Walkers' Trail

Star Wars is such a huge hit this year with both of our boys!!!! Combine it with the rage of legos, and it's a Star Wars legos infatuation! This year, with their birthdays just 3 weeks apart, and very similar friends, we combined their party in to one for a few close friends and then family. Ta-Da! Their homemade cake. Instead of R2-D2.... I created a G7-K5... get it? Cousin Morgan Nana and Papa and their 5 grandsons I love these next two photos... The boys... turning around from the big slide. The girls.... ready to go!!!!!! :)

Reid and Grant smiled for the camera but their smiles were a bit different! Reid is officially 3/4 of the way to his (gulp) first birthday! He is crawling everywhere, enjoys fussing when no one is playing with him, has started having separation fears (with me) when I walk out of the room, and has four teeth. His stats are below. Another quick thing to mention regarding Reid is a little something we found today at our well-baby visit. As the doctor was checking him, he found a heart murmur. Mild but present.

These pictures are so typical of life in this home. This was my third (and w...

Grant finally lost a top tooth! He's been wiggling that thing for months and it was just holding on. As I was picking up Kyle last week, Grant's class walks by to go to recess at the same time, and he ran in with a huge smile and Kleenex in his hand. He was so proud! He pulled it right before his seat-work time, and was able to get the prized plastic treasure chest to put it in. This was his over-the-top goofy proud face! Kyle "tests" everything. Everything. Whether it is looking at hinges to see how a door works to pulling Reid as far over while he's sitting to see how far he can lean before falling over, he is trying to figure out cause and effect. Which, in general, is a great life skill and will prove very helpful in high school and college science classes. But when he's "accidentally" knocking over Reid, it's not great. Story - Kyle hops in the car after school one day last week, and almost immediately Reid is crying. "What's up wi...
