Ben is a handsome and charming little fellow. Fond of his “Chicks Dig Me” t-shirt, he loves anything motorized - “diggers” (construction equipment), “michael-cycles” (motorcycles), “kakikucks” (firetrucks).

His favourite word at three is “why”. And he has become accustomed to asking what time it is, though he clearly has no idea what the answer means.

When he wants a really special dessert, he likes to whisper it in my ear for maximum effect.

I am thankful for every minute I get to spend with him.

Ella has developed into a precocious little three year old. She is smart as can be and is rapidly learning how to manage her brother. She loves playing make-believe games with older girls (pronounced “gerls”). She is quite capable of going very high on the swings in the back yard.

Despite an excellent command of the language, sometimes she has trouble expressing her desire for more of something with the word “please” as one sentence.

She is a loving, sweet angel who blesses us every day.
