Anyway...
The kids have been so much fun lately.
Elsie is running around now and, thankfully, has much better balance when Declan does a running drive-by hip check. She used to tumble over at the slightest touch but she’s gotten used to it, and stronger, so when she sees the train a-comin’ she braces and usually remains standing.
So she’s adorable and, because she has a brother like Declan, she’s tough, too. For example, she looks great in a dress and plays with trucks:
She also started singing. “Di-eeego! Go, Diego, go!” Over and over. So cute.
She loves giving kisses, which she always delivers while making the kiss sound with much gusto: “Mwah!” And as her brother before her, she loves feeding the dog her breakfast, lunch and dinner.
Lucky Mals.
Declan has been coming up with some great phrases lately. The other day he said to me, “When I grow up and be a daddy I’m gonna drive the car’s steering wheel and have sharp tools.”
Last weekend as Amy and I were going out on our date he said, “Don’t forget to come back,” which he usually says to Amy when she goes to work. Then the next morning when he saw us he said, “I’m glad you didn’t forget to come back.”
Apparently, he wants to be a DJ when he grows up. DJ the DJ:
And he ran his first race! He and Amy did a 5k together, which I think is awesome.
Aren’t they awesome and beautiful?
Always the ham, here he is taking a load off in Target:
Like big sister, he’s taking dance class. Every Monday afternoon at school. Kaleigh’s so proud.
And Kaleigh’s coming home tonight! It’ll be a quick visit – just tonight – as she has a wedding to go to in Richmond this weekend. But we can’t wait and it’ll be great to have everyone together.
