It's been a FUN week in Orlando

The kids enjoyed a little 'rock climbing' at MGM Studios



We got to go to Daytona Beach and see our friends Peyotr and Angela. It was so fun to see them and to get to feel 'at home' with our Russia family.

Madison has developed a style of her very own. I have given up!! Have you ever tried to reason with a 3 year old about why she should not wear cow socks and black shoes with her blue dress??


I think Brennan is taking after his dad...they both love the calculator

Going IN dancing Friday Night

Who needs to go out dancing, when you can dance to your hearts content in your living room?! It is great that the kids are getting to the point where they can play together. They really enjoy each other and they keep us very entertained. By the time I took this video Maddie had already been dancing for quite some time, so, believe it or not, she is pretty low key in this one.

Odds and Ends

Here is Madison showing off her new outfit from Uncle Michael and her new pose that Nana taught her!

Aren't they so cute!! Have you noticed that Brennan has a bruise on his head in most of our pictures...that's my boy!

Hehe - we had a little fun with Bren's curls after bath time last night.

Peek-a-Boo

Brennan really does get more fun every day! He is a delightful little boy and he makes us laugh all the time. He cracks himself up when he hides behind the curtains...i think he would do this for hours if we cold keep up with his energy.

Party with Nana and Grampa

Mike and I went to Boston for a few days and my parents stayed with the kids. I think I can speak for everyone and say that we all had a great time. The kids adjusted well, mom and dad were amazing, and Mike and I really enjoyed time to connect with adults and time to talk through and pray about our future direction. Here are a couple of pictures from Nana and Grandpa's time with the kids. Looks like Dad put lots of time in on the swings...and nana made maddie and me matching scarves!
