Happy Grandparents Day!

We had the pleasure in celebrating Grandparents Day yesterday with Grandma Fehrmann at her retirement community. There were all sorts of games & fun things to do. We all had a great time!!

We finished up the day with a yummy ice cream!

Let's give this another try...

You may have noticed...it has been a REALLY long time since our last post. About the time of the last post, we discovered the world of Facebook. At that point, we thought we could update things there & wouldn't need to do it here as well. That was all until about a week ago. I was feeling a little nostalgic & pulled up the blog...reading through many of the posts. It was then I realized that the blog was sort of acting like a journal. I had all sorts of memories & thoughts written down...along with pictures.

So, in an effort to keep a written memory of our family life...I have decided to get back into the blogging world again. Maybe no one will ever read it...but at the very least I will have a written record for my kids someday.

In an effort to catch everyone up to speed...

• Kenny has officially started school this year. His is attending all-day kindergarten. He has a great teacher & he seems to be liking things so far! Here is a picture of Kenny...taken on his first day of school a couple of weeks ago!

• John is going through a phase of rapid development. His speech really has taken off...watch out...he will repeat anything you say! He loves to cuddle with his stuffed animals. I think he has an entire zoo in his crib every night when he goes to bed! And, don't want to leave him out...here is a recent pic of John as well...
  
  
  

Like I said...I have no idea if anyone will actually have a desire to read my posts, but I do plan on updating as things happen. Ideally, I will post at least once a month.

Happy Belated Birthday John Henry & More...

No, we didn't forget John Henry's 1st Birthday! As many of you know, we celebrated a week early. Here are a couple pictures from that fun day...

And here are a few from his recent portrait session. Not sure if you can tell in the pictures, but he did not want to be there. Luckily, we were able to get a couple good ones...

And, one last brag on John. Here is a video of his latest accomplishment...he went from barely walking to almost running! Sorry it's sideways...I can't figure out how to flip it around!

I know this is getting long...but hang in a little bit longer! Kenny just finished writing his letter to Santa. I wanted to show off his great handwriting skills. Keep in mind, he could barely write his name 6 months ago...so he is making great strides! I started the letter for him, writing what he asked me to. He finished it with his list.

If you made it to the end of this very long post-Congratulations! We can't wait to see many of you in the next few weeks for Christmas celebrations!
