Nothing too new...

Not much new and exciting to report, but I thought I would give a general update on what's happening. Jesse has learned a few new words since we have been in Canada (no, "eh" is not one of them...) He can say truck, which sounds more like "cruck", he can say "blueberries", he has his own special word for drink which I won't even try to spell phonetically for you, he is using his sign language lots and can say "done" too, and he is perfecting his pronunciation of "grandma and grandpa" and "no". He has become exceeding good at going up and down the stairs, throwing a ball, drinking from a regular cup and even getting water from the water cooler. He likes to call Sheba (the cat) "Tim" (which is one of the Coghlin's puppies). I think I heard him say one day "Tim, meow." Jesse is known by everyone at VBS. There are kids who say "hi Jesse" and I have no idea who they are...He gives everyone high fives and likes to "pound it" (ask Dan) with people. One day he was right up at the front doing the actions to "Father Abraham"...I had so many people come and comment to me about how cute he was. Everyone thinks he is the best kid ever...none of his teachers believe me that he has temper tantrums or that he ever cries (how little they know!) Jesse also likes to sing...he will even open a song book and sing along with us in his cute singing voice. He also likes to lead singing - he copies the song leaders hand actions. He's also loving the pool these days...he even doesn't mind getting his face wet anymore.

Rebecca smiles more and more each day. Of course everyone thinks she is beautiful, and can't believe how alert she is for a 2 month old, and how happy she seems all the time.

We are all missing Mike though, and look forward to seeing him hopefully sometime early next week. Jesse looks at his picture of Mike and says "dada" over and over again. I mentioned "dada" tonight at Jesse's bedtime, and he started looking around for him. I felt kinda bad, but I know he will be thrilled when we see him again.

Anyway, I should get going...it's late and the baby is squawking for me again.
