The Offspring. An Update.

Joshua Howard.  Our resident expert on almost anything.  Ask him about animals, Angry Birds or Legos and he will have an answer.  He loves kindergarten.  Is taking the math world by storm and spends his spare time drawing and coloring at the kitchen table.  He is an artist.  His eye notices things that mine skips over.  He just finished up his first soccer season and is already making plans for his sixth birthday party.
 Eli Bennett.  Our fun loving FOUR year old who still prefers to roam the house in his unders.  He loves making donuts and eating M and Ms.  He collects rocks (picks one up in every parking lot we walk through) and when his container gets filled to the top ... he has big plans to paint them all.  Each night when I tuck him in, he makes me says "his words."  "Race cars go like rocket ships.  Turtles go like Texas cars and Texas ants.  Your tummy feels better.  Daddy is in his office and you can keep your eyes open but you need to close them to get some rest."  Um.  Don't ask.  And my favorite thing Eli says ... "You're my best.  I love you my best." 
Audrey Elizabeth.  Perhaps the cutest and most determined 17 month old to walk the planet.  She walks, climbs, runs, jumps, opens cabinet doors and finds toilet plungers.  She calls Joshua "Sha, sha" and Eli "Bubba."  This girl has moves ... her favorite thing to do is blast music and dance, dance, dance!  Don't turn the volume down or she might give you a piece of her mind.  And if you need your dishes washed, she could stand at the sink for HOURS playing in water.  Find her a pair of cute shoes and give her a purse and she is good to go! 

How is it possible that my crew is growing so fast?  I sense driving and college are just a blink away!
