A Beautiful Fall Day!

Happy Fall!

David had school this morning but after we picked him up at noon we spent the afternoon outside enjoying the beautiful fall day! It's nice for the boys to get to play together on the swing set/slide that their Mom and Dad put together for them(mostly Mom). Only problem...Adam can't climb up the ladder yet so Mom has the job of lifting him up to the fort so he can slide down. I didn't do it once if I didn't do it 100 times:o) He laughs and screams all the way down landing on his butt every time. Nothing too fancy though...just the basics. Give him a year!

David on the other hand climbs around like a monkey. He takes advantage of all of his options...the climbing wall, the ladder and back up the slide(While his brother is going down). Then of course it's head first, feet first, on his belly, on his back and maybe the traditional way on your butt. After a couple of hours sliding, we decided to rake some of the leaves on the side of the house into a HUGE pile over and over again:o) David would run from the other side of the lawn and jump into the leaves. Adam likes to get buried in the leaves and also takes his turn raking the leaves into a pile...as well as a 2 year old can:)

After a beautiful afternoon full of running, sliding, laughing, raking, and just plain fun, the boys took a bath, ate supper and were in bed by 7:20pm!
They need to get a good night's rest because tomorrow they are going to go play with David's best friend....Lucas! David called Lucas' Mom today to remind her that we would be coming over tomorrow.

We got David's school pictures back today. One 8x10 and two sheets of wallet sized prints, and a class picture. I showed them to David and we went through all of the kids in his class(he knew all but 1 of the 9 other kids in his class:o) and of course Miss Anne his teacher). I turned around to do something and heard him announce..."That's a lot of Davids!" I thought I was going to die laughing. I turned around and he was holding one of the pages with 8 wallet photos. I'm telling you, never a dull moment!

It's a GIRL!!!

Well Chad and Robin, my brother-in-law and his wife, had their baby on Saturday, October 11 around 1:30pm weighing in at 6lbs 15oz. She is so beautiful! I've only seen a picture but she's so sweet. I have to wait until the boys are both feeling better so we don't get her sick. Her name you ask...Amelia, her middle name is Panagiota after my husband and brother-in-law's grandmother. I'll post a picture as soon as I can. I have one on my phone that my sister-in-law sent to me but I don't think I can get it onto the computer. Now, hopefully people will stop telling me that I need to try for girl:o) Thanks Robin!

IT GOES BY SO FAST!

Happy Birthday Adam!! It's hard to believe he's already 2 years old. Time just flies by. He is finally going to bed without incident and sleeping through the night again. YEAH!!!!!!!

The boys now have bunk beds and so far, with the siderail, Adam has only fallen out of bed once:o) No injuries.

He got Lightening McQueen sheets, a blanket, and his wonderful Mother made him a Lightening McQueen cake! Came out pretty good for her first attempt at anything but just frosting.

We've had a new addition to the family. He's 8 weeks old and too cute. We call him Petu but Troy says he needs a real name so we're working onit. Adam is constantly picking him up and carrying him around. He takes after his Momma, he loves cats.
