Other than trying to keep a low profile so everyone stays healthy.........
Well, Easton has been going to "school" on Monday evenings in order to get him out of the house and run off some of the pent up energy that only a 22 month old can have. It's a community Education class where he can meet and play with other kids his age and where they have lots of age appropriate toys and activities he can experience. He loves to go to school and always walks into the room like he owns the place! Mom or dad always stay with him, but I don't think he'd care if we weren't there!

Other than going to school, Easton went trick or treating for the first time this Halloween, carved pumpkins for the first time and he's been busy helping dad with fall clean up inside the house and outside as well!
Kids = Cheap labor! Just kidding, the one spot he washed was very clean though!
And he got to ride the tractor with dad too!! The highlight of his week I think!
This kid LOVES his tractors!
Christian has been busy learning how to move all over. He is rolling like a pro and has even started scooting around a bit. He tries to get his knees up underneath him, but doesn't use his hands at the same time so isn't quite up on his hands and knees. Regardless, he can get places fairly quickly with his scooting!
Floor time with his big brother
Christian is still one of the happiest babies I have ever met. He is truly a blessing and a joy to have around!
And Charlie....Our little Charlie Bear works so hard....between eating enough each day, trying to gain weight, going to physical therapy AND learning new skills, this is one tough kid! Along with his bottles, Charlie has started eating more solids which we hope will help pick up his weight gain.
Yes, Charlie fit in one of our pumpkins! He looks thrilled, right!

He has really started to enjoy eating
And.....Charlie got his first battle wound from growing up with a big brother. Easton decided it would be fun to throw Christian's half eaten bottle at Charlie's head. Charlie ended up with a goose egg and nice bruise on his head and Easton ended up in time out. Easton decided it wasn't so funny after-all once he sat in time out for 1 minute (which, keep in mind, is like forever for a 22 month old!).
Poor Charlie recovered quickly after some snuggles with mom.
So, we've been asked how Tyler and I are holding up with our 3 hooligans.........We're doing okay. It's chaotic and stressful at times, but we can't imagine life without any one of our boys. We get out from time to time on date nights which helps us re-group. This last weekend we had a "mega-date" where the boys went to grandma and grandpa's for the day and night and Tyler and I were able to spend some much needed time together where we explored a cave in St. Paul, went rock climbing, got to eat 2 full meals without interruption and then enjoyed a concert AND got to sleep in. I know, unbelievable! But we realized that we're getting too old to do all that in one day and stay out so late. I think we're both still recovering 2 days later!
