Long Update...So much going on!

Well we are all finally moved so I haven't had internet for a while to update the blog. We have been very busy the past couple of weeks so here in your update!
Madison update: Madison finished her first year at preschool! I can't believe it, she has changed so much from the 1st day to the last. She was the youngest kid in her class and she ended up growing the most, literally 2 inches! Just think in September we were so concerned that she wouldn't be able to communicate with her teachers because she barley spoke. Now you can't get her to shut up! She sings her ABC's (well sort of, she stays in order but skips around), count to 15, but don't ask her to, and is almost potty trained, (we still have a problem with her pooping in her pants). Her speech is so much better. She is speaking in full sentences and can tell you her name, but you might need a hearing aid to hear her sometimes because she says it so soft! She is loving being a big sister. She helps me out all the time with Luke, like getting a cloth for him or diapers. The church provided us with photos month by month of there time there and it is just amazing how much she transformed from a baby to a little girl! Madison has managed to break in the new house by flooding the kitchen by starting the dishwasher. Luckily we were able to catch it before water ended up everywhere. It only took all the towels in the house to mop it all up. She has always been our button pusher!
Luke update: Luke went to the doctor last month for his 4 month check up. He weighed in at 15lbs 13oz and was 26 inches long. He is the in the 75th percentile for weight and length. I was expecting him to be in the 100th at the rate he is going he could be there at his 6 month appointment. The doctor said that we should start looking for another rear facing carseat because by his next appointment he probably will have out grown his infant carrier. We started solids a couple of weeks ago and now he is taking everything really good. He definitly has his daddy's appetite! I am sure he will be eating us out of the house when he gets older! He has been turning over like a pro for a couple of weeks now. He likes to turn over but doesn't like to be on his tummy. Now only if he would figure out how to turn back on his back, then I wouldn't have to keep turning him back over. We are still getting up atleast once a night and some night he will sleep until 6am.
Alan and Melissa: Well we have been staying busy with moving and unpacking everything in the new house. We ended up closing almost a week later than we were suppose to because the bank couln't get their act together with the loan. And after 5 closing times in 4 days we finally closed and got all moved in. My parents made the trip up to help keep after the kids while we moved everything. We had alot of help from friends and our small group from church that they were able to get us all moved by mid afternoon. We have managed to put up fans in most of the rooms that didn't have them and we put in a garden outside in the backyard. Don't know if anything is going to survive, but we are going to give it a shot and learn what to do better next year! Alan has been staying busy at work with a new project and is looking forward to his time off over Father's Day weekend. Don't know what we are going to do yet, might just stay here and relax. I have been staying busy with the kids. We have been hanging out alot with our friends and this past Friday we all took the kids to Chuck E. Cheese. Madison had a blast and am so thankful that the whole trip only cost me 2 bucks! I am sure I won't be able to get away with that when she is older, but for now it was cheap fun. So glad she just likes playing on the games instead of riding them! We are planning on put alot of pool time in over the summer and hopefully some beach time. We are planning on making it down to Florida for the 4th of July and then later in August we are going to head up to Pigeon Forge for some end of summer fun! Here are some pictures of the kids, enjoy!

Madison's preschool graduation!

Too tired to make it to the crib!

Left alone we do all sorts of stuff!

Getting big enough to use his exersaucer!

Working on rolling over!
