Fall is my favorite time in Michigan. Although lately it's been feeling a little more like winter, the trees, leaves, pumpkin patches and apple orchards are in full swing and it's just beautiful. I love living in a place where fresh cider and homemade donuts are a staple everywhere you go.
Jonathan is doing great, he smiles and coos and just melts my heart whenever I look at him. He's 8 weeks old, 13 pounds and a little over 23 inches long. His brothers couldn't adore him more. Maybe a little too many kisses, head rubs and snuggles, because he had his first cold already! Just a runny nose and a little congestion at night, but poor guy, he was a trooper though.
Elijah is enjoying being four, and is doing great at school, his current interests are superheroes, baseball, (sometimes basketball-only when daddy is headed out to play with a friend :), loves pretending about everything, ninja turtles, and wrestling with daddy.
Jacob will be 3 at the end of December and follows in his brothers footsteps, whatever Elijah does, Jacob does. They love playing and pretending together. Jacob has been really into catching bugs and spiders, not so much anymore, but when it wasn't as cold, they'd spend an hour in the backyard, just going around trying to catch things. Jacob's current interests include, reading books (he'll take stacks and just sit up at night 'reading' to himself) puzzles, racing cars, superheroes and wrestling with daddy.
Kevin is keeping busy with school, and trying to get all the preparations for taking the bar next summer. He has a big test coming up called the NPRE which I believe is an ethics test that you have to take before practicing law. Even though he's still pretty busy with school, he has a lot more time this semester to spend with us, which has been great.
I am doing good, trying to adjust with a three kid schedule which has been interesting at times :) Getting a moderate amount of sleep :) Excited to start playing basketball with some women from our church in a rec league, which should be fun, I need to start getting in shape!
Here's what we've been up to these past couple months...:-)
