Eli is now one week old. He weighed 8lbz 3oz yesterday at a doctor's appointment and is such a sweet baby. His big brother is pretty proud and I think the two will be great friends.

Happy Halloween

We had a sweet little fireman on Halloween. Simon did great going from house to house on Main Street we covered about 8 blocks before he needed to be carried and we decided it was time for some Pizza. Fortunately the weather this weekend was fairly nice and it was not bitter cold for the holiday. Hope you all had a nice time as well.

A happy 2 year old

We have had a very busy summer traveling back to Kansas a lot to spend time with family and friends. I am now realizing as the snow begins to get closer and closer to landing in the yard (it actually has the last 2 mornings) how far behind I am in updating the blog. I figured I should do it now because with the new baby coming in just a few months I will be even busier...enjoy the pics from Simon's birthday party in Lawrence, some fun in the park during our nice long fall, working on our football and Lacrosse skills while cheering for the Wildcats and other random pics from home. Simon is really becoming a fun little guy with a lot of character and an amazing ability to form relationships...it seems everywhere we go somebody knows Simon. Seeing him interact with cousins and friends over the summer has made us believe he is going to be a great big brother. He seems to grasp that soon he will have a new little friend, we hope he gets as excited about it as we are.

Touch A Truck

BIG TRUCKS was the phrase we heard all morning, as we prepared Simon for the annual Mountain Munchkins Touch A Truck Fundraiser, and pretty much the entire time we walked around the event. Simon loved being able to touch, sit in the driver seat, and pretend to drive all of the fun vehicles.

The wheels on the bus go round and round...
