Ok-Beck. Lets just say he's big. I mean, he's really big. Everyone we see thinks he's 6-7 months old. He will be 4 months tomorrow. Of course we think he is great and we are loving him and kissing him maybe too much! He is rolling over now, has been for a few weeks, and he's scooting all around. He loves to watch us and likes a quick tickle. The kids are great with him and love to read him books and sing to him. They call him Becka-Becka..hmm, a little girly but thats how it is.
..we got his swing up and the kids enjoy this daily 
Reid is great and crazier than ever. We are working on the sillies: learning when it appropriate and when its not. The Lord has been kind to teach us and show me how I can care for him. He's really into spelling lately. We are always talking about how to spell this or that and he is eager to read simple words, too. He started soccer a few weeks ago, and here's a pic of his first night of practice. It has been really fun and so cute to watch all those little kids running around. He had his first game last saturday and it was a blast. Today, we are going to make some "monkey cookies"(banana carob cookies) for tomorrow's snack after the game. Very exciting!!
Vara is doing well and her achievements are racking up. She is a huge help to me. She loves to help cook and clean and care for Beck. She is potty trained woo-hoo! Its been so sweet seeing Reid help her and cheer her on. Sometimes, he'll sit with her and read books, for what seems like forever, and then run to tell me she went! This seems silly to think about, but it's very exciting news around here! She also loves to play with her kitchen and tea set. Playing "store" with Reid is a new favorite. She loves to learn and do whatever Reid does--or says!
Mark and I are doing well. Here's to great husbands! Im so thankful for God's grace to us. It overwhelming to spell out all He's doing in our hearts. He is so good and generous to us!
Things are super busy with the three little ones and the holidays and new babies coming. Im having fun starting my projects..craft night girls??
Ok--in closing, here's a video from this morning of Vara reading to us. Have a great day everyone!
