cousins
We attempted pictures of Malcolm and Claire with their cousins Barrett and Addison. We wanted to go out side to a beautiful park but they would NOT cooperate! So, we took some inside. Enjoy !They were never looking the same direction but they sure are cute!

Kids
We are having so much fun with two kids. Sometimes we joke about how easy it was with just Malcolm, but Claire is such a sweetheart! We have had some big things happen lately. Johnny graduated from school and is on the job hunt. Malcolm is starting soccer this Saturday, and Claire is 3 months old! We look forward to some fun changes , aka the "real" job world! Here are some fun facts about the kid and some recent photos!
Malcolm: almost 3 years old!
-Loves any sport, writes right handed but plays all sports left handed!
-Starts soccer on Saturday and just got NEW soccer shoes
-thinks he is older then he is, and asks to attend school everyday!
-working on his computer skills and LOVES to say the laptop is "his"
-working on recognizing his alphabet letters, knows the song but says every letter is D!
-Speaks so fluently everyone thinks he is at least 4
-loves to read books, especially books about Spider man, batman and the Mercer Mayer books
-Asks his dad to play on the Wii, Mario kart etc.
-He believes any robot is a robot his daddy built (Johnny built a robot for his senior design project which Malcolm loves to play with)
-loves to play on the train table at Barnes and Noble( even though he has a train table at home!)
Claire: 3 months old!
-Trying to grow the biggest cheeks ever!! ( The bigger the better!)
-smiling and cooing
-only getting up once a night ( Halleluiah! )
-gets the hiccups at least 2 times a day!
-hates being buckled in her car seat and swing
-hates not being held (poor girl crys a lot about this, sorry girl, have to get some things done!)

Grandpa "Bill" Craig
On April 25, 2011 my Grandfather passed away. He was one of the greatest men I have yet to meet, or think I will meet. He was kind, funny, thoughtful, brilliant and had the most beautiful singing voice.He made every person he met feel important. I knew I was "his favorite."
Right after I graduated from high school, my twin sister and I moved in with him and Grandma. I am so thankful for that time in my life. I will treasure the fishing trips, card playing and many more memories I made with him.
He came and visited us in Feb. of this year to celebrate my Dad retiring from the Air Force. I felt then I would not see him again. I am grateful he was able to meet Malcolm. The day after he left, I had Claire. I wish he could have met her.
This has built my testimony of eternal families. I know my Grandfather is no longer in pain and is with family and friends. I can't wait for the day to hug him again and ask" Grandpa, I really am your favorite aren't I?"
Grandpa, I love you
