Yesterday was our 5th anniversary! We celebrated by getting a babysitter (we had a "get out of house free card") and spending the evening down on Michigan Avenue! What we forgot to take into account was the St Patrick's Day celebration and all the crazy drunk people with green hats and leprechaun ears...The river was green (it's a tradition to dye it green each year), it was cold, and there were a lot of people but we had fun being "childless" for a few hours!
It has been 5 wonderful and busy years together! We have a beautiful family and we believe we are where God wants us to be and we feel so blessed! Samuel woke up and asked for our friend "Miss Emily" who came to babsit. I told him that she and her husband had gone home but we would see them at church. Then I asked him if they read a story together and he said yes. I asked him if "Miss Emily prayed with him" and he said very seriously, "Uh, no, she didn't. She didn't pway wif me." I said she must've forgotten and he nodded very seriously and said, "yes, she forgot." Then he asked when she could come play again...:)
Zakkai is beginning the process to walk! In the past few days, he is standing more and more on his own and wants to take our hands and walk a lot. He'll be chasing after Samuel soon! He is picking up on more sign language and trying to talk more! He pushed the door to our room open today (with a bang!) and saw Ben and said, "DaDa!!" He says, "ma, ma" for "more" and today, copying off of Samuel and I, in a really high pitched voice said, "yea!" He also learned the "so big" game tonight! Everytime we would ask him, "How big is Zakkai?", he would throw his hands up in the air with a big smile and say in that high pitched voice, "Yea!"
I'll probably post more in a couple of days after our zoo trip that Samuel has been begging for! He has been asking every day to go still. Tonight as we ate dinner he said, "okay! Now it's time to go to the zoo!" Maybe I'll post some pictures from our outing!
