Happy Thanksgiving

We have so much to be thankful for this year as I look back at where we were a year ago. The babies were all still so small and fragile. It seemed like they would never come home. Now they are big and healthy and getting into everything! I love them so so so much - and everyday I think about how lucky we are to have these wonderful children in our lives.

Boys will be boys

Well, we knew it was only a matter of time until it started. That darn bannister is so interesting and when you put toys through it they dissappear! Cory has figured out how cool it is to drop toys down to the basement and Kelen as usual gets alot of pleasure out of being right by his brother's side watching him and squealing. For now it is lightweight stuff going over the edge, but it won't be long before he figures out that the heavier and bigger the louder the thud it makes.
I knew they were up to something.
Oops you caught me!
What I found when I looked over the edge.

Amazing. Balls, rings, coasters, blocks...

Look out world...

Here comes Ella! She is now pulling to standing. She started pulling up on her knees about a week ago and quickly moved on to standing and bouncing up and down and laughing of course. She is getting closer to sitting, but still not really interested in it.
I also had to take her back to the doctor again last week, she started spitting up and I suspected that the ear infection was back. Sure enough, the doc confirmed it was back and worse, so now 10 more days of a different antibiotic. Good news though - she weighed in at 17.6 lbs! Great weight gain since she stopped spitting up.


Look at me!
