This week will be the last of Megan’s softball games.  She has a game on Wednesday at 7:30 and then another sometime on Saturday.  Megan has really enjoyed playing softball and I’m sure she will anxiously be waiting for next year’s season.  I’ve also enjoyed helping out, except when it has been extremely hot.  I’m [...]

These are hot off the presses!  We just received Megan’s softball pictures at this morning’s game.  They turned out really cute, not that I had any doubt.  We weren’t even there when they took them so I had no idea what to expect.

For both girls Kelly has taken a ten week picture of them laying naked on their stomach.  They were both strong enough to hold their head up and Kelly was able to turn them into some really cute scrapbook pages.  Monday it was Kaden’s turn.  I’ll save the nude pictures for his scrapbook, but here’s [...]

Yesterday Megan attended her last day of Kindergarten. She has really enjoyed going to school and has grown a lot academically. Her reading skills have really blossomed throughout the year. On Tuesday we had the opportunity to attend her Kindergarten graduation. She received a certificate for her accomplishment and we presented [...]

Kelly and I celebrated our twelfth anniversary on Saturday by taking a small day trip to Chicago.  Grandma and Grandpa were nice (and brave) enough to keep the girls while we brought Kaden along for the ride.  We had a very nice (and quiet) trip there, with only one little blood pressure rising situation.  We [...]

Yesterday we took Kaden in for his two month check up.  He weighed in at 15 lbs. 2 oz.!  He is also 25 1/4 inches long.  At least he is getting taller and not just wide.  I hope that someday soon he will slow down.  It’s so sad when your baby grows so fast.  The girls [...]
