I just had to include this picture to share with you what our days are like around here with boys. Yes that is a souped up Ronald McDonald Monster truck towing all of those vehicles! :)
The ever patient Miss Clara with her boys' antics...
Just riding on a fire truck or bus is boring.....riding on top of the couch is so much more fun...
Over the last few weeks, it seems like we have hit some really great milestones for the boys.....they are learning and growing up so fast! This last week we have hit two major "milestones" in the potty training arena. Luke now can complete the potty process from start to finish on his own. He opens the door to the bathroom, turns on the light, pulls his own pants down, goes potty, pulls the pants back on, washes his hands, turns out the light and shuts the door. It really is the little things in life we appreciate!!! The other major step is that Ben has finally shown an interest in potty training and has even gone a few times on the potty!!! This is a huge relief, as even up until last week he was perfectly content to watch Luke go, and when asked if he wanted to go potty he would simply say no and walk away! (We were starting to think he would be 30 before he was out of diapers!!!!) Although we are a long way away from being out of diapers, he is at least interested.....which is HUGE in our book!! What a blessing it would be to have both boys close to being out of diapers before November when we start all over again!!!
In other news....Ben is now drinking his milk out of a big boy cup too! So now we are only using sippy cups when we are in the car! :)
Luke has had a language explosion over the past month or so. He cracks us up every day with his antics. While we were in Virginia, he was sitting next to Grandma while we were driving somewhere and they saw a motorcycle. Grandma asked Luke "are you going to take me for a ride on a motorcycle?" Luke replied "No, Grandma....that is very dangerous! We will ride a horse!" Luke also walks around the house discussing his "to-do" list once his baby sister arrives. The other day I heard him say "change baby sister's diapers, share toys with baby sister, take nap for baby sister, feed baby sister, hug baby sister, kiss baby sister's tiny feet and hands..." (I wish I had a video....but while he said the part about kissing her tiny feet and hands he was making a motion and sounds like he was kissing every one of her fingers and toes...so cute!!)
(These last two pictures were taken by our friend Devon, Massey's Mom from a previous post, isn't she awesome??!)
Luke is also hitting a stage where he is trying to teach Ben lots of new things, and acting like a little second parent while he is at it. Here is a video of Luke and Ben singing their ABC's......if you listen close while Ben is singing you can hear Luke correcting him and telling him to sing the whole song, it drives him crazy that Ben only knows parts of the song!
In other news.... there are two new developments in Baby Morgan's world last week....
1st- Last Monday was the first time Daddy got to feel his daughter kick! It was so exciting for both of us that he could now feel what I have been feeling for the last few weeks (minus the kicks in the bladder, somehow he just can't relate to that one!)
2nd- Monday was also a record in this pregnancy for me not loosing a meal, one whole week! Whahoo! I am still getting sick pretty often, but a week is the longest I have gone so far. Here's praying this trend continues!
Okay, that is all the news for now. I have cut back on some of my work hours while Jeff is in school so hopefully I will be able to keep you updated on more of the happenings in the Morgan household!

Man those boys look busy. How ever does Mommy get some rest? Their singing is so cute, and it sounds like Ben has a good teacher. Love you and miss you
Well now, if those sweet faces and those dear little voices don't make me want to jump on a plane and come visit, I don't know what would?? I was thinking back to last year...they have made such huge strides in their language skills and understanding...it is amazing! Mom and Dad have been great teachers!! You all feel so far away....miss you so much...hugs and kisses...Mom K...Grammy!!
Sooo cute!!! Love the stories too and the firetruck on the couch! Unfortunately, we can realte... on the Fourth of July, Hayden took a ride down the slide while riding the big wheel! Only boys...
