Yep, this is the sort of thing Maia does to pass time during her afternoon rest time. She really does keep us entertained and laughing around here. Speaking of Maia, I'll just give a quick update on what all she has been up to, especially for those of you who check our blog and have moved away. She is 4.5 years old and for her, her 5th birthday can't get here soon enough. She just can't understand why so many of her friends are having their 5th birthday but yet it is not her turn. Maia is still really enjoying preschool and is excited to start kindergarden next August. We have yet to totally decide if she will attend full or 1/2 day kindergarden, but I'm definatly leaning towards 1/2 day. She is itching to read and is really making progress. She loves those "I Spy" books and currently is really into making paper jewelry (so if you see me wearing some paper necklaces and bracelets, you know what that is about!). We have definatly seen some maturing in her over the past couple months. Bedtimes have not been the battleground they once were and our difficult cycles have not been as difficult as they were several months ago. We certainly still have our trying times but they are definatly in cycles and not quite so trying. It has also been encouraging to see Maia taking Caden (her "little buddy") under her wing. There have been times when I've been preoccupied and I know Caden is fussing or needing something but just havn't addressed it and before I know it Maia is saying, "Come on little buddy, lets go play" as she ushers him into another room and engages with him. Of course, this is not all the time and we have plenty of "I had it first," and "Stop that Caden!" moments. But we are encouraged and we do thank the Lord for this precious little girl he has entrusted to us.

Thanks for the updates! I can't believe how much older they both look since the summer! Really wish we could visit with y'all in person!
