Heidi and Jason's Kids

It never ceases to amaze me how very different each child is. Ashley will be ten soon. She is very responsible and loves to be in charge. When Jason's on call at the hospital all night she and I enjoy watching "To Kill a Mockingbird" or any other movie Jason won't watch with me. Around others she is very shy, but once she gets back in her comfort zone, she'll make up for it by talking your ear off.
Melissa, 7, is definitely our extravert. She will talk to anyone in any place and loves making new friends. She doesn't seem to be afraid of anything. Her favorite things to do now are to read Junie B. Jones books and watch any Barbie movie pretending that she is the main character.
Rachel, 5, is our happy kid. Happy all the time. She sings church songs on our 15 minute drive to church, and every other day she sings Kids Bop songs. She is a singer!!
Sara is 21 months old and is a snuggler! Every morning after breakfast she has to have me hold her and sing to her. She lays her head on my shoulder and just curls right up against me. I love that! I've never had a kid this old let me hold them so long. She also sings a lot. When she plays Polly Pocket, she sings the wedding march.

Last time I saw Melissa she hid behind her dad the entire time. I'm glad she has come out of her shell!

Thats so funny that Melissa is so outgoing. When I saw her as a baby, she wouldn't let me touch her before she started getting upset lol I can't believe she's 7. I'm glad you got a snuggler. Cassie only lets Keith hold her. It's so sad
