It's a Miracle!

Rachel just turned 18 months this past week, and still prefers to crawl as her method of transportation! It has been a long summer of her crawling through the dirt, sand, grass, cement, pool...you name it...she'll crawl through it! Anyways, I have been ready for her to walk so she will stop ruining her clothes and I could stop carrying her so much. She has been walking around furniture and taking a few steps here and there, but she is determined to do it on her own time and pace...and hates to be forced to do it. Well, I was suprised when she decided to walk across the room the other day and I thought hooray...she's finally doing it! Well luckily for me, I happended to crab my camera and catch these videos, because after these couple of tries, she's back to crawling the majority of the time and walking here and there. I know she can do it when she wants to.....but she sure is taking her sweet time!

I guess we will have to keep bribing her with corn dogs and cookies!

Off to School!

After a long summer (it really wasn't as long as most because they didn't end school until July 2 this year...but it seemed long to me!), it seems like the first day of school can never come soon enough. Now we are back in the swing of things, and I must admit it is so nice having both kids in school all day. I sometimes feel guilty I only have to take care of Rachel...oh well...she's plenty enough!

Anyways, the kids were excited for school to start. Lucas seems to be adjusting well to all day school...except that he complains that it breaks his back to sit all day at school! He really likes getting to have school lunch!
