Ten Months Old!

Can you believe it?!

Happy Birthday, Dad!

First Day of Pre-School

Here's Nick outside his new school. Nick is attending preschool on Tuesday and Thursday mornings. Today was his first day. It went much better than expected, with no crying on either side....

Here is the snack and bulletin board.

Here is one of his teachers, Miss Carrie.

Here's his other teacher, Miss Wendy, showing them all how to say hello. Nick was right up front and that's when I made my slick exit...

Bum Bum Bum, Bum, Dooby Dooby Dum

Beach Day

We got in one last beach day before school starts.

Colin, Ellie and Nick grubbing around in the sand....

Nathan making friends with Morgan. She is about 2 weeks younger than Nathan, but about 3 pounds bigger and she can crawl!

Nathan occupying himself with his toes.

YUM! Pizza Crust!

Nathan loves his carbs! That's how he keeps his thighs so shapely. I love the way he hooks his toes onto his booster seat tray. Adorable!

My Three Boys

Nicky at his first Detroit Tigers Game!

Baby Rolls

Nicky at nine months. Notice he's crawling.

Nathan at nine months weighs 18 pounds and 5 oz. Nicky weighed 17 pounds and 3 oz. when he was this age, but was half an inch taller. So, Nathan's a wee bit chubbier...

First Bath Together

The boys both thought is was fun to share the tub. Nick especially enjoyed squirting Nathan with the pirate ducky.

Nine Months Old!

I think I have the smiliest, happiest, most good-natured baby ever. At nine months, Nathan is delighted to be anyone's friend, and rewards the slightest attention with the world's biggest smile. He doesn't sit quite as still anymore, though, so its harder to get good pictures...

Visit to Carmel

We took a brief visit to Carmel, Indiana. The public library is really nice. It has sculptures all over the place. This chair is made of all the letters of the alphabet.

Nick got to watch the chef make his pizza when we went out to lunch.

Alex enjoyed a rootbeer. He is so cute and is ready to start junior high next week!

Loons Game

I attended my 20th high school class reunion last weekend. One of the events was a Minor League Loons baseball game. It was Nick's first sporting event and although he didn't really pay attention to the game, he had a fun time.

Katie is one of my high school friends daughters. She and Nicky are buddies.

Nathan looks little on this big bed, doesn't he? Very comfy pillows.
