I don't even know what to say. Did he miss his face? Was he trying to clean his face with toothpaste? Who knows.

Caden Says the Funniest Things
We were playing Skip-Bo as a family. Ken was not having a good game and asked, "Who shuffled these cards? Mine stink!"
Caden starts sniffing his cards, "Mine don't smell."
Caden is VERY curious about how things got their name. The other day he asked me why cashews were called cashews. I said I wasn't sure but probably someone just thought of the name. He said that he thought they were called cash-ews because whoever named them didn't like them.
We were out on a walk while our house was being shown. Caden thought he saw a hummingbird and then told me, "Hummingbirds don't sing cause they don't know the words. They would just mess up the song so they just hum. That's why they are called Hummingbirds."

Ava
Long skinny fingers.
It's hard being a baby.
She had her 2 month check. Here are her stats...
Height: 22.25 inches (51st percentile)
Weight: 11 lbs 3 oz (66th percentile)
Head Circumference: 15 inches (38th percentile)
She is my first baby thats feels dense to me. She is a little higher percentile for weight than my other kids. Her head is surprisingly small (most of my kids are in the 90th percentile for head circumference.

Reading
There is just something I love about my kids sitting quietly and reading books. Here Kailyn offered to read to the kids so I could take care of Ava, who was fussy.
Chase copies EVERYthing that his older siblings do and say. Here he is pretending to read like Kailyn.

To clear some confusion up
Why we are moving, yet again...
When we first moved here we moved into a 3 bedroom apartment. Living conditions became unbearable when the neighbors below us constantly knocked on the ceiling with a broomstick and called the office anytime we walked around in our apartment. We started to look for a new place to rent but couldn't find anything that would keep our girls in the same school. Next we started contacting people that had their houses for sale to see if they would be willing to rent. We found a house that was willing. The owner of the house we are living in, is wanting to sell their home so they have put it back on the market.
We are very actively trying to find a home to buy. We have put in 2 offers already but both fell through. The first house was a dated home that needed updating. They were totally unwilling to budge on their asking price because they had a 2nd morgage out on home. Unfortunately, they were asking way too much and so nothing came together. The next house was actually very nearly perfect. It had everything we have been looking for. Apparantly, someone else thought so too. We got into a bidding war. The owners of the home got greedy and wanted everything even though they were asking way above market value. In the end we walked away. The price just got too high for what we felt comfortable spending. How is it that the rest of nation is in a market slump and we are in a bidding war willing to spend more than the market value on a home?! We are still looking and hoping that something will come onto the market in the next couple of weeks.
