Updates

Just wanted to post a some technical updates on the kids (more for my memory than anyone else):

Karis- has recently started riding a bike (with trainers) really well. She was riding some before but with difficulty. We have taken her on trails and now she is flying around on our deck- she loves it and she was even giving Jotham rides the other day. She is growing in her knowledge and love for God's word and we love to hear everyday what she is learning. She is big helper here at home, getting diapers, clearing the table, etc. I'm grateful to have such a wonderful little girl as our oldest.

Jotham- at his three year checkup (in May) weighed 31 lbs (50%) and was 37 1/4 inches tall (50%). He also has recently started peddling a bike. He has trouble getting started but can keep it going after a push. He learned his colors (for the most part) and he is potty trained (except for nighttime). He is still amazingly clueless when it comes to certain things. He was playing with his friend Carson the other day for two hours when he came in the house and said, "Jon, isn't being nice to me." Mom, "His name is not Jon." Jotham, "What's his name?"

Mercia- she had her 18 month checkup (at 19 months) and was 24.3 lbs (25-50%) and 33 inches tall (75%). She is walking well now and saying about 25 words, which probably only Mommy understands. She loves babies and has tried to carry a real baby around (though he probably weighs as much as she does)- but she loved him and that's what matters. She keeps us on our toes, depending on God's grace for each day. She adds a lot of joy to our lives.
