The Sight of Blood

Took William today for his 3 year check up. He is 33 pounds and 39 1/2 inches. He was so grown up prancing around the Dr.s office in his Incredibles undies answering all of the questions he was asked. Then we found out he had to get his finger poked for an anemia check. He didn't flinch when she did it, but when he saw the blood smear (the size of a pin head) on his finger once I took the bandaid off, you would have thought his finger had been amputated. He didn't cry but he was very put out that there was any amount of blood on his finger. Obviously he hasn't gotten hurt very much.

The Force Will Be With Us For A Long Time

We play this a lot. Santa may be bringing ones that actually light up and make sounds, but don't tell.

Friday night they had their first bath together. It was a splash.

William looked so cute as Frankie Stein on Halloween.

Nathan, The Mindless Animal

One of my co-workers said that having a small baby about in the house is like a mindless animal running around. He has only been pulling himself up for about 3 days and he managed his first facial bruise last night. It is hard because he doesn't grasp the concept of not getting hurt. William doesn't help much either.
I don't know how he gets his little chubby body off the ground!

Game On

Nathan is crawling and pulling himself up.

William isn't changing much, but he can count to 14 (sometimes) and he is really good at being a pest.

Halloween at stoy time. He usually runs around and does his own thing. He sat and listened so well when he was younger, I guess he is to comfortable now.

Trick or Treat, Nathan's First

It was a Trick or Treat hayride sponsered by the Naugles/Littletons. Get it Buzz and the Alien. Nathan enjoyed his first hayride and William enjoyed all of the loot.

Dustin and Tera's Wedding

What a fun day! The bride and groom looked awesome and so did the reception rooms??? William wouldn't cooperate for me to take a picture of him but Nathan looks darn cute in his wedding gear.

Nathan cut his first tooth last week!!

Birthday Parties Rock

Our little preemie is 3.
He got his very own John Deere tractor from Grandma Barb.

He had been asking for a few weeks for a Buzz costume. He looks so cute in it. He will be wearing it for trick or treat.

The "Hippo" game is one of his new birthday favorites.

Nathan is 7 Months

Nathan is finally getting it together during the night. It is great to sleep more than 3 hours at a time. He loves playing in the clothes basket. He is a busy, busy baby. He is very anxious to catch up with his brother. It won't be long.

William The Big Brother

William is napping again! Hallelujuh! A few days out of the week they both even sleep at the same time!!!

He looked so cute sleeping with his Charlie Brown under his arm. He is really asleep, he wasn't posing.

I can't believe how he is growing. He will be three in just over a week. It goes to fast.

Nathan is Part Groundhog

Nathan is always getting himself stuck under beds, couches, tables (any variety), swings, car tires and chairs. He seems to have this need to burrow, but then once he gets where he is going, his groundhog instincts don't kick in. So many weird things happen when you live in the country.

Bad Baby-6 months old

What a cute little devil. Speaking of devil. He was awake and playing mysteriously quiet in his bed the other morning. Here he had managed to pull a shopping bag ( not a flimsy one) partly into his bed that had cardboard reinforcing the handle. He chewed up the cardboard and there were little pieces all over his bed. He is my little deviant. I have made sure to get all objects away from his bed that he could pull inside. Yes, I realize I am very lucky that he only chewed up cardboard.

The boy is constantly getting his arms and/or legs stuck through the rails of his crib.

Perry Reunion

I love having matching kids because matching outfits are so much fun! Dustin and Tera had bought them the shirts and I go the pants.

Willaim enjoys some swatter bubbles. I didn't know fly swatters would make such good bubbles.

Funky Hair Don'ts

It was decided that Nathan has inherited his Poompa's funky hair do.

Labor Day

Visited family in Ft. Wayne over the weekend. Here the boys are enjoying some time with their Nana and Poompa. William was too busy with his slush to look at the camera and Nathan was too busy watching William with his slush to look at the camera.

Getting Crazy

William always spends to much time around the keg at his friend's birthday parties. It makes him crazy.

Nathan July 2006

Wanted to add new photos, but will make due with some oldies.

Nathan, William and the Octagon Hole

Nathan is log rolling, eating baby food and trying very hard to sit up on his own.

William was looking at a new bridge at my grandparents and he asked if it was an octagon hole. It was infact, an octagon hole. His brain is already to the point of hurting and he is only 2.

Back to School

I started back to school on the 28th. I have Advanced Reading 7 and 8 this year. I will also be responsible for gifted in grades k-4. And I manage to fit it all in, in just 3 1/2 hours per day!! Both boys are doing great without me. I was nervous, but it is going smoothly. Sorry I know you don't want to hear about me.

Digital Camera Take 2

During our vacation I either "lost" my camera or it was stollen. I prefer to think it was stollen. I just got my new camera out of the box, took a picture of each kid and was ready to down load. When I tried to install the program, it would not allow me because I am not the "administrator" of the computer. Bet you can't guess who is???? So, I must wait until the administrator gets home so I can add some new photos.

Little Baby

This is a recent picture of Nathan after a bath. He has the biggest blue eyes. He is eating baby food and cereal everyday now. I go back to school on the 28th and I am sure he is not looking forward to it. He won't take a bottle, so at least he has something else to eat.
