The Score Is In...

Boys 1: Girls 1

She has her moms legs. All of the ultrasound measurements matched the due date, but her legs showed a due date of a week and a half early...translation-long legs!

Wyatt's First Movie

We took Wyatt to see the movie CARS today. We really had no expectations as far as how long he might actually last in the theatre but we thought it would be fun no matter what. After about 20 minutes of previews, Daddy and Mommy wanted the movie to start more than Wyatt. He actually didn't care at all and was simply enjoying the experience, but we knew he probably couldn't last two hours worth. He really loved the first part of the movie which had a pretty intense racing scene. He was truly precious sitting on Dad's lap eating popcorn and drinking milk. About thirty or forty minutes in to the movie itself he got down and was dancing with some of the music in the movie. He then took the empty popcorn bag and pulled the entire thing over his head and started walking up and down the isle. It was completely entertaining. We officially made it through about half of the show and then enjoyed a little stroll around the mall. It was a great day. Thanks to the strict rules with regard to bringing cameras into theatres, we only took a few pictures outside the theatre. I wish you all could have enjoyed the popcorn bag mummy as much as us!

I got a Cookie!

Yesterday, I took Wyatt to the grocery store. Our newest grocery store habit is to get a free cookie from the bakery ladies. I give Wyatt a bite, and I eat the rest. So, I was in the mood for a Snickerdoodle and proceeded to pick one out of the bin. When I gave Wyatt a bite, he started pointing to the cookies going "This...This!" I thought maybe he had finally wised up to wanting his very own whole cookie, but that wasn't it! It turns out he didn't quite feel like a snickerdoodle. He wanted an m&m cookie. So I thought it is his cookie...so I let him have the one with m&m's. He proceeded to lick the m&m coating down to the chocolate right off the top of the entire cookie. He never even ate the cookie. He just licked the chocolate! I thought about washing him before we got in the car as to preserve the state of the "1995 Saturn" (ha, ha, ha) but his face was so cute and messy I had to get a picture of him. The whole drive home, Wyatt kept saying, "I got Cookie, I got Cookie!"

More Blog Posting

If you haven't noticed...we are updating the blog much more frequently! Hooray! We moved the computer out of the basement and upstairs which has made doing anything online much more accessible to me! Now I can check email, post on the blog, etc. during the day while Wyatt is playing in his room or out on our porch. Hopefully, this will connect us with all of our friends and family even more as I intend to keep new photos and more Juelfs' news on the blog regularly. Don't forget to check out our prayer request section in the lower right hand column! We hope you enjoy some of the new pictures we've added. I am making a new summertime vow to not be the mom whose child is yelling while standing still over a pool of water, "let me out of this camera!" I will use my pictures from the digital camera!

Our New Living Arrangement

No...We aren't moving! We will hopefully live in the same apartment the entire three years that we are here at Covenant Seminary. Actually, we just made some adjustments to our current situation. We have a full basement (not completely finished or anything) that allows for us to use more space than just our two bedrooms upstairs. So, David and I moved our bedroom to the dark dungeon below. We painted a space and moved our bed and closet all to the basement in anticipation of baby #2. It is a little early to need to make new accamodations for a baby that won't arrive until November; however, we thought a change of climate would be nice. Our basement is literally 10 degrees cooler than the upstairs, so as the heat begins to rear its head we thought the move would benefit us sooner rather than later. Our first night was wonderful! It was really dark and cool. Other than the four times I climbed the stairs to go to the bathroom...it was great!

Wyatt's room has seen some changes as well. We decided to bring in the toddler bed we found for him so he is able to get used to it. I don't think we'll make him sleep in it until August or September, but he sure thinks its interesting. Today he wanted to let Sierra climb on it, which is quite surprising because he gets very jealous if we ever let her on the couch. He seems to like the new changes and is even playing more and more in his room. Hopefully, mommy will be up to painting his room this summer.

A Choo Choo!

Well, Wyatt has officially entered the two year old little boy stage...translation- tantrums and addiction to Thomas the Train. While Wyatt remains a dedicated Matchbox Car enthusiast adding to his collection regularly on our weekly visits to Schnuck's (the grocery store), he has recently grown quite fond of his Thomas the Train set saying, "A Choo Choo, A Choo Choo!" It helps to have a train that passes by our back door on a daily basis. Every time he hears the roar of the engine, he goes running to the back door, along with Sierra, to watch the trains pass by.
