Holidays are coming!

A quick update on what has happened the last two week. Some of the biggest news is Tyler lost his two front teeth. This alone is pretty exciting, but I have to tell the story of HOW he lost his teeth. The first one was super wiggly and grossing me out. Finally Dee convinced him to tie it to his nerf gun with floss, but the nerf gun wasn't strong enough to pull it. Then he convinced him to tie it to an arrow and shoot it with the bow across the yard. It worked so well and was so fun a few days later he was able to repeat the process with the second tooth. I've attached a short video clip of the second tooth for you to see. Not as cool as the video of the first tooth but too long to put on this.

McKenna made Honor Roll for the first time and we are so proud of her for it. She is growing so big so fast and I love to see the good decisions she makes and the tender heart she blesses us all with.

Carter turned 4 months and at his checkup/shot appointment we found out he is a healthy 15 1/2 pounds. By the time this kid can walk I'll have the biceps I've always wanted! He is sick with a cold this week but has been doing better overall. He's laughing and interacting and is just so much fun.
Halloween came and went with LOTS of candy. The only decent pictures I got were of Carter (mini D)/Dee and Ellie. Tyler and McKenna were a little fickle on their costumes and by the time they decided it was time to head out the door. We had fun and lots of candy but we're ready for the other holidays to start!

Can I just say that it's nice to know that someone else out there understands the extreme backache and arm aches from carrying a heavy kid. When Jack was 4 months old he weighed in at a whopping 16lbs. 14 oz. and still at 8 months old is weighing in at over 19 pounds. A little slow down in the gainage department, but still!!I too have killer biceps. Together we could do some serious damage :)!
