Growing up Gunn...: March 2008

A few weeks ago Ella Jane discovered she could wink. She thought it was the coolest thing. So for awhile we had a lot of winking in the house. Funny thing with Ella Jane is that when she winks she looks like a little tough girl; Matthew looks pretty Joe Cool in this winking picture too though. They are so funny together. Since our little friends are still sparse around here they mostly just play with each other. Some days it hits me how MUCH time they spend together. With this warmer weather we're bound to be outside more and hopefully meet more of our neighborhood.

We are gearing up for Easter which means having egg hunts in the house, going to egg hunts at church and posting Matthew's Easter projects from school. They are just beside themselves when holidays roll around.

Little baby girl is just that. Little baby girl. No name yet for this little one, but she continues to grow as I now find myself holding on to my belly just to give it a little more support. It's fun to try and guess body parts, I'm really only good at deciphering her legs since she sometimes has them criss crossed on the top of my belly.

Matthew has been amazing both Jim and I lately with his thirst for knowledge. Mmm...I wonder where he gets that? :) He's very interested in spelling, and pointing out familiar words. The other day we were at the library and noticed a large city map of Dubuque on the wall. Nothing fancy, just the plain kind. He wanted to know what it was a map of, and not really being a map person myself I nonchalantly said it was a map of DBQ. He then wanted to know where our house was, and then where campus and his school were. Definately Jim's brain inside this child of ours! So we spent some time looking at the map and learning where everything was.

Pictures are of present and past; enjoy!
