Luke's 1st Day of Preschool

Luke started preschool today. He was excited to be a big boy and to be going to school like his big brothers. He seemed to really enjoy his first day. He kept saying how much fun he had and that he was ready to go back. He goes on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays and his teacher is Mrs. Missy.

Seven Months Old

It is hard to believe that Megan is already seven months old. Time is flying by. She is growing up too fast. She is sitting up by herself now. She is pulling up on her hands and knees, but hasn't learned how to move forward. She can however scoot backwards. I definitely can't leave her unattended on the couch or bed anymore. She rolls everywhere. She kicks her feet when she gets excited and is still so fascinated by her brothers. She loves to be a part of whatever they are doing. At her last check-up she weighed 21 lbs 2 ozs and was 28 inches long.

Back to School

The boys started back to school this week. They wouldn't admit it, but I think they were both ready. Tyler started third grade and his teacher is Mrs. Schrier. Jake started first grade and his teacher is Mrs. Hursey. They both seemed like great teachers at open house and I have heard excellent things about each one, so I was pleased. So far so good. They both have had a great week and we are looking forward to a great year. The pictures aren't the greatest. They are too dark, but you can get the idea.

New Pictures

I took the kids to Target this week and had their pictures made. They turned out pretty good. I was able to get a good shot of each kid and then a good one of them together. Megan didn't want to smile but at least she wasn't crying.

Jake-6

Luke-3

Luke's a Big Boy Now

It has been a long road but I think Luke is finally potty-trained. He has been wearing underwear and staying dry for almost three weeks now. He even asked to wear underwear last night instead of a pull-up and was dry this morning. He was by far the hardest one to potty train, probably because he is so strong-willed, but once he decided he was ready it didn't take long. We only had to take his Nintendo DS away from him a couple of times before he decided it was time. He's been doing great and we are so proud of him. Way to go, Luke!

Six Months Old

I can't believe that Megan is already half a year old. She is very attentive and loves to sit and watch her brothers. She will follow them with her eyes and look for them when she can't find them. She wants to be a part of what is going on. She is reaching for anything she can't get her hands on and putting everything in her mouth. Still no teeth, though. She is still eating good and sleeping good at night. Happy half birthday, Megan!

Fishing

John took the boys fishing to a lake here in town Monday evening. They all had fun and each caught a fish. John only lost his patience once for a few minutes when Luke had his line tangled within the first five minutes. Here are a few pictures.
