Crystal Beach Weekend!
This past weekend, we went to Crystal Beach for a mini-vacation. We stayed in a lovely house near a nature preserve and about half a mile from the beach. It was quiet, relaxing, crazy, and so much fun! It was Corina and Asher's first time to the beach, and Lukas' first time that he remembers. We spent Saturday morning building sand castles (and other things), getting muddy, searching for the perfect shells, jumping waves, digging up clams, and enjoying the perfect day God gave us for family time. The rest of the time we lounged around (inside and out), rode bikes/tricycles, drew with sidewalk chalk, played games, grilled, and forgot about daily problems. It was refreshing and wonderful!

Corina is THREE!
Corina at 3 years:
- weighs 31.5 lbs
- is 38 inches tall.
- is very verbal.
- will always let you know her opinion.
- knows exactly what she wants and will not be deterred until she's gotten it (or finally broken down crying when she realizes that Mommy and Daddy are just as stubborn as she is).
- loves her accessories! She's got to have the right jewelry, "make up" (lip gloss), hair items and style, shoes, etc with every outfit. Heaven help us as she gets older!
- truly loves her ballet class! She also takes and enjoys gymnastics, but ballet certainly takes the cake.
- is still the most picky eater ever. She even told the doctor that she doesn't eat green veggies, only pink and purple ones.
- is very artistic. She loves to draw, sing, dance, create, and imagine.
- enjoys Cinderella, Mickey/Minnie Mouse, Tinkerbell, any of the other Disney princesses, and My Little Pony.
- is very observant. She easily remembers the names of her friends, where things were and should be, if something's changed since the last time she saw it, etc.
- LOVES her big brother and her little brother to distraction. When picking her up from school, she always greets Asher first. And when sending Lukas off to school and picking him up, she always wants him to acknowledge her hellos and goodbyes first.
- has a sweet tooth. The girl loves her sugar!
- loves her Mommy and Daddy more and more everyday!!

Asher - 18 Months!
Asher at 18 months old:
- weighs 24.2 lbs.
- is 33 in tall.
- speaks his own language. He has words in his vocabulary, but he rarely uses them. We play 20 questions a lot because he will answer yes or no correctly.
- words: Mama, Dada, uh huh (yes), uh uh (no), kitty, sister, brother, juice, and shoes.
- is a good eater, although toddler picky. He enjoys eating macaroni and cheese, jelly sandwiches, grilled cheese sandwiches, quesadillas, refried and black beans, bananas, apples, yogurt, applesauce, potatoes, eggs, any kind of crackers or chip, chicken, ham, and anything else he decides is good on any particular day.
- enjoys bible class and school. He started his first year of preschool September 4, 2013 at Footprints Preschool.
- LOVES Mickey Mouse!
- likes to play with cars, blocks and balls the most. And don't give him a ball unless you want him to throw it.
- likes to read and color.
- wants to do everything Lukas and Corina are doing. He LOVES his big brother and sister!
- loves his family more and more every day!!!
He doesn't stop for long, so all of his pictures recently are a bit blurry. Oh well, I'd rather have him active and learning, than stationary.

Bluebonnets 2013!
We took bluebonnet pictures today. While they don't seem to be growing in heavy droves like last year, we were able to find a nice field of them. Lukas and Corina enjoyed playing in the field with the butterflies, sticks, all kinds of flowers, ladybugs, etc. However, Asher screamed 97% of the time he was near (not necessarily on, but near) the ground.
