Jay and Kristen also visited this weekend, so we finally got to meet each other’s kids! Sam is pretty much a heartbreaker. Don’t know how we managed not to get any pictures of adults, but here are the kids before bed. Too bad no one was looking at the camera…

Elizabeth's Four Month Stats
Posted in Elizabeth on Sep 16th, 2009
Lizzie had her four-month check-up today. She’s gone down a little on the growth charts (from 75th percentile to 50th for weight), but she’s still perfectly average, so we’re not concerned. She might be slowing down right now because of her lovely 13 hour nights. Yep, 13 hours. She’s been sleeping in ’til 8 the […]
So our last road trip until Thanksgiving took us to Royal Oak for a wedding this weekend. We’d seen Grandpa and Grandma when they came here a few weeks ago, but this was the first time with Nona and Uncle Matthew since the 4th of July!
Morning Reading
Posted in Children's Books, Elizabeth, Tommy on Sep 10th, 2009

So while I was feeding Elizabeth this morning, the phone rang and I didn’t answer it because I was upstairs and it was downstairs. Five minutes later, I went down to check the message, and an exasperated woman left a message about how she was trying to reach me because I was a reference for […]
Elizabeth's Nursery
Posted in Elizabeth, Homemaking on Sep 1st, 2009

Bottle update: Elizabeth has taken a bottle the last three mornings…and she’s sleeping through the night again. Sunday and Monday nights she woke up at about 4 but we didn’t want to feed her because we wanted her to be good and hungry to take the bottle in the morning, so Derek just changed her […]
So far, today is going better, and I’m going to continue positive thinking by posting the pictures from our visit with my friend Ann Louise. She took MegaBus up from St Louis to visit us for the weekend! We took the kids to the park, talked a ton, and went to see “Julie and Julia” […]
