Cousins!

What a fun couple of weeks we've had with our cousins! Henry and Sam got to be with both cousins, Jack and Koleton, in the same week. Sam enjoyed his first road trip to Missouri to celebrate Uncle John and Aunt Kiley's wedding, and to meet cousin Jack. Both boys were perfect travelers...we were pleasantly surprised at how easy the trip was with two little boys.

And...we were so happy to welcome Aunt Kim and Koleton here for the weekend. They traveled all the way from Denver to meet Sam. Unfortunately, our camera was MIA most of their visit, so we have very few pictures documenting the fun that was had by all. Thanks for coming guys!

So, all in all we are great. Henry continues to build trains with whatever he can find...blocks, laundry baskets, plastic cups...anything. And, Thomas the Train now dines with us at the dinner table sitting in his own seat, enjoyng a meal prepared by Henry. He is also bathed on occasion, dressed for school and can sometimes be found in "time-out." Thomas is a member of our family, and we are not to forget it. I was scolded this morning because I did not put enough toothpaste on Thomas's toothbrush, and had to "say I was sorry" to Thomas for forgetting his Tylenol. So, we are a happy family of five these days...every family needs a tank engine to spice things up.

Sam is big and happy. Last week he weighed in at 13.2 pounds and was 24 1/4 inches long...the 80th percentile for weight and the 90th for height. He is truly the happiest, most easy going baby...he just smiles and we melt over and over again.

Many thanks we give for all that we have...Happy Thanksgiving.

Fall Fun

From building trains out of anything we can find, to a fun visit from our Boose friends, to Engineer, Pumpkin, and Scarecrow costumes, to family fun at the pumpkin patch, we've been having good times this fall. Sam is smiling, Henry is choo-chooing and Tim and I are amazed each day by our little boys.
