Fun on the Farm

We had a quick, fun trip back to Indiana this past weekend. We got to spend some time on the farm, celebrate Tori's 7th birthday, and go to a baby shower for my cousin. Here are some pictures from our trip.























Happy Birthday Tori!!!

Labor Day Weekend

What a fun Labor Day Weekend it was! Alan, Melissa, and Ethan came to visit from Chicago. The boys had so much fun playing together. We went downtown Ann Arbor to walk through the Farmer's Market and Kerrytown. We also made a pit stop at the wonderful Cupcake Station. I made several of my new favorite meals for them while they were here too: Cheese Fondue and Churrasco Steaks! We went to two different parks to let the boys burn off some energy and we also got to have date nights and go to the movie theater. Here are some of my favorite pics taken last weekend.













We also got to see Carson's best friend from New Jersey! They stayed two different nights with us while they were in Michigan visiting with their family. We were so happy to see them and catch up. Carson was so excited to see Isaac and Ben again. He (all the time) asks me to go to New Jersey to play with them. If only he knew how far away it is! :)

Here's a cute picture of the boys taken after their baths and right before bedtime.

Carson's First Day of Preschool

Yesterday was Carson's first day of preschool. He was so excited to go and had been asking me if he could go to school for the past 2 months! Here are some pictures from his first day.



Here he is showing us "Little Carson". When we went to Meet the Teacher last week, the teacher gave him this poster board cutout and told him to decorate it so that it looks just like him. He had to take it with him to the first day of class. It's hard to see but "Little Carson" does have a nose and mouth.



Showing off his new Lightning McQueen backpack!



When I picked him up, I could tell he had so much fun. On the car ride home, he talked non-stop about school. "Mommy! I cut circles, played with trains, ate Goldfish crackers, applesauce, and drank water. There are 2 girls and 5 boys....." I was so happy to hear all the details and know that he had a wonderful 1st day. Tomorrow he goes back for Day #2.

Kadence is 4 Months Old!

We went to the Dr. last week and here are her 4 month measurements:

Weight: 15 lbs 9 oz (87%)
Height: 26 inches (96%)
Head Circumference: 41.5 cm (50%)

Her favorite past times right now are blowing raspberries and playing with her feet. She's also started eating cereal and some fruits and veggies that mommy made for her. So far she's had zucchini and apples. Up next are pumpkin, yellow squash, and sweet potatoes!

This girl has been blessed with an abundance of hair! I always thought Carson had a lot of hair when he was a baby but not even close to the amount that Kadence has. We always get the cutest comments out in public about her head full of hair!

Below are Carson's 4 month pics and stats just for a fun comparison.





Carson's 4 month stats:
