A little update


I think it's time for a little blog update.  It's crazy how fast time goes by.  In our last blog, Quinn was just starting to walk, now he is a running, talking, energetic little boy.  We are so blessed by him daily.  He is quite the talker and repeats almost everything he hears which makes me think of the song "Oh be careful little ears what you hear."  (Sooo true!)  He can sing the entire alphabet, count to ten and sing "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star".  A few words he has learned from Daddy, "GO CARDINALS!!" and "Booyah!!"  The best part is when he says "I love you".  It seems anything he hears, he can instantly repeat.

I (Martha) decided to take a little time off of work, which has been a little hard, but has allowed us to plan a few trips on the weekend.  We were able to go to Grant's Farm in St. Louis, and The Children's Museum while visiting friends in Indianapolis.

I have been able to get my house clean again now that I have extra time! :)  I also have been doing a little crafting.  I made a shower curtain for the master bathroom. (It's a stand up shower and I was never able to find a pattern I liked.)  Today, I started working on the baby's room.  It's interesting that I had Quinn's room finished almost 3 months before he was born, and now I'm just starting on Piper's room 6 weeks before she is due.  Yikes!! I better get going.

This is for all of those who do not have Facebook access.  Quinn is becoming quite the walker.  He took his first steps on his own on December 17th.
