Me Too!!

We signed Daniel up for gymnastics again for the next few weeks. I found that he remembered a lot of the stuff he learned from it, and he even said it made him feel special. Wednesday the lessons started again, and when we got there the coach asked why I didn't sign Rachel up for it too. With my two month old in tow I said I didn't know if I could help out with Rachel and watch the little one, and she mentioned that they would help out and it wouldn't be a problem. So we tried it out and Rachel was a pro! She listened to the instructor, and was all over the different apparatus, jumping, crawling, running, just like the rest of them! Rachel's catch phrase is "Me Too", and it still surprises me how much she picks up and is able to do.

I have been wanting to get back into jogging, so last weekend we bought a double jogging stroller off of Craigslist, to add to our single one, so we could take all three kids for a jog. We got this idea from the Thorson's, and we just run in the local cemeteries. We did it a few time this week after work, and it is a fun thing we can do with the kids without driving anywhere. The kids seem to enjoy it too, but it is getting a little cooler so we are going to need to bundle the kids up!

In the mean time Noah is now two months old, and really starting to show his personality. He has a little curl that forms on the top of his head, and he just wants to be a part of what the other two are doing. After Daniel and Rachel go to bed, I notice that Noah tends to coo and interact more, he finally gets a chance to talk!
Here are the kids playing at gymnastics, Rachel is in the lower right hand corner.

We have a very low key next few days, the quiet before our trip to Disney World. The plan is to pack this weekend, we need to start putting away the summer clothes anyways, and the countdown for the trip is on (I got that idea from the Libby's, we have the number of days left on the refrigerator so the kids hopefully have some concept of when the trip will happen). I am actually looking forward to the plane ride, yes it won't be easy, but Daniel and Rachel have their carry on luggage, and it is a joy to watch the new experiences through their eyes. But still, if you think of us next Thursday, send up a prayer for the family with three seat, and five people, on the early flight heading to Florida!
