Great Pictures and Memories

Ethan is a great big brother to his sisters. He loves helping and playing with them. His knowledge and understanding of the Bible is amazing to me. He has such a great memory, once something goes in, it's in! We are trying to fill him will as much biblical knowledge was we can. I just bought the Steve Green "Hide 'em in your Heart" cds. Not only does he have all the songs memorized, but he has what Steve Green says before each song memorized. He is not officially old enough for school, but is doing a great job. He works so hard and is really good at sounding out his letters to write words.
Elizabeth is our little ball of energy and joy. She is becoming a really good big sister and is doing at playing with and protecting Elisea. She still jumps into everything head first, which gets her into trouble. Although she is doing better. She is also doing great at school. I'm really working on counting with her, cutting, and pencil coordination. She is getting much better at coloring and tracing. Her thing for the summer was flip flops or as she calls them plop plops. She wanted some just like mommy's.
Elisea is up at with the chickens and is on the go till bedtime. She loves her big brother and sister and will follow them anywhere. She is starting to talk and even though her vocabulary is limited she can definitely voice her opinion. Words for her are mommy, daddy, doddy (doggie), hi, nigh nigh (night night), oh oh, no. Most of the time she is happy just playing with her sister and brother, pretty easy to entertain. She is starting to be a girly girl, carrying her purses around and wearing dress-up hats. But like Elizabeth she also like to play trains and trucks and catepillar worms. Well balanced girls I guess. She has also become attached to the purple care bear and sleeps with it every night. I love how she carries it around the house by it's little arm.
