I cannot believe that 23 months have come and gone.  It feels like only a few days ago, I was still VERY PREGO and loving it.  Now, we are creeping up on 2 YEARS!!! Seriously, at this rate they will be off to college by the end of the year.

James and Maggie are 22 months old...Today!!! (Woo-Hoo...I am posting on time this month.) As you can tell, they were not super excited about sitting in the chair for their monthly picture...

but after several tries we were able to capture the non-screaming version.

They are at such a fun age and talking so well. They are still in school 2 days a week, and they are learning so much. The love to read (be read to), play chase, stack blocks, dance, look out the window and identify everything they see. We are so excited about their growing excitement to learn...everyday they remember something new from the previous day. They love to talk on the phone to their Grandparents, and often ask to call them. They are full of questions and able to use words for most everything they want or DON'T want. They are so loving and want to remember specific things in their nighttime prayers. They can tell you the correct color of anything, after they say yellow (for some reason, everything is yellow to begin...this is very funny to them). They LOVE fruit...they like veggies, but fruit is number 1 and cheese is number 2. I am thankful for good eaters, but I need to plant an orchard to keep up with the demand.

We feel so blessed to be their parents; we only hope to bless their lives as much as they have blessed ours!
