Full speed ahead!

Today I brought out these cars and the kids where having "races" and when they where all done Walter said "everybody was looking at my car and I got a trophy." I said what place did you take and he said "thirteen hundred and I got train snacks too." Then he said "Rose E got seventy and one half place and she also got a trophy." He is still talking a lot about the car show that he went to with Daddy and keeps asking to go to another one and oh he has also been holding train shows in our living room! I just love to see too that he is getting more and more into playing with his sister and helping her with things.
Rose E's new word yesterday was "happy." When she woke-up in the morning and I picked-her up out of her crib she said "happy" then I washed her hands after lunch and when we where all done she said it again. She has been all into throwing toys in play so today I brought out a container of balls and she loved it she carried the bucket full all over the house.
I am so pumped because we had the kids pictures professionally taken yesterday and they turned out so beautiful. We had them taken at the museum in Lake Linden. What is cool too is that she is going to have the ones for our house done for us tomorrow so we can hang them for our home tour. We are still working like mad here to get ready for this tour and it will be a relief when we are completely done! We ordered some flowers for it too and I am excited to see how they look. Jeff is getting better but is still pretty exhausted from his illness.
