My sweet children

So, here's just a general update for you.
Silas is loving Kindergarten! He's getting smarter and more mature every day, it seems.
He informed me that there are three levels in his class: Apples, Oranges and Grapes.
(They're all about the fruits of the spirit at our school.)
They represent the level that they are reading at.
Silas is an apple, which is the highest level. We're so proud.
He will also be testing soon to become a green belt in Tae-kwon-do. 
He could have already tested last week, but we didn't take him because it's going
to be $255 for the testing fee, so we'll save up for that one next month. ;)
Eisley is still boycotting dance. I guess it's just not for her.
She doesn't mind going and acts like she loves it, but then we get there
and she'll only participate if her teacher lets her wear a princess costume.
Who would have known I'd end up with such a girly girl?!
However, she's pretty rough as well.
She and Silas wrestle quite a bit and she has begun making a fist and actually punching him.
It doesn't hurt, of course, but it's hilarious to watch.
I'm enjoying the last bit of baby in her.
She said "swap" instead of wasp the other day. 
Each time she tries to say "all of them" it comes out as "ov-el-um".
They're both so affectionate and kind.
Silas cuddles with me whenever he gets the chance,
and almost every time I am putting Eisley's clothes on, she'll kiss my face and stroke my hair.
They both will randomly tell us they love us without prompting, and each time it makes me want to 
weep right then and there. I just can't explain the feeling.

Bjon and I are doing well also. ;)
We're growing up right along side our children.
All the adults things we dreaded for so long are now routine. It's definitely not as 
bad when you're doing all the mundane stuff with your best friend.
