Just Some Updates

Dear Kids,

There are some growing updates I need to give about you all! Here they are:

• Gabriel - you had your first soccer practice ever yesterday. You got your first jersey, shorts and socks. So proud! At your practice whenever you would kick the ball really hard you would bend over halfway at the waist while watching how far the ball would go. So proud of yourself. I love it.
• Natalia - you are in dance! somersaults, dancing positions and just having fun. You love it and ask everyday if you can go to dance lessons.
• Elijah - I wrote this just barely, but you are discovering your voice and screaming and screeching as loud as you can and as often as you can. I may need to get ear plugs to keep my sanity! You are into everything right now, very high maintanence, but you always want to be part of the action with your brother and sister. Nothing intimidates you.
• Gabriel - whenever we go anywhere you will always introduce everyone in our family to the people around you. You will point to everyone with your hand, very formal, and say, "This is my little sister Natalia, this is my baby Elijah, this is my mom Andrea and this is my dad Brent." 
• Natalia - you are so ready to go play with kids by yourself. Gabriel is going with his friends Jake and Jaren all over our street (it's tucked behind other streets and is very kid friendly). You want to go with them so bad, but you are very obedient and are staying right by our house. 
• Elijah - you are crawling around so fast! I love to see how much you are learning. You are putting everything in your mouth that you can find. I have to do a 'mouth sweep' often to make sure there aren't choking hazards in there.

I love you all so much. There are so many of these little things I don't want to forget.

Your Mom
