More Halloween Fun

We visited EdVenture last night for their HalloWonka preview party.
Everyone had lots of fun, but it was a little too crowed for my taste. So,
I don't think we'll return next year. We'll save that trip for when we
can leave strollers at home. The kiddos enjoyed their balloons.
Sydney got a flower and Ethan got an interesting dinosaur on a leash.

Adelyn has a new favorite toy. She likes to gab on the phone.
Apparently this was a very funny conversation.

Boo at the Zoo

The kiddos had a great time at Boo at the Zoo last night.

Sydney and Ethan got lots of candy, and Grant and Adelyn slept:-)

Yes, we are still alive

Hello to all. We are all still alive and doing well despite my lack of updates to this site. I am actually wondering if there is anyone out there who is still checking it. If you are, thanks for hanging in there with us. We actually just increased our Internet speed after learning that our connection was barely faster than dial-up. No wonder it only took me about five minutes on the computer to get completely fed up.

All is well in our crazy world. We have stayed incredibly busy lately, but we are having lots of crazy fun and that's what really matters. This month, we have travelled to Baltimore for a follow-up appointment that went well. We had our first attempt at a picture of the four kiddos which didn't go so well, but it did make a memory that I won't soon forget:-) My sister got married in Charlotte and Sydney, Ethan and I were all in the wedding. And, we spent a weekend in Atlanta visiting friends, watching the Thunderbirds take to the skies and touring a dairy farm.

........................

We are beginning to wean Sydney's seizure medication and so far she is doing very well. She hasn't had any seizures and we are seeing a little improvement in her behavior. Sydney is much more consistent with her sounds and few words and that has been extremely exciting to witness.

Ethan is doing well and is sporting this lovely fake smile in every recent picture I have taken. He is in 3-K now and really enjoys it. He has a new found fear of fires since they had a fire drill a couple weeks ago, but we are working to help him realize that all will be okay, and even though everyone does need to practice escaping the building during fire drills, there isn't a danger of the building spontaneously combusting. Also, we have had to reassure him that the firefighters will always have enough water and his teacher will always know where he is so she can tell him where to go.

Adelyn and Grant are doing great! They are 3 months old now, and they get a little more personality each and every day. I took them to the doctor Friday to get their RSV shots and they both weighed the same thing-crazy:-) They were both 6lbs 5oz at birth, 5 lbs 8 oz when we came home from the hospital, 13 lbs at their 2 month appointment and 14 lbs 8 oz on Friday.

We are looking forward to keeping our busy streak alive by going to Boo at the Zoo and getting all decked out for Halloween this weekend. Well, I better go, Ethan is crying because he was put into time out, which made Sydney start screaming and the babies need to be fed. Life with four kids is a blast!
