Jude
Sometimes I wish Jude wasn’t so smart. When I asked him to help me clean up the mess he and his brothers made in the play room downstairs he refused initially and pointed out the sign on the door that say, “Parents/Guardians are responsible for cleaning up after their children.” He’s too smart for my own good.
Levi
Levi is 2-1/2. It’s hard to tell how smart Levi is since he’s English is coming along, but very slowly. He now says some sentences, but often still combines English and German. The other day Andy had to ask me what a “Hut” is since Levi was talking about “Daddy’s Hut” (meaning Daddy’s hat). Levi loves Cars, choo choos, orange juice, “Mommy juice” (sugar free orange drink), pop (which he sometimes gets sips of if it is caffeine free) and eating just the bun from a hamburger.  Levi gets admirers (both adults and kids) very quickly.  He loves to just go up to someone and poke them and yell “Ha!” and run away and then a friendship is born.
Asher
Asher is growing up so fast. He’ll be a year old at the end of the month.  He’s working on his 6th tooth and gets around mostly by walking these days. I could have sworn Asher said “hi” today and the other day. He’s a fun kid. Mostly happy.
