I'm "Falling" for you

We enjoyed a nice fall day at the park and played in the leaves.

Box O' Babies

We go through boxes and boxes of diapers and have started a collection. They will come in handy when we need to box the babies up to go to college. They should be a hit freshman year with all diaper boxes. The boxes also convert into a great toy. Some people have told us that kids love the cheap toys like boxes, keys, pots and pans. Look at these happy faces.

We wanted to see if they all fit - and they did. Just a little cramped but they love to get close to each other.

9 years ago

Today is our 9 year wedding anniversary! Wow - really 9 years. We have been together for a total of 19 years. We typically are headed off on some lavish vacation but of course with our new additions getting away is not so easy. This year it is simple - no gifts, no cards, no vacation. I did stop and get some flowers - I always break the no gift rule. Jennifer is fixing a simple meal and we will spend the rest of the night with the babies - the normal routine. Although this might be boring, to most, it is just fine with us. Having a family is something we have wanted for several years and now we have it. No matter what we do, it has to be better than last year. Last year Jennifer was so sick we were in the emergency room. The ER was overcrowded and she was miserable. After 4 hours we finally was seen and they decided to keep her over night. She was extremely dehydrated and threw up everything that headed her way. We did get to finish our anniversary together, but shortly after mid-night I got kicked to the curb - no private rooms. Here's some scanned pictures from our wedding. Sorry the pictures are not the clearest - back in the old days (9yrs ago) we used film, not digital. Kids these days just don't know how easy they got it!

We did go out for Sonic Cream Slushes!!! What a great day!

Past few months

Here are some photos from the past few months that we wanted to share. Enjoy!

Here are some shots from their 6 month session with Easy Street Gallery

8 Months Old!

Today the babies are 8 Months old. They have had some recent changes. Charlotte has joined Ellie and Evan and now loves food. Their favorites are: pears, peaches, green beans, and butternut squash. They choose not to eat peas unless mixed with carrots. Evan is the still the biggest - 15lb. Charlotte a pound lighter at 14lb and Ellie at 13lb. They sleep good through the night and take good naps. Charlotte looks like she will be the first one to crawl. Evan was the first to roll over from front to back, but he has now forgotten how and just cries until we move him. Ellie has started to catch up with reaching and grabbing. She also thinks everything is funny - such a giggle box. Evan grins when excited. Charlotte smiles a lot, but usually throws one or both hands into her mouth - so it is tough to get a good picture. They all like to dance but Ellie really gets down. Today they stepped up to a number two diaper and are wearing 3-6 month clothes.

Here's a video from the crew!
