Stitches

Boy was I happy this morning that I took the pictures of the boys for our christmas card right away in the morning. By 9:30 a.m. Evan was being brought into Urgent Care to have three stitches in his forehead. Apparently he was chasing Douglas with the light saber and fell and hit his head. I think we may have to worry about this one as he grows up. I wonder how many ER visits are in our future.

Phillip

We have so many people ask us if Phillip and Evan are twins. They do look a lot alike.

Brayden crawling

Brayden has now started to crawl. He is learning how to get into everything. His big brothers are realizing that they had better not leave anything on the floor in our living room or Brayden will soon have it and it will soon be soppy with baby drool. (He loves to chew on things)

Brayden's 6 month appt.

Okay so we had Brayden's 6 month appointment a week and a half ago. Here are his measurements.
18# 2 ounces and 27 inches
The time is going by so fast. He rolls all over the place and gets into a lot. He's had one tooth pop out and another on the verge. Before we know we will have a baby no longer.

Halloween 2008

Here's our little trick-or-treaters. They brought home a good haul of candy and it was a beautiful night to be out walking around the neighborhood.

Brotherly love

These two really love to play together. Actually all three boys really enjoy entertaining Brayden. Sorry the video is a little long.

Fall fun

What is fall without playing in some leaves.

Over MEA

Over MEA break we went up North to see family. James took the week off so it was a nice amount of time. We started out by going over to my (Pamela's) dads house and spent a few hours with him before he had to go to work. Then across to James' parents where we stayed. We spent a whole day with my mom and went to the big park there. The kids had a blast. We ended up dealing with some sickness overnight. The three older boys were up throwing up for one night. Not a fun night. We even were able to go and see James' sisters new house. It was a nice little vacation. We hardly ever get that much time when we go to just relax and visit. We had 4 days compared to the normal 2. Now we have been dealing with all kinds of illness. James has been sick with some stomach issues, we have colds circulating and Evan has had a fever. I feel like it has been never-ending. That time of year, I suppose. All those first that I mentioned a while back, well, we haven't worked with Phillip on the bike, Brayden is now on veggies too and Evan has stuck with potty training. We still have occasional wetting issues and he doesn't always stay dry overnight. But over all it has been going quite well. We are happy with the results. Considering he has started this 7-8 months earlier then the first two boys.
