Carlisle Turns 3!!!

 Wow.  I can't believe it, but Carlisle turned 3 on Friday.  He had a good, low key birthday.  Carlisle fractured his tibia 2 weekends ago and has been in a bent non-walking cast.  The last couple of weeks have been hard since he can't walk, but Carlisle has been a real trooper.  Due to his leg injury, we had to move his 3rd birthday party to the middle of August since his party is to take place at the Little Gym.  We celebrated his birthday with dinner at Casa Linda (his favorite restaurant) and a cupcake afterwards.  He opened his gifts as well- it was all Toy Story related.  Carlisle is absolutely obsessed with buzz lightyear.  He loves the Toy Story movies and all of his buzz light year action figures.  Carlisle is a great kid.  He loves to read books, swing on his swing set, play with his toys, play on our ipad, and play with Raleigh.  He has a very active imagination- and loves to reenact the Toy Story movies scenes with his action figures.  Here are some pictures from his birthday:

Excited about his cupcake! He blew out the candles before we finished singing and before I could take a picture! 

Madeline's 4 Months!

 Madeline turned 4 months old on Thursday.  She is growing and changing each day.  She is such a happy baby, and loves to just sit, take it all in and smile.  She is still a great sleeper- usually going to be around 7:30 or 8 and waking up between 7 and 7:30.  We go to her check up on Thursday, and I can't wait to see how much she has grown.  Here are her pictures:

Latest Happenings

We've had a busy couple of weeks:  we went to the beach for a couple of days, I started back to work, and Madeline started school.  The beach was great- great weather and lots of fun.  Henry and his mom Alle came for a day and a half and the boys had a blast.  After that, Vance and Madeline came.  Carlisle especially loved the pool.  Madeline loved listening to her brother have lots of fun in the pool.  Madeline is doing great.  She is very laid back and rarely cries.  She has been sleeping through the night- which we really appreciate.  She is doing well at school, although does not nap very well.  She got sick this week, but after an antibiotic, she seems to be back to normal.  She weighed 10lbs 14 oz. at the doctor's office this morning. Here are some pictures of Carlisle and Henry at the beach:  (and i posted additional pictures in separate posts- I've been having trouble with blogger site).
