Kearsley Korner: EASTER 2011

DO TRADITIONS MATTER? OF COURSE THEY DO!

Emily Eden

Emily is 5! She has started kindergarten now and is LOVING it! She spends most of her "spare" time coloring, writing notes and creating all kinds of things on paper. She also enjoys playing outside, making her baby brother laugh, playing with her friends and doing family activities. She is also in her 1st season of soccer and is having fun and doing quite well! Her favorite things are still princesses, dancing, going somewhere "fun," listening to music, eating out and watching shows! She is a great helper around the house and is taking responsibility for more and more things. She doesn't need quite as much help with the basic things anymore! While she wouldn't dare admit it Andrew is her best friend, even though they are fighting terribly now. She helps lead her brother along and isn't afraid to tell him what to do! You're such a great big sister sweetie! We love you!

Andrew Paul

Andrew is 3! He is a PROFESSIONAL mess maker! He is his sisters little shadow and he talks just as much as she does! He says some of the funniest things! The other day he was feeling my baby belly and he said, "Mommy, when the baby wakes up and come out, it can have breakfast!" Logically! He got a very fat lip recently and after biting it while chewing he said "Daddy, take it off!" His favorite things include balls, cars, riding his bike, being outside, going to Toys R' Us to see "Spike" the Dinosaur, saying "cheese" for the camera, dancing, dirt, his cowboy boots, climbing on and bouncing off of all things, books, his Daddy & his "Em-I-LY!" Despite his destructive and opinionated nature he's still the sweetest boy on the block! You're my little "buckaroo!"

Levi David

Levi is 10 months old! I can't believe it. He is an angel boy who has been a serious blessing in our life over this last year. He brings so many smiles amid the stresses of the recent physical illnesses. While his mom was in the hospital for thos 5 weeks he got is 1st 4 teeth! Since then he has gained 4 more! He also learned to sit up and roll over while I was there. But that is old news now, as he is in the brink of crawling! He usually isn't happy unless he's moving or eating. He is a boy! He has such a love for people and is not shy toward anyone! If you smile at him or even get near him, he is your friend! No questions asked! His toothy smiles are so precious! He LOVES his big sister Emily and is a little bit scared of his big brother Andrew, although he still enjoys watching Andrew's craziness and is trying to figure hime out! Levi has found his voice and will let someone know when he is not pleased! We love you baby!
