guess who discovered their toes!

A new discovery has been made-Liam found his feet! According to the pedicatrician, "that's a 6 month skill!" (she was very excited). Since baby feet are cute, here are some photos!

something new to entertain himself with :-)

preschool started!

Preschool started last Wednesday for Cale and Ewan. They were so excited to go and see their friends and get back to their school routine. Cale goes 3 time a week from 845-1145 and Ewan goes Monday and Wednesday from 915-1130. We have to bust a serious move on preschool mornings, because as soon as Marcus gets on the bus (at 812), we have to hustle to load up the car in order to get to preschool close to on time. (they go to our church preschool which is about 35 mins from our house) It's crazy, but I'm glad they go there and we have work schedules that accommodate the drive time. The obligatory first day pics are below :-)

updated family photo

(It about killed the boys to sit still long enough to get this photo taken. And, of course, we can't all be looking @ the camera at the same time! =life with boys/small children :-) )

a Larry Boy birthday!

Here are a few photos from Ewan's birthday. He had a blast and really enjoyed his presents. Of course his favs were the Larry Mobile and his new Larry Boy shirt. We had cake, opened gifts and played a few games: limbo, egg spoon race, and freeze tag. The games were requested by Marcus and Cale, Ewan just walked around with his presents. The Larry Boy cake was decorated free-hand by Grammy Pammy-thank you! I think it turned out great. Larry Boy will take you to more photos, which are kind of out of order but still fun to look at! :-)

From Sept2009

promotion Sunday

This Sunday was the start of a new Sunday school quarter @ church. Marcus was the only one of the boys that actually went to a new class with a new teacher. Here are the boys' responses from promotion Sunday:
Marcus: "Sweet!"
Cale: "I think I'm going to love this" (he said this like 3-4 times during class-he is the only kid in his class now that the others got promoted and he gets his teacher, Mrs Peggi, all to himself)Ewan: no response, I don't think he cared
Liam: just happy to be held by someone, and this Sunday it was Grammy Pammy

Happy 3rd Birthday to Ewan!

Ewan is 3 years old today! He is a sweet, little boy and we are very thankful for him. He loves his brothers and has a smile that lets him get away with just about anything. He's grown so much in the past year. His vocabulary has increased and it's very cool to hear him talk in complete sentences (probably because I still see him as a baby). As the third, he has definitely picked up on things by watching his two older brothers, and he is a quick learner. We're in the process of potty training and are having mostly success with wearing underwear during the day. Ewan is my good vegitable eater and will eat all my salad right off my plate if I let him. He is the least afraid of getting dirty and will commando crawl in the sandbox, snow, and grass. Luckily, he also loves bathtime, especially in Mommy and Daddy's bathtub! He's cuddly and sometimes it seems like he's all limbs as he hugs you. I like to call him "Mogli" sometimes (from the Jungle Book), but his most common nickname is "Ew-bear", and everyone calls him that-us, our friends, people @ church. I'm posting one picture from his birthday which had a Larry Boy theme. I'll post some more pictures tomorrow :-)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM!
