Gavin and Madison

Everyday I am amazed with these kids. It has been interesting to watch to see their different personalities. Its funny just how different they are.

Gavin has always been an easy child to take care (despite the fact that he didn't sleep through the night until he was one and has never been a good napper) but otherwise he has been so easy. He is my layed back child but is very independent. He is very sensitive and is a great listener. I can discipline Gavin my just raising my voice at him. I never have to count to 3 twice. He loves to watch out for his sister but is really good about not aggrivating her too much. He loves to go to preschool but I have learned he does not like anything to do with dressing up (tonight for Halloween we are wearing our Spiderman PJS).

Madison on the other hand is quite opposite of Gavin. She likes to be the center of attention. Always on the go. She keeps me on my toes. She is also very independent (I guess thats what happens when you have parents that are independent). She drives Gavin crazy. She is always messing with him and stealing his toys and pulling his hair. She does not sit still, she will not watch TV. She will not sit still long enough to read a book and last but not least she does not listen. She will be my child who tests me to my limits. She laughs when she gets yelled out or spanked so we will have to come up with alternatives that work for her. However, she is extremely loving and really has the cutest personality. And you should see her dancing. She gets that foot stomping(its very funny).

They have a new sitter that comes and stays with them some during the week while I go to work. The practice is going well and it has gotten to the point where I have to be in everyday (since I do insurance and billing). God has truly blessed us. Also we were released from the kidney doctor a few weeks ago. Gavin's bad kidney has scared down completely and his right kidney has doubled in size so while physically he only has one kidney his right kidney functions as two. Still not contact sports and hopefully he will never have any kidney infections.

Sorry I haven't posted pictures lately my digital camera is broke and I am having to use my old school camera. Should have some pics soon to post.
