The day after we arrived in Washington, Jeremiah started riding a bike with no training wheels! This was very exciting - he's been 'riding' his old bike with no pedals to learn how to balance, and the moment he got on this bike with pedals, he was off. It was like he'd been doing it for months!! As you can imagine, we spent a lot of time bike riding while we were in Washington. Caleb (who's birthday is the day before Jeremiah's) also got a brand new bike with gears for his birthday, so he was eager to on his new bike, too. </div>

This photo was taken after a fun morning at an 'eco-fair' in Redmond, and on the way to a fun BBQ through Microsoft. Unfortunately, not long after this photo was taken, we ran out of gas! On the I-90, which is a busy, busy freeway. Thankfully, we were able to get onto the side of the road safely, and AAA came out with a gallon of gas after about a half hour. It was definitely hair-raising, it seemed every semi-truck that came by was driving right on the edge of the road - it was terrifying. I spent a lot of time praying! </div>

Again, with the bike riding. This is how we spent most of our last few days in Washington. It was so much fun - we spent a lot of time just doing 'normal' things - hanging around, spending time together. It was a great vacation, and we miss our Washington family so much! </div>

Meet Grandpa Ralph and Margaret. It was so good to see them - Grandpa was quite feisty - he'd occasionally sneak up on Margaret and growl at her, which resulted in her shrieking in terror. Then they'd laugh and laugh...and not long later he'd pull the same trick. It was quite funny. Sarah found that she had a kindred spirit in Grandpa Ralph, as she could communicate via growls (one of her favorite methods). </div>

The sunset on our final evening in Neskowin. It was so much fun visiting Oregon again - the kids had a blast playing, and we had an awesome time visiting with Grandpa Ralph and Margaret. The weather was amazing - last year when we visited it was cold. This year, it, of course was windy, but it was warm and not freezing. </div>

swim in his new class, and Sarah's still working on going underwater, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

"When I grow up, I'm going to be a cleaning person. No, a pink police officer." <br />
<br />
"When will we be there? This is taking a long time ago!!" <br />
<br />
"Can I be a finfess?" (princess) <br />
<br />
"Can I have some juicy please?" (She says this while nodding, as if her nodding will encourage you to nod and say yes...a little sales person already!) <br />
<br />
"Mmmmm *slurp slurp*" (said whenever something is particularly delicious) <br />

She's so fierce and strong willed - but yet such a cuddly mama's girl and daddy's girl at the same time. Some days, I don't know what to do with her - she can go from delirously happy to screaming in frustration and back to being happy again in a matter of minutes. But she's just so sweet and loving and FUNNY, I can't help but know she's a little star in our lives. As frustrating as she can be, I do thank God every day that she's part of our family. </div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><script src="http://www.google-analytics.com/urchin.js" type="text/javascript">

Anita and Caleb came in on Monday, December 19th and stayed through December 26th. It was a busy, fun filled week! <br />

It was a great visit, and as always, so sad to see them go. The kids played so well and just wore each other out. Jeremiah and Sarah actually shared a room so Caleb and Bubbie could sleep in their own room. After a couple of bumpy nights, they got used to it and actually enjoyed sharing a room. <br />

Because it's a 'fun league' there are no scores kept - but J certainly is smart enough to figure out that his team didn't score any goals while the other team scored goal after goal. He was definitely discouraged, but I don't think it's necessarily a bad thing for him to feel that. (He's used to winning around here.) <br />

</div><div align="left" class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div align="left">We're about a month into Awana - and things are going so well! Jeremiah knows the routine but his Cubbies class has grown quite a bit - I think there are 25 kids in his class. Thankfully, there are at least 5 teachers. He has a lot of friends in class from last year and also from Mops. He's determined to get a teddy bear this year (that means he has to memorize every verse from his book!) and he's extremely motivated with that, so we're working hard on his verse every week. </div><div align="left"><br />
</div><div align="left">Sarah is warming up to Puggles. This last class she didn't cry when she was dropped off (Shawn took her to class - maybe that's why) but she even told a teacher "I'm not crying today!" She also didn't use her blankie, which she normally clings to for dear life. I'm already noticing a difference in her vocabulary - she is trying to speak more clearly, since I think the teachers can't understand her like Shawn or I do. So she's trying harder to pronounce her words correctly, which I love! She also has several friends from Mops in her class, too. </div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><script src="http://www.google-analytics.com/urchin.js" type="text/javascript">

<br />
The week before Dza Dza came to visit, it was a STRUGGLE getting Sarah to nap. It seemed like I spent 30 minutes getting her 'ready' and then I'd have to go in there every 10-15 minutes for over an hour before she'd finally settle down enough and sleep. It was making me stressed out and cranky, so I just let the naps go. We've been doing okay. Sometimes the days feel really looooooonnnnnggg....but not all the time. <br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Seriously, how cute are they!?!? Man, I love these kids and I'm loving how much fun they are as they grow. I haven't really updated on them in awhile, so here goes! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Jeremiah: 4 years and 3 months-ish. So. The attitude has kicked in full force with him. See that face he's making? Yeah, well, imagine seeing that face 10000 or so times a day, along with crossed arms, stomping feet, and the words "NO!" being yelled at you. That's kinda sort of what I'm dealing with right now. Don't get me wrong, he can still be the sweetest, most amazing little boy...but if he doesn't like what you tell him to do, he isn't shy about letting you know! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">He's doing fantastic at preschool. Every day he comes home with a good report from the teacher - he's the first to help clean up, the first to listen, and is very obedient. They really seem to like him. He's becoming less shy, too - the other day he stood in front of his class and talked about fire safety. It was so surprising (I avoid speaking in front of groups like the plague!) </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">He also started Cubbies again and was so happy to be back. We're also back at Mops, so he's loving seeing all his friends again. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">He can spell his first and last name out loud, but he can't write it. He knows all his letters (upper and lower case) and we're working on days of the week/months of the year. He loves his calendar - when he gets home from school with a sticker (almost every day) he puts it on that date on the calendar. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">He's obsessed with hopping on one foot. That's his preferred mode of moving right now. It's funny but also SO. SLOW! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">He's still small - I think 40.5" and 34lbs. He's grown 1/2" since his birthday, which is pretty impressive! Still skinny, though. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Sarah: 2 1/2 years! (WHAT??) She's also something else. She's talking SO MUCH. A lot of it is toddler-speak still, but she's getting clearer and clearer by the day. She uses 3-5 word sentences and as her vocabulary grows, her tantrums are lessening. That doesn't mean she won't have them, they're just less often! She still likes getting what she wants right now, of course. She's also very 'into' babies, dolls, etc. She likes to put her dolls 'to fweep' (sleep) and cover them with a blanket, give them kisses, and then leave them for a moment. She also carries her animals or dolls like babies. It's really sweet and adorable! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">She is in Puggles, which is the 2 year old version of Cubbies. She really likes it so far, and I hope she continues to enjoy it. I know they talk about Jesus, that's about all I can get out of her. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">She loves dancing, singing, and music, so I'm searching for a fun class to take with her while J's at school. I found some classes in Chandler, which is a drive but I think will be worth it. I also forget that she's not three yet, I don't know why...she just seems so much older than Jeremiah did at 2 1/2. She's starting to fight her naps, which I'm not thrilled about, but with the cooler weather coming, it opens up a lot of fun possibilities! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Sarah continues to grow like a weed. She's grown 2" since her birthday - now is 38.5" tall and 37lbs. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I get asked a lot if the kids are twins, because they're so similar in size and now that Sarah's talking more they could be, I suppose. It's funny - she still looks so baby-faced to me and Jeremiah looks so big, but I guess that's just a Mom's perspective :) </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">So that's about it in the Roland house! </div><div align="left"></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><script src="http://www.google-analytics.com/urchin.js" type="text/javascript">

We're preparing to take a weekend trip to visit Shawn's Grandpa on the Oregon coast....we got in late last night so the kids went to bed late. <br />
<br />
Jeremiah and his cousin Caleb shared a room, and slept pretty good. Sarah, my tired baby, is still sleeping at 7am (late for her, but she was in bed at 10pm). <br />
<br />
No photos so far, it's been a crazy 12 hours (we landed at 720pm last night)...but stay tuned for lots of photos and recaps from our adventures. <br />
<br />
NOT only are we going to the coast today, but we'll be stopping by Brittany's house in Portland - she moved here in March and I can't wait to see her (and the kids, of course.) We'll be able to hang out and let the kids run around for a little while before continuing our journey. <br />
