Updates on the Smith kiddos

These little kids are growing by leaps and bounds, physically and emotionally! They play really well with one another (most of the time) and it's loads of fun to listen to their imaginations take them all over the world! Here's a few updates on them:

1. They both still love books. Bella falls asleep reading them every night and is readying well above a first grade level. Jonathan likes to find his letter (the letter 'J') in all the books or make up his own stories to the pictures.
2. Look at that determination! He has a very serious look when he's busy working.

3. These kids built a train to go all over the world. They labeled the chair for all of us and Mike and I had to sit down while we were being taken to China and Africa. They even had a safari once we arrived in Africa.

4. We have plenty of pushes and pinches and fights. But sometimes, these two love to give hugs.
5. Jonathan was painting Bella's Christmas present from him. He bought her a wooden castle to paint.
6. Welcome to the safari in Africa!
7. These kids love the fun train at the public library. They will get in there and read until I say we have to go - this is usually followed by lots of "but moooommmm!"
8. They like to sit as close as possible when they are watching their PBS shows. Sweet kids - until someone pushes the other. But you know. They are siblings! That's what siblings do, right?
