Riley

Well, we snuck in 9 month pictures just a week before he turns 10 months! He is currently sporting 2 lovely bottom teeth and the first half of 3 on the top. He's a quick crawler and seems inclined to spelunking, as he has an aptitude for finding (and getting stuck in) tight spots. He migrates towards crawling and climbing challenges and sticks things out for a surprisingly long time before getting frustrated. He is still such a delight to all of us and maintains his easy-going little personality. God knew that we needed and easy-going one!

The other 2 are doing good too. My favorite thing to tell about Micah this week is that on Thursday, he and Rick walked Katie to class at the usual 7:20 am. In the hallway, crowded with students, parents and teachers, Micah asks (loudly, of course) "Daddy, where is your beer? You don't have your beer?" Please note that the night before, Rick had shaved his beard off! The stinky looks he got from a couple teachers was quite funny! Hopefully, everyone also heard Rick say "Beer-duh, Micah. It's called a beard!"

They have both been taking gymnastics this spring and it's quite entertaining to watch. We are absent the gene for grace and coordination. Katie, however, has mastered the splits. It stands to reason that she would most excel in an area of athletics where she could sit! To be fair, she is also pretty good on the balance beam. Micah, on the other hand, had better never be pulled over and asked to walk a straight line because he can't! He is thoroughly incapable of walking for more than one step on the beam! Quite funny to watch.

Well, that's about all I can think of for now! Happy Spring!
