Healthy boys!

Work has been keeping me busy! But things are good.

The boys had their well baby/child check ups yesterday. Since I was at work, Casey took them.

Austin at 3 years is....
39 3/4 inches tall and weighs 35 lbs, he's 1.5 inches taller than Georgia at 3, but they weighed the same. Austin was so excited to see corn in the grocery store. There was no way he was going home without some.Levi at 4 months is...
26 1/4 inches tall and weighs 16lbs 12ozs! He's 20 ounces fatter than both Georgia & Austin at the same age! And he is taller than both of them. There was a concern from the steroid he was on that his growth could be restricted, obviously not a problem. Levi tried a couple bites of cereal, he wasn't impressed. We'll try it again in a week or so.

A Quick Update

Well, if you haven't heard, I finally got a job! It only took 10 months to find one. I'm pretty excited about it. I start on June 21st. It's just a lab tech position working with metal alloys, but it is a whole new field for me and I'm excited to learn it.

The position is also 2nd shift. That is going to take some creative thought to work out. I am training on first shift, and then moving to 2nd. Our daycare lady closes at 6pm. Casey's mom is going to help out until the start of the school year with the 6pm until Case is done working time, we just need to work out something for the fall.

Georgia is beyond excited to start going back to daycare full time. She is the type that has to be doing something or going somewhere. She is also my little Mama. She loves to help with Levi.And speaking of Levi, did you see who still has blue eyes? The hair that is coming in is so light. The recessive genes are strong in this boy!And my other boy. Austin is such a die hard farmer. He farmed himself to sleep the other day! He broke the hitch on his toy plow and he sobbed for hours. When I ask him what he wants for his birthday he replies, "Skid steers, tractors and dump trucks!".

Levi

His eyes are still blue and the little bit of hair he has is blonde! He's getting so big. He is so happy. He completely lights up like this whenever he sees a face he knows.
His gangster baby look.
I brought out the excersaucer and thought that he'd still be too little to use it. He loves it. Just look at that face... "Of course I'm big enough for this Mom. What did you think? That I'm some sort of tiny baby? Watch me even grab my toys and drop them on the floor!"He is also a drool/spit up monster. He always needs a bib on.

Memorial Day

The morning was spent doing puzzles. In the afternoon we went to a picnic. It's the same picnic with the same friends and family (Austin & Mason below), and always fun.I made peanut butter brownies (double the recipe), which were very good with chocolate frosting as Georgia demonstrated. And blue cheese dip (use a food processor to mix), which was also very good served with french bread or crackers.

After lunch we headed down to the gully. It's so neat. The water at the deepest is maybe two feet. The kids just love walking, swimming, splashing in it. We even talked Case into coming down with us!
Levi slept the whole time. He stayed up at the pavilion with Nana. It's about a quarter mile hike down to the gully.
And what picnic isn't complete without beating Nemo to shreads with a baseball bat?
We go in reverse age order and only three hits per kid. Each kid got two turns before Nemo was laid to rest.
And then we came home.
