First Words

Baby T. now says Mama (although it has nothing to do with me, just a fun sound he knows how to say) and Uh oh. This one he actually says at appropriate times sometimes. Tim even played peek a boo with him Sunday and he was putting his hands over his face and then taking them off.

Good Luck Grandpa

Just thinking of Dad today and want to wish him luck with his treatment today and his transplant tomorrow. We love you guys Mom and Dad and you are always in our prayers.

Toilet Paper

Didn't think 8 1/2 months old was the time you had to start worrying about the toilet paper roll. Baby T. usually plays in the bathroom while I take a shower. I make sure the place is kid-proof then poke my head out if I hear anything unusual. Today he was awful quiet so I poked my head out and found that he had unraveled about half of the toilet paper and was just having a great time!

The Boys

Just some fun pictures of some of the boys.

Do you remember?

Do you remember laughing so hard your face hurt? Here is Baby T. being entertained by his older brother. I love little kids real true laughs.

School Update

Big J. got his progress report - straight A's. He is in the Gifted and Talented program and he is learning about the rainforest right now.
Little J. is in the highest reading group out of both second and third grades (he is in 2nd).
Little T. is loving learning all his letters and when he gets home from school he is just a little chatterbox telling me all about everything they do in class.
Baby T. loves when the boys come home from school. I think he gets a little lonely without them.
Tim is liking the new job - it's just long hours right now but I'm guessing it will keep getting better. I'm enjoying having a bit of a routine back now that school is back in session.

Baby T. loves the vacuum

He loves chasing the vacuum around the house. For the other boys it's like a game to try to get the living room vacuumed while staying away from the baby (who is getting rather fast by the way). My kids say he will want to do something with vacuums when he gets older because he loves them so much :)
