Eve doesn't seems so sure about this crown wearing business...but Miriam was happy to share.
Now this is how a Princess wears her crown!
The Smashing game was one of Miriam's favorites.
Landon and Miriam playing the games.
Miriam also liked the play place. We all then headed back to our home for cake and presents.

Make a wish!
Landon gave Miriam a Princess Aurora bath barbie. 
Miriam was delighted to have all the presents just for her. She completely understands birthdays now! We love you very much Miriam!
Eve is finding her own little laugh. This is what she's got so far:
Luke and Miriam love to find ways to make her laugh. It's such a sweet sound!
Watch out for them on Dancing with the Stars!
Today was a half day at preschool. When I picked Luke up, the teacher's aide, Ms. Cepia told me about how Luke preaches to them during lunch time. She told me that Luke tells them all about Daniel in the lion's den and how God shut the lions' mouths. Luke also has told them that God is very powerful and that He shines. He has shared the story of David and Goliath with them and how David protected his sheep with his slingshot. He went on to tell them that they needed to say a blessing on their lunch. She said that Luke was their "angel boy." Ms. Cepia and Ms. Brenda were just saying "Hallelujah" as they told me these things. I felt like I was in a revival for just a small moment.
When Ms. Cepia was telling me this, my heart tripled in size with love for Luke. Some days I wonder if the children are picking up anything positive from the things we do with them. I always feel that they are learning more from my impatience rather than from the good things I try to do with them. It felt wonderful to know that some things have made an impression in Luke's mind and that he wanted to share it with others. Luke is already such a good example and missionary!
Over the 3-day Martin Luther King, Jr. weekend, we went to North Carolina to visit my family. During the family Sunday dinner, the kids were running down the hallway when Miriam fell and hurt her mouth. She had pushed one of her front teeth up higher into her gums as well as cut her bottom lip with her teeth when she fell. Luckily, Morgan's Uncle Greg is a dentist, and offered some good advice. Now we are just waiting for the intruded tooth to come back down. Apparently it will take a few months. The cuts in her lip are all healed and now we are just waiting to see what the tooth will do. Hopefully all will be well and the tooth will be healthy. I don't really want to think about the alternatives. So if you have been wondering what happened to her tooth in some of the pictures, now you know.
Also as a bit of good news, Miriam is now POTTY TRAINED! Once we moved to Georgia we told Miriam that we didn't pack any more pull-ups and that she needed to wear big girl underwear. There were several accidents at first, but it is safe to say now that she is done! I am so proud of her for making this transition!

Morgan needed a car and happened to find a sweet deal on this 1999 Mazda Miata. He loves it when the weather is 55 degrees so he can take the top off and cruise.

There is a bathroom off of this hallway, but I forgot to upload the picture...

There is also a Laundry Room and a Basement. The Basement is great for holding all the boxes we won't unpack and once it gets warm, the kids can ride their bikes down there too.
