I am not sure if I want to keep up on this blog.  I keep going back and forth on my decision.  I started a personal blog to do journaling and don't think I want to do both, but for now, here is a little update and pictures of the kids.

Sidney

Sidney is 15 months.  She has a unique and funny personality.  She loves animals of every kind but mostly dogs.  She can bark like a dog and pant like a dog.  She is our first to undo the toilet paper roll, climb on chairs, be interested in electrical sockets, etc., you get the idea.  She keeps me on my toes and makes me realize how very different and special all of our children are.  I love her so much and am completely wrapped around her itty bitty finger.  She is still a little girl.  She LOVES her Grandpa Bruschke and Grandpa Bell and wants to be with them whenever they are around.  She is already good at teasing us and has a great little smirk to go along with it.  She holds up her hands as if to say "where is it?!" whenever she is looking for someone or something.  

Andrew

Andrew turned 4 in July.  He is so excited to start preschool next month.  He loves everything pirate, cowboy, sports, cars, motorcycles, games.  His favorite game right now is Uno or playing games on the computer.  He is such a good big brother to Sidney and puts up with her sitting on his head or patting his face really hard.  He is always up for a good laugh and has a good sense of humor.  He has started to take his coloring seriously but rarely finishes a picture because it takes too long.  

Kinnie

Kinnie will be 6 next month!  She has seemed to grow up so much this summer.  She can't wait to start kindergarten and I only hope it matches up to her expectations.  She misses her friends from Omaha like crazy!  She said she woke up the other morning crying from a dream about her friends.  It breaks my heart but she has made a friend down the street and I am sure she will make some friends in kindergarten.  She has a happy personality and is always looking at the bright side of things.  She is still very cautious about things and timid in certain situations but she loves life and has a great sense of humor.
