It’s Already June?
Where does time go? I mean, seriously, it’s June already! At our house, time is going to a new church plant with all its ups and downs, a three-year old who is wanting to bake and cook with me, a two-year old who is discovering books, both who are learning the song ‘Father Abraham’ and just think it’s the the funniest thing and a seven-month old (that’s right, I said seven-month old) who is crawling, cutting teeth and trying to pull herself up on any surface available.
Mila is proving to be a very easy baby, she continues to just mosey around the house, blowing bubbles with her lips and allowing Cohen and Sloane kisses and tickles whenever they please. Cohen is still obsessed with her, calls her ‘…my darling…’ and if I let him, I think he’d put her in his pocket and carry her wherever he went. Mila has also proven to have acquired the Senkbile appetite; she eats like a champ and thoroughly enjoys every morsel as it approaches. She has also finds random pieces of paper and napkins around the house to be a rather tasty snack…although these often lead to the odd bout of choking and distress, of which mom is not too fond.
Sloane is our quiet, sweet, in-another-world-most-of-the-time daughter. She loves to move small toys from one container to another and stop for a spot of pretend tea every now and then. She has always loved to draw and has a new fascination with stickers and glitter. She would also much rather play with her hair pieces than actually let me use them in her hair, but we’re working on that. The girl in her does come out, though, at any mention of a dress,( a ‘pretty’) or better yet, a ballet tutu. Lord help me…
Cohen is every bit Samurai warrior that he has been for the last 3 1/2 years and shows no signs of stopping. He is enjoying his two mornings a week at play school and when at home, there absolutely needs to be a daily dose of ‘big boy lego’, wrestling, reading and showing off his newly acquired ‘big boy bike’ skills. Cohen has a massive appetite for learning new things, whether it’s crafts, reading, bicycle riding, cooking in the kitchen or…..dad’s ipad. No kidding.
Kids these days…



Great blog and pictures! Thanks for the recipe and for catching us up on things. You write very well and “entertainingly”! Greg and I just laughed at the hair on the heads of our grandkids. Each picture had its own uniqueness!
Love and miss you all!!!!!!!!!
