8 Months and the End of School

Sorry this is late!

We have had a few very busy weeks here. Many medical appointments (all checkups) and other fun things. We had optometrist appointments. Spencer goes back in 6 months to see if his astigmatism is worse and perhaps needs glasses. Logan goes in six months to see about starting vision therapy for his lazy eyes. No big surprises and eyes are healthy otherwise. Yay!

This Mom? Is this what I'm not supposed to grab?

Duncan turned 8 months old this month. He is sitting up and rolling around all the time. He loves toys as well as watching his brothers. It was pretty much impossible to get a photo without him grabbing the little logo.

Where is it Mom?

We also had the end of school Field Day for Jack's PE PLUS program. Logan is starting in the fall and he was able to participate as well. What a fun day! Lots of fun and creative activities ending with a tug-of-war competition. Grandma and Grandpa came with us so I could be a parent helper. Duncan and Spencer also had a fun time walking around watching.

Never mind my finger in the photo, LOL Jack in the green jacket, Logan in the blue and yellow behind him

We finally finished the laundry room. So I can finally post some pictures. It really has been much better.

Jack earned his Tiger badge in Scouts! It was really special to see how excited he was to get his last merit badges and cross over to Wolf Scout.

June will be busy too. Swimming lessons for the big kids. A couple of Scout hikes, the Raingutter Regatta, and (hopefully) painting the kitchen cabinets and finishing that project.

More hikes in July, PE PLUS summer camp and starting up our next school year. I will update when I can!

Until next time.

Cut Out the Middle Man

I t was snack time at the Christensen house and I decided to use up some leftover cream cheese and salsa and chips (just lying around -I promise!!) Jack, as it turns out is new to the world of dipping. I used some of his crunchies and dipped it in the salsa cheese mix. He seemed to enjoy the flavor of it. I went into the kitchen to fix us both a drink and when I came back out I realized that Jack decided he'd had enough of the middle man and went right into dipping with the tools God gave him! I laughed so hard I had to share it with you! No One's Around to Catch Me... E xcep t Mom and her camera... I guess he thought it was good bean dip! He ate the rest of the bowl!!

7 Weeks Old!

All Dressed Up and Nowhere to Go! Smile for Daddy! Baby, You Can Drive My Car Well, Little Jack is almost 8 weeks old now. He has been a busy boy, and we are starting to get into a more regular routine. I think it is good for all involved. We usually get up about when Daddy does at 5:00. Sometimes we get another nap after that first meal, but sometimes we don't. And that's OK. Our new nighttime routine involves bath-time at 7:00 (on bath days) so that he can eat and drift off to sleep and maybe give Mom and Dad an hour before their 9:00 bedtime. Jack can still usually go 4 hours at night. Sometimes we are unlucky and he gets up every 2 hours. This is rare now. Sometimes we are very lucky and he'll sleep 6 to 8 hours. Not too often, but it is a taste of things to come. He is getting really good at holding his head up. I think he gets bored on some days because you cannot just leave him in his bouncy seat - he cries and cries. He went into the doctor's last...

Second First: First day of School!

Well, the day finally came. It felt like we waited a long time, but the day arrived quickly nonetheless. The first day of school! Maybe it seemed to come so soon since the kids start school when they are 2 1/2 or 3 now. Guess there's more to learn than when I was a kid, LOL. It was more stressful than I thought to select a school. We visited a few local(ish) schools and finally settled on Holy Cross Lutheran Early Learning Center . It's only 15 minutes away, which is pretty close for where we live. We liked this preschool mainly because of the small size of the classes. And when we took Jack for a tour he seemed the most comfortable. So I guess in the end the choice was pretty simple - I just over worry about things most of the time. So he goes Tuesday and Thursday mornings from 9:00 - 12:00. It's an adjustment for all of us, but so far so good. Ready to Leave That was Jack all ready to go on the first day. Eventually he'll grow into that backpack. B...
