Here's the three, on the floor, playing with blocks, while I try and ignore them and read stuff on the computer. At this point in the day I'm barely awake and they're all clamering for food. Not usually my best time.
And Another One
And here are some new shoes, picked out by Emma, bought by Kay. Emma says her's are "just like Babba's" because they have holes in them, not because they have disney pictures of Cinderella.
Aedan has been cut off from an afternoon nap and now has trouble staying awake through supper.
Emma is learning to do dishes. Here she has stacked them carefully, as seemed good to her. She's actually very good at it and a big help. And of course, at this age, she thinks its a lot of fun.
Other General Information
The baby loves Matt. He likes me but he loves Matt. If Matt walks in the room and doesn't pick him up, he cries hysterically. He can now also climb all the way up the stairs which is deeply upsetting for everyone on hand.
Aedan is completely potty trained, even through the night, and basically a much happier person. His first inclination is to whine and cry, but we're all working on the difference between a Regular Boy Voice and a Whiny Annoying Voice and he's beginning to get it.
Emma is learning housework. She makes her bed, cleans the play room, cleans the living room, does dishes, clears the table, and puts away laundry. I can't tell you what a huge thing this is for me. Matt has been training her (and Aedan too some). He has taught her to rince and load the dish washer, and pick up a room and keep it picked up so that things don't get out of control. And she's happier with these various responsabilities.
And New Baby seems fine, although I'm not having that much movement so I hope you all will pray. I have an appointment in a week.
OH, and the baby loves to kiss people, especially his father, with a wide open mouth full of slobber. I've never met a baby who would do this with so much consistency. Its very sweet but also completely disgusting.
Alright, now I really have to go get in the shower, even though there's no hot water, because at 11:30 I have to go get my credentials for the festival, badges and so forth.

I was so surprised and happy to see the pictures! I did not expect that at all knowing how b usy y'all are right now. Thankyou so much. We miss our New York grandbabies! The p[ictures are adorable. It is hard to believe how much Rowan has grown. He gets right in there with them now doesn't he? Loved the Cinderella shoes. Is Baba Kay? Im sure those shoes just "make" her outfits! What is the story about the sparkly flipflops next to them?
Emma I am so proud of you for being so helpful to Mommy and Daddy. You are learning how to take good care of the tings God haa given you andyour family, and I know how much your parents appreciate everything you do. You are a sweet, thoughtful girl.
Aedan, I am so proud of you for learning to use the potty and for using your real boy voice and not the whining voice. You are being very helpful to Mommy and Daddy too and I knkow you must like wearing big boys pants. You are such a good boy.
Rowan, i am proud of you too for learning to crawl and getting to the top of the stairs all by yourself. I hope Emma and Aedan are teaching you to go down safely the way they learned to do. Your Mommy says you love your Daddy alot and I understand that because he is easy to love!
Anne, I am already keeping our little one in my prayers that he/she will be kept safe and healthy right where he/she is (and not tire you out so much!) I am sure everything is fine. Sometimes they just aren't as active for no reason whatsoever. You have probably worn him/her out with all your busyness! The battery is running out! Im on Megans laptop and it says it will go out on me. Love you all and Im praying for the festival. I sent an email to Anne about that. Love, Mom and Mimi
