Catchin' Up on Some Fall Fun

We missed a few posts back in the fall, so in the spirit of "better late than never" thought we'd get them up.

In October we went to Burger Farms with friends for their fall festival and to visit the pumpkin patch.

Going through the straw maze with Allie...


It takes talent to get a picture where not one of the 4 children are looking at the camera!


I'm just trying to turn this Dad...


Yeah, I got this one-handed.

Happy 1 Month B-day Jake!

Checking out his new digs.

He seems to be a little more wide eyed and interested than Matt and Ben were when they first hung out in their crib.

This is Why I Have Very Few Pictures of the Boys Posing in Front of Things

Trying to get the boys' picture., originally uploaded by wetzel9.

I accidentally had the camera in video mode while I was trying to take the boys picture in front of a train display. This is basically why I don't have any pictures of the boys posing in front of things.

Going Home!

The Countdown has Ended!

In the last couple weeks before Jake was born, Matt and Ben kept a countdown of how many more days until the baby gets here. Their teachers at school even made a countdown chart for the class which was really cute!

When they came to visit Jake for the first time, they liked getting to see and hold his little hands and toes.



They also gave Jake the lion they picked out for him that is just like their Giraffey and Monkey.

Born December 8th at 2am. Seven pounds, 4 ounces and 20 inches long. Everyone in the delivery room remarked that he really had a set of lungs on him. Hearing this from people who deal with crying children for a living has me a bit worried.

The Good News is that the Name of the Blog Can Stay the Same

It looks like it'll be another boy. He's due December 8th. We can't wait to meet him! While Jess is thrilled to be adding another boy to the household, she is taking applications for little shopping partners.

It Snowed Today

So after I explained that the snow was vanilla flavored. The boys each tried to catch snowflakes on their tongue. Ben lasted as long as it took one flake to hit him in the face and he went back in the garage. That's why you see him running away around the 40-second mark. Matt was a little more persistent.
