reflecting

just reflecting on some summer pictures from last year compared to this year. what a change! jordyn can now write her name, count to 13, will be starting school in three months, and has decided she want pb&j for almost every meal. greyson says more words than i can write down in my journal, counts to 2, says "yes ewe" (aka: bless you) after someone sneezes, knows how to whistle and does it quite well, and sings "Ia-Ia-O" (aka: E-I-E-I-O) from Old McDonalds farm.
Summer 2005 jordyn- 2 1/2 greyson- 5 months

Summer 2006 jordyn- 3 1/2 greyson- 17 months

Isn't it awsome how much kids change in just a year. I love it. I'm kinda envious if you ask me of kids for that reason. Anyway, nice toilet. :)

I'm so jealous of your pool!
But I love the comparison pictures...it sure is amazing how fast they grow!

...and I can't believe you've got greyson on the potty already! Adam just turned 2 last week and I wasn't even going to attempt it for another SIX months! Good for you!! Wanna come train Adam now? lol

Amazing how much they can change in a year's time, huh? We're just starting to put John on the potty, he seems to like it so far, but it's still too early to tell.
Good luck!

Wow! Talk about some spam. Well, it is August 9, 2007 and I was just thinking about you and wondering how you were doing. I just love the special gifts you sent when Brynn was born. Let me know how things are going. :)
