A new look for Harrison!

Harrison got glasses today!  Look how cute our little man looks! 

His eye was turning in but a year ago when we took him in it was his nose bridge that made it appear to be going in.  But because it had not stopped, I took him back in to get retested.  Turns out he was not seeing 3D well and his eye as turning in to compensate.  The glasses should correct this and there is a good chance he will not need them after age 10 or so.

He took them off and on today but by the end of the day, I think I was telling him to keep them on a little less.  Hopefully in a week or so he will leave them on his face!   Fingers crossed they do not break or get lost!

With his cute personality, I think he looks so handsome!


Back to the farm...

We headed back to the farm this week on a free morning.  Fun times on a beautiful fall day!  We came home with a couple small pumpkins too, The boys proudly put them by their cabin in the backyard as a fall decoration.

Hot Shots!

I signed Andrew up for a class that introduces several sports and team concepts and sportsmanship.  Until next year, we thought this would be a good introduction to sports and see what the boys may be interested in.

Well, I told Harrison he could do it when he turns 3 (in November) but he was screaming, I want to be 3 when he saw it in person.  I talked to them and they let him in early because it was a small class and he was so close!  Harrison is our true sport boy and this is right up his alley. 

So far they have done soccer, kick ball, football, dodgeball and hockey! 

They both love it ---- running the entire hour!

There pictures are horrible but perhaps  I can get better ones in the coming weeks.


Puppet Show for Mom!

Tonight when we were down in the basement, the boys decided to do a puppet show for me.  It was not your typical show, there were no real puppets - just hands and most of the time, the boys were under the table and behind the blanket so you could not see anything!  It was funny...they made up stories for thier shows.  Harrison's were all about fire trucks and Andrew's alligators...no surprise there! 

Caroline watched for a little bit but then was off getting into trouble.  I may have another climber on my hands!





Fall in the air!

The weather as cooled off, leaves are starting to change and we purchased our first 2 pumpkins for the front of the house!  Fall is in the air!

Here is Andrew and Caroline helping me bring the pumpkins to the front of the house.  Harrison was around just off playing with the hose again!  That will be one thing I will be happy to turn off soon - provides a lot of fun but a lot of mess too!

3 monkeys again!


Reading with Dad!

Caroline had a cold, ear infection and a new tooth coming in and for about 2 full weeks, pretty miserable.  Poor little girl!   But after she started to feel better, she wanted to stay up late because she was so happy to feel well again.  Dad read a few extra books to her that night!

Not sure what that face is about but pretty priceless!
