya' say!?!
