Two months with Gus!

Gus is thriving. He's sleeping "through" the night, with 7 hours being a common event. Yay! He likes to talk, take baths and make lots and lots of bubbles! He looks so much like the other two that it seems like he's always been here. I'm absolutely loving having three; I can't explain why it seems easier than two, except maybe my priorities are shifting a bit? However, having three kids has really taken a toll on TJ!

The quintessential middle child

I hang my head in shame that I have to look to Grandpa Mark for photos of Ted. He's doing great, but he's very often doing his own thing when the camera comes out. He's enjoying whatever he's doing at the moment he's doing it, whether he's playing batman with his brother, playing cars, pirates, spiderman, castle or tending to his flock of baby animals. Here he is in Kearney at a pumpkin patch with Max and Grandpa Mark and Grandma Diane.

Max update

Max is doing well. His little leg is healing nicely and he's enjoying learning to read and doing a million "projects", most of them science illustrations and super hero designs for bikes, playgrounds and motor vehicles to send to Santa as Christmas requests. He's loving an art class at Josyln where he's making a Mexican mask, and his devotion to his new baby brother is only growing.... He about broke my heart the day he excitedly dressed up for River City Round Up celebrations at school, but upon arriving and seeing no one else donning cowboy gear, shed his outfit and traded shoes with Ted. Does he have to worry about what everyone else is doing already???? He further proved he's growing up by losing his first tooth.
