How exciting! We got a call from our principal yesterday saying Tanner did really well in his math placement testing. Congrats Tanner! Way to go! He's enjoying his new school and friends! He's also tearing up the fields in soccer lately. He's a joy to watch grow.
Eva is really trying to walk! She grabs our hands and shouts "WAAAAk WAAAAAAAAAK!" and then we know she wants a little walking support. She is hilarious. She's been funny lately, tickling people's toes and then laughing hysterically, growling like a little bear and saying "Oooooo" for "scary." She is also constantly kissing everyone. She's really growing up quickly and it is so fun to watch!
Grace is doing really well, all things considered. She's extremely tired, but she tries really hard to keep up with everything. Yesterday, she was up for a trip out of the house. Our options are limited, as she can't be in crowds, but she thought she'd like to go to the corner market for treats for her siblings. She was able to walk about 1/4 of a block-which is really wonderful-since it has been hard for her to even walk up the stairs at home. So, we were really proud of her efforts! She tries so VERY hard! (these pictures were taken at the zoo the day before she got so sick and went to Doernbecher's. Surprising, huh! You'd almost never know she was sick!)

ok... i've got to come and see you guys again. I feel like I'm missing out on this cool stuff! Eva walking? Too cute! And, it does my heart good to see Grace smiling and looking so good! And.. I of course Tanner is the smartest kid around. He has really (seriously) given me hope that my boys can turn out as sweet, smart, kind, and funny too!
