Greetings! Summer vacation is here! We had our first weekend of true northwest summer weather and made the most of it! Elsa and Jonas ran all over our back yard and we tried our best to prevent them from eating grass, spiders, and ants. We were, for the most part, successful.
Jonas and Elsa have been learning a lot the past several months. They are talking and saying "mama" and "dada" and several other one syllabel type words. They really good at throwing things...especially things that splat and require clean-up. Jonas loves to point with one finger at pictures in books--Elsa just started doing this too. They both know where their noses, ears, feet/toes, mouth, tongue and, of course, their belly buttons are located. Lots of learning and we see something new every day!
I've included a video of Jonas "stealing a kiss" from Elsa. Two seconds before the camera was rolling they were giving each other big smooches. This is a nice contrast to the hair pulling and wrestling matches that are usually going on:)
Elsa has her surgery on Thursday and we pray for healing and rest. The next week will most likely not be a ton of fun but we feel really confident that the next several decades will be a joy!
God Bless,
Mari & Dan & Elsa & Jonas
Cute video of the "kisses":) Will be praying for Elsa this week that all goes really well and helps her in the long run. We missed you at the wedding...but we do have pictures:)
