the kids and orange-picking!!

Kylie is incredible with the babies...she really enjoys being with them and is so helpful when it comes to caring for one while I'm tending to another. They're getting bigger and bigger, so it'll only be a matter of time until they get a little to hefty for their big sister to manage. (look at Matthias' shoulders compared to Leighton's!, actually his whole build is so different than hers!)
AJ continues to be a fun-loving sweet girl...she loves to wander around the house dressed up in whatever she can find and be silly. Her latest thing is putting baby links like a bracelet on her wrist and asking people to guess what she is. Josiah has a Star Wars Lego game that he plays and we know that AJ has watched it many a time when she likens herself to a "rain-corn"...which means rancor. In the movie/game he has a chain around his arm. She's a funny little 3-year old. :)
Josiah likes nothing more than to climb trees any moment he can. Sadly, we have no climb-able trees in our yard (we actually only have two trees, a dead grapefruit tree and a short maple tree)... but we did go to an orange grove owned by friends from church on sunday afternoon and spent some time picking oranges and watching Josiah scramble up trees.
We picked over 100 oranges....and will be juicing them for days and maybe weeks to come (until they go bad)....4 oranges makes a good-sized glass of juice to drink. It's quite the change from growing up in Virginia and picking apples for fun. We really had a fun time.
