OUR LIVES TOGETHER

Hill Family Update.....

A lot has happened in our lives the past few months - crazy things, but also very good things! I just wanted to give an update on what's going on with each of us lately!

BENTLEY - We took the girls to the doctor on Monday for their shots (Bentley's 2 month shots & Taylor's 2 year shots) Yes, Bentley is already 2 months old! CRAZY! She currently weighs 10 lbs. 4 oz & is 24 inches long. That puts her in the 25% - 50% for her weight and 95% for her height! Just like Taylor was when she was that age. I guess our girls are going to get their height from their daddy, which is a good thing!

FAVORITE THING: One of my favorite things about Bentley is her smiling & cooing at us a ton these past few weeks! It is SO cute! I love that she knows who I am - I can tell that she recognizes my voice and even when it's me holding her, that's a pretty special feeling!

INTERESTING FACT: She has the most beautiful & alert eyes, but they are actually different colors. One is blue & the other is brown. It's pretty interesting!

TAYLOR - After taking Taylor to the doctor, she weighs 26 lbs and is 36 inches long. She's about the same percentile as Bentley is, but for her age group. We have tall children so far! Taylor is a fun little girl! We definitely laugh every day! She is talking a ton - most of it doesn't make sense, but she seems to think that it does, because her eye contact when she is talking to you is so intense! We love her so much!

FAVORITE THING: My favorite thing about Taylor right now is her sweet little voice! I wake up in the morning to her singing a little song downstairs in her room. It makes me smile & want to get out of bed (except when she is doing that at 6:00 in the morning)

INTERESTING FACT: For the past month or so, Taylor's favorite movie has been Transformers. No joke - this kid can find it anywhere on the shelf and ask us to watch it! It's such a good movie, but I never thought she would like it so much! I even tried hiding it from her, but she ended up finding it & we had to watch it. Her new favorite movie since Wednesday is The Polar Express (which is actually playing at this exact moment) , but we will see how long that will last.

MEGAN - Not too much is new with me. I'm just a busy mom that loves her girls! Basically my family is my life! I am taking more initiative with learning to cook. I want to be able to cook as many good meals for my family as I possibly can! So far I think I'm at like 2 or 3 so I have a long ways to go!

FAVORITE THING: I guess my favorite thing about myself right now is how much I have learned lately. I feel like I can handle more and take more on in my life. It definitely makes sense when they say that trials are blessings hidden in disguise!

INTERESTING FACT: I don't really have one for me - I just wanted to tell things about the girls so I will remember what they were doing at this time. I guess that is something interesting about me - I have to write EVERYTHING down or else I forget. I have a terrible memory!

JORDAN - He is doing great! But really how else can Jordan be? He is the most positive person I have met in my entire life! His foot is continuing to heal and he only has a week & a 1/2 more of having an I.V. to take his medicine. That's pretty exciting! It will be so nice to have him back to normal again.

FAVORITE THING: I don't really have just one favorite thing about Jordan right now, I just love everything about him! He is a pretty amazing guy!

INTERESTING FACT: He cooks us dinner almost every night (like 6 out of the 7 nights). This is yet another reason why I really want to learn to cook!

We love these little videos of the girls in action. They seem to be changing right before our eyes! What special memories you are creating for years to come. Taylor is such a pretty dancer and Bentley is simply adorable!

Um, okay, it's official. Taylor and Kalli weigh the same amount. I just took the girls to the doctor on tuesday and Kalli weighed in at a whopping 26 lbs. And Kenadee weighed in at 35 lbs. Geese, it's crazy what a little Samoan blood can do to ya! Anyways, I love the update on all of you. It's so nice to hear how things are taking a turn for the better at your place finally. Also, the videos of the girls are darling. You are such a proud mommy...they're lucky to have you!!!

It is so much fun to see all the cute new pic.s from Thanksgiving and Bentley's blessing! How wonderful that all the fam. could be there- and I didn't know you were related to the Germaines- that is so funny :) I am glad to know that you guys are doing great and Jordan's foot is healing- that was one crazy looking foot!
