Nadia is celebrating her second birthday today in Rockford,Illinois! The kids and I (and KayCee) have made the trip for our first major visit to the Dillamans since 2007. The weather forecast predicts five absolutely gorgeous days in a row! Perfect for playing OUTside! We are just beginning day #3 of our trip and so far, so good. T'he kids were champion travelers. On the way out we stopped near Dayton for me to meet some of my "imaginary" internet friends. Then four hours later we stopped for pizza at a park in Danville, IL. Another four hours later we were here! There was little sleeping in the van but not much yelling either, so I can't complain! So far the kids have pretty much just played in the yard and in the basement. I overheard a conversation between Judah and Elijah yesterday that went something like this:
Elijah: Judah, aren't you glad that you are not an earwig?
Judah: Yes, because I would go in the fire and be burned up.
Elijah: Yes.
Judah: (sigh)
They just get one another. Besides discussing all things related to bugs and legos, Judah taught Elijah to flip on the swingset and to jump out of trees.
The girls kind of switch off playing partners. Eden and Lydia will be together for awhile and then Lydia and Simone will take a turn together. Eden did spend a considerable amount of time with Judah and Elijah outside yesterday, but that was only because she didn't know there was a Barbie movie playing in the basement!
Nadia and Indigo look at one another and cry. Indie has a cough thing going on right now where she hacks and then screams. She does not like to slobber or cough on herself. Well, then that scares Nadia and Nadia screams! Its an ear-piercing chorus for sure!!
Reuben and Elowyn just hang out and look cute. I think Elowyn did grab his head and he protested just a tad, but overall you can see that they are really intrigued with one another!
I just love morning between the hours of 6 and 8. Its such an alive time--full of possibilities! Oh...and there's Eden up the steps and looking for breakfast!
Happy Birthday sweet sweet Nadia Abigail!

ReplyDeleteIt was SOO fun to have you all here. I felt a little lonely this morning...drinking my coffee and playing ipod games all by myself...
Indie came out of her room and asked where all the girls were. I told her that you went home. She was a little sad.
Can't wait to see you all in a month!!
