Life has felt so crazy busy lately!! I don't know if it's the holidays or what but if feels like it's been nuts!! So to recap the last little bit of our lives...today we had the kid's well child checks, Sam's now 30lbs and 4oz! Finally gaining some weight and height, in the 50th percentile for weight and 70th for height!! She's behind in knowing her colors, but way advanced in reading/counting her numbers! I have a feeling she will be excel in math and science like the Chamberlin side of the family (my dad and his dad are both extremely intelligent in math/science!!)! She's talking better and apparently is right on track there too. We started potty training, well we've kind of been easing into it I guess you could say. Today she made it to the potty chair four different times and had no accidents after her diaper was off...yay there may be hope that my kid's potty trained before the age of ten!! She's still singing "happy birthday" to herself and it's been a month since her party :) Her favorite tv show has made a drastic change from Dora and is now Kung Fu Panda since last week...I think that's all we watch!! She's been enjoying helping me wrap everyone's Christmas presents lately and always tells me "good job Mom, give me five" whenever I cut the wrapping paper :) (that's what I tell her when she goes potty lol). Tonight we made a gingerbread house and finished putting up the outside lights, both of which she loved!!
Now onto Elijah...the day before Thanksgiving Eli figured out how to crawl and has been perfecting it since!! Let's just say the gate at our house is always closed!! He got his two top teeth in just before Thanksgiving as well so he's now a four toothed kid who thinks he can eat just about anything :) Today at his check up he weighed less than I would've guessed, only 20lbs 6oz and 28.75in...only 10in less than his sister!! He's started shaking his head no...already...so far only when he doesn't want anymore to eat, but I know it's coming quick for everything else too!! He says num num and da da so far...This lil guy LOVES his daddy!! It's so cute to see him light up whenever Michael's around!! Don't get me wrong, he loves me too, just not like he does his dad :)
Whew I think that's all there is to update with the kids...Michael and I are both settling into our jobs really well! We have been extremely blessed with the jobs we have up here!! We are still praying our house in Twin will sell but also know that we have not been dealt anymore than we can handle. God has been amazing at providing thus far and I know He will be faithful to continue. So far we've tried out two different churches and will continue to try out more...we're trying to give each church about a month before deciding and would like to try out all that we think we may like before making a decision...which is difficult considering Michael's only had one Sunday off so far!! Ah and onto the fun stuff, the pictures...Here are a few pictures from tonight when we decorated some outside and did a gingerbread house and then further down are from my inlaws house at Thanksgiving...
