what are those monkeys up to??

there has been a lot going on in the gilles household lately, joyfully amplified by 16 weeks of morning sickness :) both my boys are growing like weeds and are so super sweet, we are trying to get our house on the market and do a little homeschooling while we're at it.

noah has a great interest in all things sports related, has loved being on his soccer team and watching and playing football with his dad. he is very creative with building and creating things out of legos, blocks and other construction sets. he is passionate about reading and wants to be read to constantly, as well as look at books on his own. he can write all his letters and has a hunger for learning.

ethan is changing so quickly! he is literally moving non-stop. he signs many things, including up, more, eat, drink, dog, shoes, baby, ambulance, car, and many others. he says mama and dada often, but has been heard to utter dog, nana and eat as well. he thinks pointing to his nose is the sign for brother. he is possibly the hungriest child ever created :) ethan loves to play with cars and trucks, build with legos and read books.

in a few short weeks we will have our ultrasound and will possibly find out a little more about our newest addition.

one for the little boy who lives down the drain

soccer time

Noah started soccer tonight! I can't believe I'm officially a soccer mom. He was really shy at first and wouldn't even go on the field without us, but warmed up halfway through and was kicking, running and cheering by the end. Watch out Norwood Soccer League :)

Ethan is getting big!

Here are some great photos of our big boy Ethan growing up right before our eyes. He is so precious! He had three great birthday parties to celebrate the big one year milestone, and enjoyed messy chocolate at each one. What a little angel.

He also took his first steps on June 8th (Uncle Sean's birthday!!) and as usual, Tam was right there to witness the first step and captured a photo of step number three.

The biggest news in our house lately, however, is that Ethan is going to be a big brother! Gilles baby number 3 is on the way, due in March!

recent funnies :)

Noah: There's a football game in Ethan's diaper.
Daddy:  Who won?
Noah: The poopy.

Noah: I want to wear a nice shirt.  I'm going to wear this caterpillar shirt.
Me: That shirt isn't very nice. 
Noah: Yes it is.  It isn't mean!

Noah: 
Father, thank you for me.  Please bless me.  Help me to be patient for my mom to peel the mango for me so I could eat it and feel the big seed, in Jesus name.

noah says...

when you wake up in the morning and you come downstairs and see daddy reading his bible, you know it's morning.
