Hey Cousins!

I need some ideas for the Christmas exchange this year. I talked to a few of you, and it sounds like it might be best to make it optional this year. That way, if you don't want to participate, you don't have to.

Anyhow, one idea that came up was a board game exchange. You'd draw a name and buy a board game for that cousin. What do you think? Any better ideas???

PLEASE let me know soon, so we can get names drawn early and have plenty of time to shop (or procrastinate!)

Thanks!
Kristen

Ella Margaret arrived on May 21st at 8:28am. She weighed 7lbs 4oz and is 21in long. We came home from the hospital on Sun and everyone is doing great. Logan is being a great big brother and Caleb still has no clue. He just looks at her and then goes back to playing.

We've been having a lot of fun outside lately.  Between trips to the zoo, playing in the "pool", walking all around, and talking a blue streak, Melodie has kept us pretty busy this spring.

I call it a ponytail, Ben calls it a sprout. My mom calls it Payback Time. : ) Maybe the aunts remember my hair like this?

Where has the time gone? I can't believe they are already 2 months old. This has truly been the best 2 months ever, and I'm sure it's only going to get better. God has truly blessed Dan and me.

Wil and Drew had their 2 month appointment and SHOTS today. They were troopers, Wil screamed a little more than Drew, and mommy could have cried harder than both of them...that was a horrible thing to put a mom (and a dad) through.

At 2 months...
Wilson is 22.5 inches long and 12 lbs. 9.5 oz. (Yes he WAS our little guy). He also has severe acid reflux, and has given us some pretty good scares (choking and quitting breathing).

Drew is 23.5 inches long and 12 lbs. 1 oz. This child is healthy as a horse and has virtually no ailments, unlike his brother.

The boys are also sleeping 9 hours at night (we are hoping this continues).

We are so blessed.

The kiddo's are getting so big---Brady age-wise and Mady size-wise :) They are doing great, especially now that the weather is nice...they love to be outside!

Brady is 95% potty-trained---the 5% he is currently deciding is reserved for going #2 completely on the toilet but at least he is in underwear everyday and all-night---finally, no more changing like 25 diapers a day!

Mady is popping teeth and eating cheerios which she loves...still sleeping great and wearing pigtails as much as possible :)

Here's a few spring pic's of the kid's...enjoy!
