Long time between posts

As I sit here watching Tommy rip off a sign taped to a tub of toys, I cannot believe 11 months (tomorrow) has gone by since this angel entered our lives.  I also know that it has been almost a year since I last posted.  Let's just say this year has been a busy one to say the least.  Here's a little info on what the boys have been up to over the past 11/12 months.

Jacob

  • Adjusted well to a new school, new teacher, and new friends
  • Worked very hard in school and made great gains
  • Played football in the fall-not his favorite sport
  • Participated in the MN Wild's Little Wild Learn to Play Hockey Program and loved it
  • Played his first year as a Shakopee Mite 1 on the Predators and improved in his skating
  • Participated in a week-long hockey camp with his neighbor Kaden and Kaden's cousin 
  • Learned how to ride a bike without training wheels
  • Spent a lot of time outside in the neighborhood with friends
  • Just finishing his first year playing Mighty Mites baseball in Shakopee and had his dad as a coach
  • Worked hard to be a great big brother to Thomas
Thomas
  • Good sleeper and eater from the start
  • Loves to smile
  • Very curious
  • Makes cute noises and faces
  • Army crawled in his own unique way
  • Fast crawler
  • Walking along furniture
  • Working on cutting his 5th tooth-not fun!
  • Loves to feed himself
  • Enjoys swimming and being in the water-except when it is too cold
  • Sneaky...
  • Tolerates his helmet that is helping to round out his head (on since mid-April)
  • Loves his big brother
  • Likes to see his cousin/twin, Parker, and always steals his nuk
  • Can be both a Mommy's and Daddy's boy
We had to all say goodbye to Kirby at the beginning of the summer. He had a history of eating things he shouldn't and we knew there was a chance his stomach could flip and surgery would be the only way to fix it, and it could happen over again.  Joe and I were out of town when Kirby went into the vet and we had to make the decision to put him down.  It has been hard on all of us adjusting to a house without a dog.  Jake will have his moments of missing him. At different times I swear I have heard his collar, or toenails walking through the house.  I have caught myself thinking that I need to let him out before I go to bed.  We hope the get a new dog sometime in the near future.

I will post a few recent pictures of the boys from the past few months.
