Kelvin is 4 months old!

Kelvin turned 4 months old on December 4. He weighed 18 lbs. 12 oz and was 26 inches long. It is so much fun to watch him grow. He is trying to grab things in front of him and he is always so smiley!

Seaside trip in October

In October, we headed to Seaside to enjoy the weekend with all of Carl's dad and his siblings and their families. We had such a wonderful weekend! Here are some pictures of our trip.

October fun

Despite the fact that it is half way through November, I have yet to post pictures from Halloween and our October festivities. Preston had a great time on Halloween. He loved walking around and seeing the other kids. He also loved helping give out candy. For the last few weeks, he periodically looks at me with a sad face and says, "Oh no, Halloween is over."

He loved the giant slide at the pumpkin patch and climbed up the straw mountain and went down it many times

Visits

My mom and our dear friend Marianne came to visit in early October. We had a great time shopping and visiting. Here are a few cute pictures of the weekend.

Lately...

Well, our life seems to be so busy these days after having a new baby, moving, and renovating a house all at the same time. We are (and when I say we, I mostly mean Carl since I am busy watching the boys, but sometimes I have a few free minutes to help wipe grout or throw paint on something) working on our bathroom upstairs. We had torn everything but the vanity out and we have been living with only our bathroom downstairs. We are ready to have one upstairs where we have our bedroom and our main living space, including our kitchen. Other than renovations (and Carl golfing) we have been enjoying our two wonderful little boys. Kelvin seems older each day and actually slept through the night last night! I was very excited to get a full night's sleep. He is such an social baby and makes all sorts of cooing sounds to communicate. He also loves to smile, especially when he sees Preston.

My sister also came to visit for a week, which was wonderful. While she was visiting, we drove to Meridian, Idaho to visit my brother, Lucas, and his wife Leslie. Leslie ran a 5K, which we were able to watch. We had such a good visit and are glad we can live closer to them, even though we miss my sister terribly. Anyway, here are a random assortment of pictures over the last few weeks.

Here is Preston loading his wheelbarrow full of stuff to take to throw in our trailer. He always says "I'm just helping Daddy do projects."

Kelvin is 2 months old!

Kelvin turned two months old today! He is more alert daily and loves to watch Preston and our dog Dallas. He is a little chunk weighing 15 lbs 4 oz and is 24 inches long! He is 2 lbs more than Preston was at 2 months! He is very smiley, which is so much fun....

Kelvin is 1 month old!

It's always hard to believe how quick time goes, especially when you have a baby. Kelvin is already one month old. We are still keeping busy with Preston and Kelvin, as well as getting settled in our new house and working on renovation projects, not to mention Carl starting to work in his dad's practice. Anyway, Preston and Kelvin both are doing well. Kelvin is a little chunk and weighed 11 pounds 10 ounces on his one month birthday and was 22 inches long.
