11 Weeks Old

This boy has THE CUTEST faces! Such expression!

I attempted to take his picture in his tie that I made him. I think the knot is too big, or his neck/head is too small!

Cute bowtie!

10 Weeks Old

Tyler is 10 weeks old!

We've been watching a lot of Olympics!

Kathryn & I volunteered for Saturday Jubilee. This is an annual event benefitting local food pantries. We hand out flyers to customers coming in to the store, and ask that they consider purchasing a few items to donate. One man donated this whole cart full of cereal! This was our third year to participate and I am always surprised at the people who are willing to give and those that are not.

What Tyler does when you blow in his face!

Sydney's Fancy Nancy Camp

Sydney attended Fancy Nancy camp at STAGES St. Louis. They learned a song from West Side Story (I Feel Pretty) and South Pacific (Dites Moi Pourquoi). They also performed a play at the end of the week. Sydney is our bright shiny star. She loves acting and performing.

This is the courtyard where they ate their snack each day. Her camp was in Chesterfield (about a 30 minute drive) and only 3 hours long, so I drove down each day and stayed in the area. I had a few sweet friends watch Kathryn & Reagan for 3 of the 5 days so that they wouldn't have to hang around with me.

9 Weeks Old

Tyler loves when we talk to him and he is starting to smile and coo at us.

At his 2 month check up, Tyler weighed 9 lbs. 6.5 oz.

Sydney is 6!

Our sweet, sassy, Sydney turned 6! I bought her this yellow dress for her birthday. She is such a fancy girl. She loves to wear fancy clothes and fancy shoes. She is a great sister and loves to take care of her little brother and sister.

Our daddy met us at Red Robin (Sydney's choice) after work. When she saw him walking up, she shouted, "Whatcha got there?"..."Are those flowers?"...."For me?" It was so cute!

We offered to let her get her ears pierced for her birthday and she gladly accepted. Here she is before the piercing. She was very brave and only showed a little bit of worry right before it happened. Kathryn told us she would decide if she wanted to have hers pierced after, "I see how Sydney reacts."

Right after they pierced her ears, she burst into tears and I was worried that it had hurt her! We asked her if she was okay and she said, "I'm just SO happy!" Of course I couldn't help but to cry as well! Kathryn decided that she did want to have hers pierced, but was disappointed when we told her she would have to wait for another day. We didn't want to take anything away from it being a special experience for Sydney.
