Valentine's Day

Just want to share with everyone a picture of Kurtis' valentines day box for school.

Nothing about my son is "normal":

Yes - that is a dinosaur valentine's day box. The teacher loved it because it was so different. Jeff helped Kurtis make it with paper mache. When it was dry Kurtis and I painted it. I made the sign.

We had a nice day. We did nothing really special but Jeff did get me a necklace from Things Remembered that we can have the boys birthdays engraved on.

Hope everyone had a great Valentine's Day.

As promised - New Bed Pictures!

Here is what the new arrangement looks like - Kurtis is on top bunk (loft) with Joey underneath in the captian's bed.

Joey is trying out the new bed - pretending to be asleep.

Joey finally asleep in his new bed!

Joey did not fall asleep right away. Was probably about 9:30 before he fell asleep but he did not get out of the bed and play in the room. He just laid there - trying to fall asleep like a big boy. We also did not but up a rail - well because the one we had we could not find the strap for it. Joey did not roll out of the bed. He did wake up several times last night but he was able to get himself back to sleep without getting up.

Wow - they grow up so fast. Next hurdle - potty training (maybe this summer???)

New Sleeping Arrangements!

Yesterday we picked up a loft for the boys room. This loft was made by a guy for his son but he did not like sleeping in it.

Today we found a new mattress for Joey.

So...Joey is now sleeping in Kurtis' captain's bed while Kurtis has a new loft above to sleep in.

1st haircut last weekend - new big boy bed this weekend.

Guess babyhood is really behind us now!

Pictures soon.

The questions kids ask...

I just have to tell this story...


As I was putting Kurtis to bed last night he asked the following question:


"What are the two lima beans in my pee-pee?" Well, needless to say, I started laughing & had to get Jeff to tell him what Kurtis asked. We told him what they were and he seemed satisfied but I guess this is just the start of all the body questions we will have to answer over the next few years.


Just had to share...

First Haircut

This weekend we decided it was time to get Joey's hair cut. Several times while I have been out with him, people have asked if he was a boy or a girl, so I guess it is time. Joey's hair is actually a lot shorter than Kurtis' was when we took him for his first hair cut but oh well...

Here is a picture of Joey before:

I thought a nice side view would allow you to see what his hair looked like too:

During the hair cut - Joey did not cry once. His biggest problem was that he would not sit still. He also seemed less than impressed with the whole experience...

Here is the final outcome.

Joey is no longer my little baby - I almost started crying looking at him yesterday.

My Little Handsome Man.
