In case you are wondering..........






For those of you who may not know my kids well, you might be wondering why there are so many stories about Bella and not so much about the others. The fact of it is, Bella's about two shakes away from crazy. Sometimes I'm unsure if she's just determined to make her life as fun and wild as she possibly can, or if she really is nuts. Maybe a bit of both? One thing is for sure, life is never dull without her.


As for the other kids, Genna is about two shakes away from sainthood. Ok, maybe she's not that perfect, but for being 6 years old she's a pretty amazing kid. She RARELY argues, and when she does she usually presents her argument in a calm, collected manner. It's rarely ever an argument actually, usually just a discussion. She's responsible, tidy, obedient, helpful, and kind. (not to mention has great fashion sense for being only 6!) She also has a compassion for others, and wants to help those who cannot help themselves. She walked for the March of Dimes this year and raised $380, she donates her tooth fairy and chore money to causes she feels are worthy, and wants to learn Chinese so that one day she may be able to help children in China, or even adopt possibly. She's a great kid.


Elijah's just figuring out life still. He's come a long way in the past year, and is working hard everyday on his speech. He asks TONS of questions, I guess he's just trying to catch up on all he missed as a baby/toddler. For the most part he's just laid back and hangs out. He draws, plays, and just goes along with whatever is going on at the moment.


Isaac is just now starting to truly experience life. Now that his allergies are under control, he's starting to play at parks, starting to make friends; basically experiencing everything I had to deny him for so long. I have a feeling though, there are going to be many stories about him to come considering what few things he has done already. (remember the car story below?)


Nahshon is just a baby, so who knows what he'll be like. So far, he's a cuddly little monkey man.
