A few updates...

Mason lost his first two teeth in the past few months and is reading better all the time. He is loving Kindergarten and we love his classmates and teacher! Northland has been so wonderful for our boys :) Mason is becoming more of a risk taker all the time, exploring dirt-biking trails, climbing to the top of our tree, jumping curbs on his bike, etc. He is already asking for a skateboard, but he's not getting one yet! My favorite quote: yesterday he was making a cardborad rocket ship with Daddy and asked, "Is this how they used to make rocket ships in the olden days?" He still loves giving gifts; every time a friend comes over he loves to give away a little toy, rock, shell, or trinket.

Levi has been practicing baseball in the backyard and can hit almost anything you throw at him! He asked the other day to start basketball lessons because "It's my chance, now, mom, and I need to start playing now." REally?!  He is doing well in school, is sweet and actually really well behaved. At career day last week he reportedly changed his mind with every new classmate that presented-- "oh, yeah, that's what I want to be, too!". He keeps asking Joe what he's going to be when he grows up.  Subtitle, grow up, daddy! Levi still says he wants to learn how to play the guitar and surf :)

Micah is all over the place. Holy cow, are we in for it! He never stops moving, and he absolutely loves to laugh. He watches everything and tries to copy everything the big boys do. He walks around the house all day with the boys' swords or gun making shooting noises. As soon as Mason leaves for school he goes to his special hiding place to get out the toys Mason has hidden from him. By the time I got to him last week he had three pieces of gum in his mouth. And the wrappers :) He is pretty quiet but he says Mama, Dada, DaDA for dog, choo-choo, bu-bu for buttons, and lots of other little babbles. And don't forget the very realistic shooting gun noises.
