MRI

Max had his follow up MRI Monday (follow up to the CT scan from when he was a baby)and yesterday we were told everything's fine! We were so glad, yet not really surprised to get the good news. So he just has a big head. :)

Suprise, or maybe not.

Hi! I know we've called a lot of you. But I wanted to post it, because we didn't call everyone. We're having a baby!!! It's due April 7 and we had our first ultrasound today. Everything seems good so far. We're excited, so are the kids. YEAH!!

Hello Autumn

Pumpkin bread is always a favorite around our house, especially when fall rolls around. It's become a fun little tradition that reminds me of making and eating pumpkin bread with my mom. So today the little munchkins and I made a couple loaves.

Baby and Raspberry

I forgot the picture of Sophia lifting up her nightgown was in here and wanted to share it. Last Saturday I was trying to busy her with something other than clinging to me at the moment so I asked her where her baby was, and that was her response! I was surprised to say the least. I asked her if she thought she was Aunt Sara and she nodded yes. (Of course later when I tried to get her to do it for Randy she actually went and got her baby doll.)
The other picture is Max and Sophie by our raspberry bush. We got 6 berries from it! Silly uh? But considering it started as a little 4 inch shoot from my friend's plant, a couple years ago it's doing pretty good. There's a hand full of berries to rippen yet as well. Max wants to make jelly :) oh, and the last picture is one Max took of the raspberry bush.

In His Tuxedo

I wasn't going to put this on our blog, thinking people will see him at the wedding. But it occured to me, many of you won't be there. My cousin, Max's godmother, is getting married Nov. 1 and Max is one of two ringbearers. He is very excited as you can tell in the picture. He is so excited to wear his tux and dress shoes. He keeps talking about his wedding.

Maid of the Mist and Cave of the Winds

In Canada

Museum of Play in Rochester

Our own little small vacation

The weekend before Labor Day Randy took Friday off and we went back to Niagara, we can't get enough of that place. We always talk about going and riding the Maid of the Mist (the boat ride into the falls) and doing all the things there are to do there, so we did. We rode the Maid of the Mist, did the Cave of the Winds, which isn't a cave at all, there used to be a cave there, but it has since crumbeled into the water, maybe 60 years ago or more. The Cave of the Winds is now a VERY close walk to the American Falls, we did it at night and it was really fun. We walked to Canada the next day and say brick City, a room full of impressive lego creations,and Ripley's Believe it or Not, which Randy says hasn't changed one bit since he was a kid. To finish our vacation we went to Rochester's Strong Museum of Play - the kids had a blast there!

Marbles

We had our first cool fall day today. It was so nice! We also got the basement picked up and the boys rediscovered their build-your-own-marble-ramp toy. They were very excited to show off the ramps they built.

Hairstylist

Maybe Sophia will be following in Aunt Joni and Aunt Donna's footsteps (as a hairstylist). As Alex zoned out in front of the TV Sophia combed his hair for quite a while. Moving around to get all sides!

First Day of School

Hi. Somehow I messed up that last entry, anyway Alex had his first day of school yesterday. He had a half day and no buses were running so I took him and picked him up, which was kind of nice for the first day. He has said he likes his teacher and was happy to be in 2nd grade. And for those of you who know all the trama we had over getting his book report done. He got a good grade on it. Also although I don't have a picture Max had his first speech class today and it also went well.
