Three's a Crowd

Love these kids...

And I thought my lap was crowded with two. 

It's feels good to be loved and wanted, but maybe we could spread out at least enough to turn the pages.

Ellie gets distracted easily especially with longer books. She couldn't resist making faces at Daddy with the camera.

1 month

I've been doing my best to not fall prey to the 'second/third child syndrome' and I've purposefully been making sure I take a good amount of pictures of Max. Max is now one month old and is by far my biggest baby yet. Eleanor was always tiny, and Jack was never above the 25%. Maxwell went to the Dr. yesterday and weighed in at 11lbs. 3oz (85%) and 22.5in. My cousin gave me the idea to take the same picture each month for the first year. It's pretty cool to then put them all together at the end to see how they've grown. So here he is at 1 month! 

Could I really say no?

Along with starting Kindergarten comes all the fun school supplies, accessories, etc... One thing Jack is required to have is a pair of tennis shoes to leave at school for gym class. Last week I took him shopping...

 We found a good pair at Kohls, but silly me thought we should look at Target anyway.

Before I was a mom I always made comments about how dorky those shoes with lights were and I there's no way in the world I would ever buy them for my kids...

I should've known better!

The look on Jack's face when he saw these Spiderman kicks was priceless...It was almost like he was looking to me for permission to 'like' them...and the way he kicks his leg to make them light...

How could I possibly say no?

Off to kindergarten on Tuesday. I love you Jack, and your Spiderman shoes too.

Back to the Lake

After a 6 week leave from the cottage because of Maxwell's arrival we finally made it back last weekend. I was just itching to do some sort of water activity after not doing anything all summer. I am still healing, so a sea-doo ride was about all i could do, but Ellie was thrilled for me to take her out instead of Daddy.
