We've been staying with Nana for the past month. While, we are grateful for Nana allowing us to stay with her, we are very anxious to move into the new house, or as Baylor refers to it as, "Skiatook". He thinks the house is Skiatook. We keep trying to tell him that the house is in Skiatook. It appears that we should be moving into our new house March 8th. Because Nana is not of the 21st century, mommy has not had a chance to update your journal so here are just a few tidbits from the past month:
  • We've made an effort to stay out of the house on the weekends. This has led to many activities for you all. One weekend we went to the movies and saw Flushed Away. Another weekend, you visited Uncle Patrick at the fire station and got to ride in the fire truck and slide down the pole a million times. We took you to Chucky Cheese and it will probably be the last time. Too many people!!!
  • You celebrated Valentine's Day at school by exchanging cards with your friends. Delaney has learned to make a "D". Baylor could care less about signing cards and Jaxon has developed the one second signature so he was mass producing valentines day cards. Baylor's favorite book at the moment is Green Eggs and Ham. Baylor can recite it. Baylor can also recite the months of the year very well.
  • Jaxon's imagination is in overdrive. He has two reindeer: Rudolph and Rednose! He also woke up really early one morning crying. When we asked him what was wrong he said, "bear bit my toe. I had to put him in time out".
  • Last night you attended your first circus. You were so excited, you just could not wait to get there. You had a good time and loved the elephants. Jaxon spotted pink stuff (cotton candy) right away so we purchased a bag. He took one bite and started spitting it out. Baylor and Delaney enjoyed the Cotton candy and Baylor had it all over himself. After the ring master announced toy time at the circus and asked children to hold up their sword lights, things went a bit sour. You finally realized hey, all the other kids have toys. The Ringmaster also said, hold up your hand if you want one and Delaney held up her hand as instructed. We managed to escape without purchasing one, but we promised to let you go to Target and pick out something. The boys chose a Curious George movie and Delaney picked out a kitty cat toy. She has finally realized she want a "girl" toy.
  • You all are constantly singing and have learned many church songs. Baylor continues to pray and thank God for anything and everything that happened to him that day. Delaney has started to thank God for Jesus and she also asks that God help her obey mommy and daddy and help her to be good!
