Ethan's first baby tooth lost . . .

Ethan lost his first tooth on Friday. Here he is to show how he looks minus a tooth.

This feels like a major milestone to me. I think it is because he's starting to loose his baby teeth, and even though he's not a baby and hasn't been for quite a while, this is his way of telling me, "I'm not a baby anymore mom" . . . I guess I need to act accordingly. It's so rewarding to see them grow up, but is quite hard at the same time. My little Ethan . . . wonderful boy.

Lillian turns three months old

Here is Lilly at three months old.
















Here are our beautiful girls.

I have the best video, but I can't get it to work. Hopefully I can figure it out, so I can post it soon.

Bikes, School and a little mischief

In August, Grant learned how to ride his bike without training wheels (with a little help from Dad). He loves it now! Now he can keep up with Ethan.
















Lilly also turned 2 months old in August . . . but she is now 3 months old. Those pictures will be coming soon.
































Sasha's the mischievous one in this post. It's funny, I have a picture of Ethan very similar to this one of Sasha. I had just given Lilly a bath and Sasha was next. Unfortunately, she forgot to take her clothes off.





















And here is our makeup artist . . .





















School started on August 30th. Here the boys are waiting at their bus stop . . .

















and getting on the bus. If you look at the picture pretty close, you can see that Grant is quite excited. The boys have loves school so far. Grant's first day was rough, but I think that's mainly because I was there (it was only an hour and they asked that someone come with the student). He's loved it ever since. Now I have the two girls at home during the day. It is quite nice going shopping with only the two girls, though I think Sasha misses the excitement that the boys provided.

July 2010

There was a company picnic at the end of July. The kids had a ball. They had about 10-15 blow up toys and also little games that the kids could play to get prizes (they got prizes no matter how well they did). There was also all you can eat/drink cotton candy, snow cones, pop, dinner and Schwan's ice cream. This was all free.

Lilly enjoyed her day in the stroller either napping or just hanging out. What a great little girl!

Ethan took this picture of a raspberry plant. I figured I should at least post a picture to show how we have spent some of our time this summer.

And our little children have often come out to the garden barefoot.

Lilly seems to enjoy her little chair. She loves it outside!
