New Discoveries

*We've recently discovered that Charity is ambidextrous. We had our suspicions for a while, but they recently got confirmed.
*We recently learned from Andy that he was supposed to be adopted by a different family. From Spain. But they backed out. He said he's glad they did.
*Just the other day Celeste shared with Steve and I some very powerful personal spiritual experiences she had that blew us away. We couldn't believe she hadn't told us about them until now.
*This school year we've witnessed our Jonah become the biggest brainiac in the family. He is in love with learning. He is a straight "A", driven, overachiever, student. We're very proud! Him and his friend built a pretty awesome robot together that can do some things I never thought an 11 year could program a robot to do.
*Hana is possibly the most popular 1st grader at school. She's bursting at the seams with friends. Also, she had many teeth that had to be pulled upon arriving in America. She's lost a couple more since then. This girl can eat an apple with just a few random teeth left in her mouth. Amazing!
*We've witnessed Samuel (our baby who was born 3 weeks early) grow bigger at 10 weeks old than any of our other children were at his age. It didn't come as a surprise the way he eats. He still must eat every 1-3 hours, around. the. clock.
*Eden has shown us lately that she has a natural ability to reason and calm down an upset child in the family. She can sometimes be better at it than Steve or I.
*Becca loves her sister Hana and is so good with her. However, we've recently discovered that those two like each other so much, they even accompany each other to the bathroom. Even when one of them is taking a big nasty dump. We had to put the kabosh on that one.

I enjoyed catching up on your family. What a fun bunch of kids! I miss our early days in Young Women's together before we split. You are such an amazing woman and mom!

Awesome Amanda! What a good mom you are! When are you going to let me babysit Samuel for you?
