2 Months & Lots of Love

It is hard to believe that Emily is two months old.

She is full of smiles and just loves her brothers and sister!

At her two month exam:
Weight - 12lbs, 1 oz. (75%)
Height - 23 inches (50%)

She is starting to sleep a little better -- we are down to just one feeding (around 3-4 am), but I am still hoping she will sleep through the night sometime soon! As you can see below her big brother Brandon just loves her to pieces. He is always talking, singing or kissing her. Caleb has also come to enjoy Emily more. He too loves to kiss her on the head and even likes to hold her from time to time.

Brandon Starts School

Brandon’s big day finally arrived – 4 year old Preschool! Since Taylor started school a few weeks ago, Brandon has been eagerly awaiting this day. He attended a 3 year old preschool last year in the same building so he was full of excitement and ran right into class with no worries. His class runs 3 days a week in the mornings.

Labor Day Fun with Mom

Since Charlie had to work on Monday Sept. 1st I met up with a couple of my girlfriends and we took our kids (11 kids-3moms) to Paulina, IA to a park with a small lake for some fun in the sun, swimming, playing in the sand and a picnic lunch.

Caleb loved playing in the sand and sitting in the water!

Taylor was the last one out of the water!

The boys enjoyed digging water cannals . . .

and throwing water on each other and the girls of course!

most of the gang minus Caleb, Emily and David.
