Swim lessons

Today was the first day of another session of swim lessons. The boys were so excited. Everest got new spiderman goggles, Leaf got Everest's hand me down. 

When we got to swim lessons, the instructor never showed up. Someone called her and she had mistakenly written us down to start in January. The kids were not disappointed they swam and played for an hour and a half.



Gotta love the straps sticking straight out!

Just having fun

Leaf and Everest made a teeter totter in the driveway one day, while Nathan worked in the garage. They played so well together and had a lot of fun. They ran back and forth on the plywood ramp.


Leaf was a little more cautious than Everest. He would run full force, but then slow down once it started to tip.

Chef Elliot was over one night and cooking in Leaf's new kitchen.

October 2010

I am a little behind on blogging. 3 kids keep me busy. Here are a few pictures to share from my parents visit in October.

Is there a pheasant in our tree? Wait ....it's Leaf playing hide and seek.

This and That

 Playing in the leaves.


The boys have been unloading the dishwasher every morning. Usually Leaf hands Everest the silverware. Everest decided to teach Leaf how to put the silverware away.

Two boys, two boxes, markers = Fun, fun, fun!

Everest made his box into a tow truck. He originally had a winch in the back and a string in the front. He tried to pull his car and tow Leaf's car. When Leaf wasn't in the car, it worked, but he was too heavy for the string.
 Aurora hanging out in the couch. Less than 3 weeks until the brace comes off!
 Nathan and Aurora doing diapers. We go through lots of diapers.
 Everest is digging for buried treasure.

3 Months old!

I can not believe Aurora is already 3 months old! It has gone by very fast. Have I told you what a WONDERFUL baby she is? I love my boys very much, but neither slept well as a baby. Everest had digestive issue due to allergies and Leaf had digestive issues due to surgery at birth. It wasn't their fault, but they cried ALL the time, and rarely slept more than 3 hours at a time (even at night). When Aurora turned 3 months old, she slept 11 hours that night. Now, I understand why people like babies so much.

I am 3 months old already!

Leaf has been nursing his baby.

He asked for a cover to use while nursing.(I have a nursing apron I use)
