9 month check-up


Will and Nate had their 9 month check up yesterday (a bit late). They are each 13.5 poinds. They are in the less than 5% for their measurements which is consistent for them. They are doing fine developmentally. It was a good appointment. Good job Will and Nate.

Baby bath time


Will and Nate usually love their baths. They kick, wiggle, and giggle. I don't get pics because it is a 2 man job. MIke has given them every bath. I assist with dressing. We have a great system going.

Can you tell who is who? Will is on top.

The 2nd week of school

This was supposed to be the first week of school post but I didn't do it on time. Derek is going to preschool on Mondays and Fridays. He loves it. He loves teachers Jessy and Laurie. He also had Jessy last year. We love his preschool and the way they love our D.

Will and Nate are now going to their child care program on Wednesday. This means D and I have a special morning each week. It is so much fun. We do special things that are hard to do with the littles in tow. D's favorite thing is to ride the fire truck cart at Whole Foods so we have done that both times (did you know that kids get free cookies there as well). Thank you teachers Laurie and Liz for loving our boys. Will and Nate have not shed a tear yet during these mornings! They do seem to be eating their way through the morning but they are happy!

I just love the deer in the headlights look!

The couch minivan

Derek is really into pretend play these days. His new favorite activity is to "drive" in the minivan (or truck) which is the couch with no cushions on it. We usually drive to Starbucks to get chocolate milk and a mocha for Mommy or Daddy. Whose kid is this? The funny part is that Mike or I need to "drive" and D needs a seatbelt too. I must be really buzzing because we drive there at least 10 times a day!

Bumpa's work



Bumpa was really excited to take Derek to his businesss. He knew D would love it as it has so many of his favorite things. Sure enough D loved the pressure washer, the fork lift, and the big scrubber machine. Mr. Kyle came in his UPS truck and let D go in the back too. D's face showed smiles, Bumpa's face showed pure joy.

The turtles




We introduced Derek and MIke to the turtles. Al and I loved them as kids. Apparently they are made for kids and small adults so it was a riot to watch. We all laughed a lot and had fun.
