First One

Thank you so much for the idea, Melissa! This seems like a great way to let you all in on the comings and goings of our house.
Where life is at for us: Charlie is doing great at work and his little weekend job as a bartender is proving to be quite successful!

I teach a 4 year-old preschool class. Brad gets to go to the school for free! It doesn't work out very well for us to be in the same classroom for too long....so I try to let him be ;) School agrees with Brad; he looks forward to going. He carries a blankie that my mom made in his backpack. The monkey on the front of the backpack comes out for easy snuggling at naptime. He is almost 4 years old! His birthday is October 17th, so we're going to be planning a party very soon. (Take the Poll). Sienna is such a "good" baby. She is eating jar food now. Her favorites are sweet potatoes and peaches. She babbles up a storm! Crawling is just around the corner...she can crawl backwards and pull herself up to a sitting position.

Yes, her ears are pierced now. She cried for less than a minute (then was laughing). I was a little bit nervous, but it went well! She's big and strong like her brother; in the 97th percentile (47% more than average) for weight and the 100th percentile (50% more than average) for length.

The animals are doing good. Our newest addition, Marty, fits in very well.

How did we do in APA Nationals in Vegas? We did fairly well...there were over 700 teams from the USA and Canada there, we placed 129th. It was alot of fun (and stress), but most of all, it was an awesome team achievement. Charlie and I play on the same team one night a week, and are each on a seperate team on different nights. Hopefully we'll bring home some more MVP trophies this session ;)

We plan on renovating our kitchen in the near future. I think the tile backsplash will be the most challenging part of it all.

So this is our blog! Check back often, check for a Poll on the right-hand side of the page, leave your thoughts!! Thanks for checking it out :D
