Three:

A trying age!

My kids mean everything to me and yet one in particular is driving me crazy. We did not have the terrible two's around here, but three deserves a name. It is hard to be the oldest I guess. Once the world revolved around you and then life was rudely interrupted by a sibling. You are constantly being told to "share" and "don't touch your sister." To counterbalance this new life you must exert your authority and shout "NO!" and "MINE!" I'm not sure how to handle this new stage. Any suggestions on how to make three a great age instead of a constant battle?

DV is not a baby anymore. I just can't believe how fast kids grow up. He LOVES the movie Cars. He also likes to watch "Buzz and Woody" and Finding Nemo. He learned a new word from Finding Nemo--disgusting. Which he used to describe some food I made the other night. Trying to hold back my laugh, I explained that saying food is disgusting is not polite and that he shouldn't tell anyone that their food is disgusting. Daddy made him say sorry to mommy.

Happy Halloween!

I just love this picture! GC is getting so big. She crawls and stands and babbles and maybe even says dada and knows what she's saying. What a delightful little girl she is!

GC is 8 months old and although she is not crawling or attempting to, she rolls everywhere she goes. She is a happy little baby.

DV had a birthday recently. He of course got more cars. He loves birthdays. Today I heard him singing "happy birthday to me." How CUTE!!

I grew my very own zucchini!! In fact, I grew two and more are on the way. I'm so excited to eat something that I grew.

Aunt Amanda and Amity came to visit this week. DV is Amity's shadow. Amity will say "I love this song mom." Then DV will say "I love it too." Everything Amity says DV repeats. He is such a fun little guy.

Wisconsin

We recently went to Wisconsin to visit Dan's family. We had a wonderful time. DV loved playing with his cousins, going outside with the mosquitos, talking to Aunt Myra and Uncle Ken by the fire, and most of all playing with cousing Sage's cars!! I love this picture of DV and Grandpa.

Family Pictures

We recently took family pictures and my cousin got them scrapbook-ready for us!

Introducing G.E.C.

G was born on Decemeber 9th. She was 2 weeks early and was delivered by c-section. So far that has been the worst experience of my life. Very unpleasant! She was well worth it though!!

DV

He has grown up so fast! The love of his life is cars. Dan asked him if he wanted to be a boy scout the other day (Dan is the scoutmaster, poor thing) and DV said, "no, a car scout." That about sums it up. When he wakes up in the morning he wants to play cars, and that is what he does all day!
