Current Life

I've been thinking it's a good time for a general update on the life of the Webber family.  I am not much of a "reflecter" but I have been doing some reflecting lately.  With the girls going into kindergarten in two months, we are coming to the end of a very, very challenging and wonderful season.  The season that began almost four years ago when our daughters were placed with us and our lives changed from being a married couple to being...PARENTS! 

Right now, I am working on convincing my kids that if they are friends with each other, it will be like a playdate every day!  Abby and Haley are really good at playing together if they are supposed to be doing something else (like having quiet time or getting ready to go).  Haley and Seth are total buddies and play together really well.  Abby and Seth can once in a while play together, especially if they are playing "band" or practicing dancing!

Some of the things that they love are:

• playing Hullabaloo, which they call "the family game".  Seth constantly wants to play this game!
• swim lessons
• batting- Haley and Seth are both lefties and Abby is a really good batter.  I think that they all are, actually.  Especially considering what a terrible pitcher I am!
• being in a band.  Seth is in love with EVERY instrument and usually directs us as to who will play what instrument.  He just got a saxophone, and now he really wants an accordian (thank you, Backyardigans, for all of his instrument knowledge)
• playing hide and seek ("I hide under the covers and you come find me, mom"!)
• swinging on our porch.  Carey put a bunch of eye hooks on our front porch and we have a few different swings that we hook on and off.
• jumping on the trampoline

Seth loves to dress like his "sissies".  He recently told me "I not like boy clothes.  I like girl clothes"

Haley LOVES to make "bug homes" this particular one kept her happily occupied for a good 50 minutes! (That's a tiny little snail on her finger)!

Abby is very into making her hair look "perfect" (her version is perfect is VERY far from mine)!  The amount of hair clips she gets in there is incredible, and she will actually work on getting it just right for quite a while!
