All he wants for Christmas

There was an "incident" yesterday...

I overslept (second time this week!!) but managed to get out of the house with TJ and get him to the clinic in time for his 9am well-child appointment just 23 minutes after I flew out of bed. While I was at the clinic I got a text with a photo from Tim.

Poor Levi slipped on a piece of paper on the kitchen floor and did a face-plant.

Those two front teeth were already loose, but a trip to the dentist eased my mind (there are two more teeth which are loose now but weren't before the fall).

He's also looking much better today! His lip is still a bit bruised and swollen. He's got a sense of humor about it though. He keeps making fun of his own lisp. ;)

So the story goes

Apparently their mother told them they had to wear short sleeves, but the kid in orange did not. :)

Helmet Needed

It's been a rough week for one little boy. Yesterday he fell off the table and cracked the back of his noggin. Today's oops was a bit more noticeable...

A Good Day

There have been so many times in the last weeks when I've thought, "I should blog about that!" Unfortunately, it never gets done.

Today was another one of those days. We spent the day at the Science Museum. Kids had fun and were well behaved. :)

We were all excited that our favorite babysitter (we consider her part of the family) was able to join us. She got married a few weeks ago and moved, so we don't get to see her as often as we'd like. Her hubby was even able to drive down after work and join us for supper.

TJ did really well. It seemed he really enjoyed it... :)

So much to update!

Too much, really...  I can not believe it has been a month since I last posted!  I am so rarely on the computer these days -- about once a week in fact.  I hope those of you who know how I lived on the computer not that many months ago were sitting down when you read that.  Wouldn't want you to hurt yourself when you fell over. ;)

This is far too brief, but it's what I have time for (and I don't have the patience to deal with whatever weird formatting issues blogger is throwing at me, so you get what you get...).

The birthday boy chose Granite City for his "date" with mom and dad.  The free birthday cookie was totally worth it! Hard to believe we now have TWO teens in the house!

The Lego that was extracted (surprise!) at a visit with the ENT that was meant to be a discussion about Shiloh's adenoids.  Now we wait for a few weeks to see if the snoring continues. (I'm certain it will... the child has snored since she was a baby.)

I believe these two are going to become quite the pair! :)  The both have great personalities, and already make each other laugh.  It's so fun watching Phoenix trying to take care of TJ.  They are tough to photograph because they are always moving!

This little bare bear butt makes me laugh. ;)

I could just eat up these pudgy little legs and toes!  Can't believe he's 5 months old...

We have monsters living at our house...

...and ninja's ;)
