Holy Post!

Terrible photo but they loved the gator!

Holy lag in posts huh? 3 months since an update, and man do I have a lot to say!

Chelsea BROKE her arm! Doctor asked if she was walking @ 7 months... yeah... well she shouldn't be. What did he want us to do, strap her down?! Here she is with the club, she's all better now and working on talking much more!


Actually, both her and Dylan are both walking now. She is saying Momma and Dada, Doozie (Susie), Out, Up, All Done, Shoes, and some other words that I am blanking on right now. In fact, she has an obsession with shoes - makes Leah happy. She lets us know she wants to go outside by going and grabbing a pair of shoes and trying to put them on us or her.


Dylan is saying Dada and Momma and a few other things, but is much less verbal. He is much more emotionally in tune with everyone, and is an observer more than a talker. He uses sign language to tell more and all done, and his receptive language is amazing. He understands just about everything you tell to him, and responds to you when you ask questions and points to things and has an entire conversation that we can't understand about something (namely a cat!).

Caleb has a few new things he has now done. He is far beyond a typical 3 year old's mindset and we are having some growing pains with the twins - but he is amazing, our first, and we are so happy to have him. He shows growth every day, and plays both sides of everyone very nicely, usually to his benefit. We have instituted a sticker system to help prevent the meltdowns and outbursts of a 3 year old, but we know that the twins have a deep effect on him.

First Slip and Slide ( ALSO LEAH'S FIRST!)

First Penn State Game (With Ethan & Noona here)
First theme party (Pirates!)

And - he went to preschool now. Well, we are putting him there. The drop offs aren't going so well right now but... they are going. Hopefully over the next few weeks they get better.

Leah is getting some time out. Thursday is her evening. My mom comes up, we do dinner with the kids and Leah goes out. Once things settle she might do more than shopping at Wal Mart or groceries, she wants to start yoga!

I'm also back to working out. After putting on 10 pounds the past month I decided it was time to start back up. Insanity workouts coupled with P90X the past 3 days have kicked my butt, BUT, I love it.

Work is going well. We have some new trucks (2006) that are running Marcellus Shale sand! Starting with 2 and trying to grow that business as well. Also, our warehouse is full with equipment from Switzerland that is being used in subway construction. AND we are looking at purchasing another warehouse based on a client lease!
