Wow, a few months have passed since our last post. We've been busy having fun and busy otherwise. What have we been up to? . . .
We spent a week at the beach with good friends.

We joined in on many fun fall activities, making a trip up to Burt's Farm to see the BIGGEST pumpkins we have ever seen.
We happily celebrated Christmas. We reenacted the birth of Jesus both at home and around the home, getting to see our first real camel at a Live Nativity. We relished lots of time with friends and family.
The kids are doing great. Poem is talkative and building sentences. She is affectionate and caring - the first to try and pacify a situation, to kiss your ouchies, and she offers her most prized possession, her own blankie, to mend wounds. She is bouncy, fun and playful and follows in her brother's footsteps, literally! Noble is a good big brother and loves to play with (and bug!) his little sister. He's developed quite a good kick (like his Dad) and loves to play soccer and throw things (inside the house, yes - soft things!) He still loves books; we just read a good one, "The Incredible Book Eating Boy", which reminds us of Noble.
