5th Month part 2

It is hard to believe that Andrew and Ethan are 5 months old already. They share this crib but it is now a bit crowded. We turn them at an angle or they will hit each other. Later this week, I'll look for a second crib at a consignment sale.


On October 13 the boys attended their Sabbath School for the first time. No, Andrew can not sit up yet! Maybe in a couple months. They enjoyed the singing and the clouds hanging from the ceiling.


Papa loves to play with the boys. Ethan's shirt says "Too cute for words" which of course I think is true.





David, Nana, Papa, and I attended the PUC alumni dinner on October 17 at Provino's. Though the boys stayed home to go to bed early, we enjoyed passing around this picture.

Below is a video clip that shows the boys excitement with their new toy. Listen for Ethan's happy noises.

Dedication October 6

Andrew and Ethan were dedicated at church on October 6. Unfortunately, I don't remember a lot of what was said during the service because Ethan decided to cry right before we went onto the platform and increased his volume during the prayer while the pastor held him. As the prayer ended, Ethan quieted down but then Andrew started to cry a bit. Oh well, I should have just relaxed because I know I can't control everything.

I hope you enjoy these pictures of all the family. The second photo is with the paternal grandparents and great grandparents.

The third photo is with the maternal grandparents. We're sad that great grandpa and great grandma McCoy could not attend.


Cousin Diana and Ethan share a moment right before he surprised her with spit up that ran down her dress and hit the floor. I could not believe how much food they lost. I hope no clothes were damaged.

5th Month part 1

September 22 we joined our Sabbath School class at Fall Creek Falls State Park for the day. We had church and a great haystack lunch. The weather was just about perfect and the boys loved looking at the clouds and trees. It was difficult for them to nap because they thought they would miss out on something. Ethan took a walk with Daddy to the creek and wore the baseball cap to keep the sun off his head.


Unfortunately, Andrew did not wear his sunscreen and received his first sunburn even though he stayed in the shade all day. He peeled on Monday and by Thursday you couldn't tell he had been burned. It is amazing how fast they heal. His pale skin definitely comes from his mother.

This is the last time we'll put them in the laundry basket. When we first brought them home this made a good bed and carrier. Take a look at the blog "week 1" to see how much they have grown.
