Wow! It's been a busy couple of months! Kailer and Piper got a new Uncle (Welcome to the fam Jacob!), we spent a week at the lake in Minnesota where Kailer caught all sorts of fish, and football season started. We've had grandmas and grandpas and aunties and uncles visiting, and Kailer's best friend Norm (Auntie Em's and Uncle Ben's Westie) come to town too.

Kailer is crazy about the 2 girls in his life. Kailer told his daddy..."Hey, don't kiss my girl!" when Matt kissed me. He is still a little rough with any little buddies that come over to play. Most of them run away from him - he thinks they are playing chase though, so he runs after them and tackles them. Can't blame the little guy for his spunk!! Piper is one tough cookie - 10 months later Kailer still hasn't figured out what the word "gentle" actually looks like. He knows what it means...just doesn't want to actually execute the behavior. Piper wants to be just like her big brother. Or at least get in the middle of whatever he is trying to do. Puzzles, trains, colors, food.

Kailer is always telling a good story. On the swings he'll yell up at the sky "Where are you God? I can't see you!" He often tells storys beginning with "When I was a little boy..." or "When I was in highschool..." Last night Kailer said, "I grew up to be a doctor." He actually is "doctoring" Piper right now with pretend shots. She doesn't really like it so much!

We are truly enjoying these little blessings from the LORD and learning to delight in Him and trust that He will work out the details! Potty-training and discipline are not easy~!!
