Gabe's First Day of Preschool

Gabe has his first day of preschool today. He also has an eye infection. He is so miserable. We took him to the doctor yesterday and now he has eye drops. His eyes actually look better today. It is really sad. He told me, "All done owie eyes." Hopefully, soon he will be.

A Day at the Park

Matt and I took our kids and four nieces and nephews to the park on Saturday. It was a lot of fun. It was great to have visitors. My kids were so excited for cousins to come. They stayed the night and went to church with us on Sunday. They were so well-behaved and did great. That being said, seven kids is still a lot!

Running partners

Gabe and Parker go running with me in the mornings. It has been in the 30's and so they get bundled up. While running on Wednesday, during the first 15 minutes I lost both hats, a blanket, and a pacifier. I spent the next 15 minutes looking for them. I guess they need to just wear hats attached to their jackets. They are great partners though. They enjoy looking around and Gabe shows me all the animals we run by and makes the noises too.

Vacuuming

Gabe LOVES the vacuum and has since he was a baby. He used to follow us around with his lawnmower and vacuum the carpet. Lately he has wanted to actually vacuum. He is only three but I thought, "Why not." It took him about 45 minutes to vacuum just the living room, but he did a great job. He vacuumed again today. Doesn't he seem happy about it? I just hope he still does when he's twelve.

School Time

Matt is back at school. He will be getting his bachelor's in Health Science at the end of this school year! We are really excited. Our kids were excited to be with Dad on his first day of school. We are proud of you, Matt!

Parker

Parker was crying in the kitchen. He climbed in this pot and got stuck. Poor cute Parker.
