Besides being very busy, things are going very well with our family. Luke will be 3 on Friday, and he just started preschool last week. So far he loves it! He's always asking when he's going back to school.
Drew is doing great in 2nd grade. He doesn't like it as much as 1st grade, but maybe once they really get into the swing of things he'll like it more. He has his first spelling test on Friday.
Karly is doing really well. She walks all the time now, and she's really good at it. She doesn't say much, but she seems to understand what we tell her most of the time. She had strep throat last week, so she was miserable. She's cutting the 2 molars on the bottom and she's a bit fussy from that, but usually she's very happy. The evening is when she gets the fussiest, she just wants to be held from 4pm-7pm. She goes to bed at 7pm and wakes up at 7:30am. Then she takes a 1 1/2 hour nap in the morning and a 2 hour nap in the afternoon. There was a time when she first came home that I thought the child would never sleep, and now she's a wonderful sleeper, thank goodness! Luke continues to try to bully her and push her down, but he seems to be getting better with it. And she seems to be starting to learn how to fight back and she'll try to hit him! I will really have my hands full when she can talk and is able to get into more of his things. Drew is wonderful with her, he loves his little sister!

Here's a quick Karly update for you: She is really starting to take off with her walking. As I'm typing this, she is walking around our playroom. She doesn't use walking as her primary mode of transportation yet, but she will just all of a sudden stand up from a sitting position and then start walking towards something. It's so cute to see her little steps. I think her record so far is about 15 steps. She loves to climb on everything, and she loves to play in dirt!

Today we took the kids to Lake Tobias Wildlife Park. We had so much fun! The kids loved all the animals. We took a safari tour, and they had lots of baby animals to look at. My favorites are always the monkeys, but the baby zebra and bears were adorable!

Today at church we had a Dedication Ceremony for both Drew and Karly. Luke was Dedicated in 2006. It went well and the kids looked so cute all dressed up. The picture of Karly in her white dress is from this day.

We've had a busy past few days! On Thursday we went to Indian Echo Caverns, Friday we went to Strasburg Railroad to see Thomas the Tank Engine, and yesterday Drew and I went to see the 2nd Chronicles of Narnia movie with my mom and sister.
Hope you like the new pics of Karly, doesn't she just look so pretty in teal?! She's wearing the new outfit that her Nanny bought her. :) She is still doing really well, and is definately on a predictable nap schedule, thank God for that. I thought the child would never take real naps! And she's been sleeping through the night the majority of the time, sometimes she wakes up once. She has a contagious smile and is always laughing and smiling at people when we're out and about. Everyone at our church loves her, she's always smiling at someone!
She's taken some of her first steps, but she's not walking yet. She hasn't gotten any new teeth since she came home, she still only has 8 teeth. I'm wondering if she's ever going to get any more. She can say mom, dada, papa, hi, bubble, uh-oh, and she has a word for Drew but it doesn't sound too much like Drew yet, but does seem to start with a "d" sound. She is such a joy, we're constantly hugging and kissing her!

Here is a nice video that I found on youtube. If you have a couple minutes check it out, I love the song! It's called "In my Arms" by Plumb. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ARAJ7uwnhYU

Karly is still doing really well. She finally has a nap schedule and sleeps in her crib for all naps and at night time. She takes a 1-2 hour morning nap at 9:30am, and then a 1 1/2 hour afternoon nap at 2:30pm. She goes to bed at 8pm. She usually wakes up around 11pm to eat a few ounces but then she sleeps all night and wakes up at 7:30am. Overall she is a very happy baby.
We went to Dutch Wonderland on Sunday. The boys had so much fun and Karly was very good just riding in her stroller. We saw a Thomas the Train show, so Luke of course was very excited about that. Luke rode his first mini roller coaster too, his face was precious when we would go around the turns! We had a very good evening at DW and hope to go back again soon.
