The Odd Couple the Female Version

"We can just leave her in there crying all by herself?!!!" "You wanna go in the John and hold her hand?" (Sarah's expression in this pic is awesome!!!!) "Do you want me to tell Florence to wait a minute?" (I really have my face screwed up in this pic!)

The Dawson clan has been super busy as usual. We finally started the house and that is taking up a ton of Doug's time! I've been in this play with Sarah and it's taking what time we didn't have, completely up! The kids are doing great! They started going to a preschool/daycare one day a week a few weeks ago and it has been going really well. Loralei asks every night to pray for her school. Elli doesn't even complain when I drop her off she just runs right in! Jaycer's just goes with the flow all the time so he loves all the attention he gets while he's there. Individually lets see....Loralei is the glue that holds us all together, she is so positive and always a big helper. Ellianna is going through those terrible 2's. Yikes!!! We had to call poison control 2 times in 4 days for crap she's managed to ingest, but fortunately no hospital runs so far! Jayce is over ambitious! He's crawling and making the beginning steps for walking. I think I still have a month or two until that happens but he's pulling himself up and trying to walk behind things. Ouch! Lot's of goose eggs on the noggin! I guess that's the long and the short of it. I'll try to post a few more pictures when I get the chance! Hugs and Kisses to you all!!!

Love, Lea Marie
