A quick update

Last weekend, Kate and McKinley went to Jumping Jelly Beans to celebrate their friend Karson's birthday. The kids (and adults) had a great time. Most of my pictures were to blurry from all the movement, but I thought I would share these 2 of Kate and McKinley.

Most of the time, I am not that amused by my very early riser, but this morning I couldn't help but laugh and had to grab my camera for a quick picture!

This is what woke Andy & I up this morning!

McKinley amazes me everyday. One day this week, we were riding home in the car and he started spelling color words. He said "Hey mom did you know that b-l-a-c-k spells black!" He has an incredible teacher this year and Andy and I can see him learning and taking everything in like a sponge. We have also been practicing writing on his new easel that Santa brought him. McKinley is a little hard for him to write, so we have been working on just "MAC" and the other day he wrote "mommy". There is nothing sweeter than seeing that written in the sloppy innocent toddler handwriting. One of McKinley's favorite things to do lately is to draw "scary monsters" for us. Here is one of his masterpieces!

**Baby Marley Ann Update**

I am now 35 weeks....yeah! As of the last doctors visit, here is the plan. Marley Ann is measuring and growing just perfect so at 38 weeks, if all is still well, they are going to try and "jump-start" my labor and try to get me to go into labor on my own. If I don't go on my own that week, they will induce me at 39 weeks. I am hoping for a baby the week of Feb.16th instead of the following week because Feb 27th is McKinley's birthday and I would really like atleast a week between their birthdays!
