Maria's new big girl bed. She is very excited to have her own big girl bed. She is doing great with it too. She only fell out once on the first night that she slept in it. I was a little afraid that she was going to want to get up and play when she was supposed to be sleeping, but so far that has not been a problem. Sam likes the fact that she has a big girl bed too. Now he can get her up in the morning and play with her without having to climb into her crib.

Steelers

Our little Steeler fans. They love cheering loudly and are very animated! Too bad they couldn't will the Steelers to win last Sunday. Sam is so upset that there is no more football for months.

Long time no see

Wow! I am terrible at this blogging thing. I can't believe that the last time I wrote was when Sam turned 3. Sam is going the be 5 in just over a month and he is so excited. He can't wait for his new favorite number to be five instead of 4. He is growing like crazy. He is 43 inches tall now! He has a rapidly expanding toy car collection. At this rate we have our 100th day of school project all set. :-)

Maria has grown a lot since the last time I wrote as well. She is now 2 going on 14! She loves to talk and has since she was about 18 months old. She is still working very hard on growing hair. She finally has enough to put up in a ponytail. She is very much a girl - she loves purses, babies, and cell phones. LOL

We are truly blessed to have such smart and wonderful children even though they can be challenging at times. They play quite well together most of the time.
