catching up!

It's been a busy couple of months.
Here are a few of the highlights:

A trip to Florida for a wedding, complete with rides through the airport:

A quick visit to Disney's Magic Kingdom, which was pretty magical I have to admit.

 Of course, no hotel stay is complete without a good pillow fight.  Adelaide is getting big enough to fight back, but she still loves getting thrown around.

We celebrated Joe's 31st birthday and Adelaide's 4th birthday. Everyone loves candles.  Birthdays are more fun every year as she is more and more able to anticipate, plan, participate, and have a great time.  Adelaide woke up the morning of her birthday and announced, "I'm 4; look how high I can jump now!" And she has been jumping, hopping, skipping, leaping at every opportunity since, showing her newly acquired (or at least newly appreciated) skills to everyone who asks about her birthday. I think 4 is going to be the smoothest year yet.  

 

For his part, little Miles has developed into a busy little boy; he and Adelaide are best buddies. Their interactions have become downright hilarious as they've learned to play together over the past month or two. In this photo, Ada built a "nest" and coached him in, through the obstacles, so they could read together. The reading never lasts long, as most games erupt with a tackle into hugs and shrieks of laughter. Adorable. When the day of "boys-are-stupid-girls-are-mean" arrive, I hope I remember these times of two little happy companions.
