The day of labor

Labor Day weekend!!! I am so thankful to have this extra day off this weekend. Daniel officiated a wedding this weekend and had a worship burn so that combination kind of put a damper on our family day. But we made up for it today!! We packed in as much special Labor Day fun into today as we could handle. 
First we took out the old power wheel and took it for a spin around the neighborhood. We ended at our Labor Day parade. The boys loved the parade and I actually think it was just as fun as the Fourth of July parade. We walked away from the parade with two BUCKETS of candy. That's right 2 sand pails full. At the beginning of the parade we instituted the "you can only eat what you can open yourself" rule and this slowed the candy eating down during the parade. Elijah only managed to eat 5 or 6 suckers. :) 

After family nap time, we went to the Urbana pool with some friends. This was our first trip to this pool and we really liked it. I am so thankful that the boys have gotten so familiar swimming and being in the water.

Growing like a bean

Another brilliant baby idea! :) I thought this would come in handy to measure our little bean. He seems to grow so quickly, this can keep us up to date. It's a baby measuring sheet, just lay babies head in the center and it tells you how long they are. Parents can measure baby from any direction, find more photos and info here.

Childbirth, Childbirth everywhere

We attended our first childbirth class last night, an event that neither Daniel or I was looking that forward to. I was hesitant for a few reasons, one being that the minute I put this on the calender THREE MONTHS AGO, other events happening on these specific Mondays have been coming up. Secondly, is that my husband has a condition that happens during every parenting type of class that we go to, lets call it "giggle-at-inappropriate-times disease." It's not that he is not interested in the topics, but for some reason the other parents in the classes that we go to are usually really reserved and quite. So we will sit in silence waiting for the class to begin, sit silently through the class and then leave. Daniel's response to this is to make jokes and laugh throughout the class. Childbirth class has been no exception to this trend, and I joined him in the giggling this time. Although it hurt so bad to try to hold in my laughter, I began to have tears. All of th...

Alternative Diaper Bag

We have been having a struggle finding the ultimate diaper bag. I have purchased two so far and looked a hundred more. We are looking for one that can hold all of our stuff, fit into the basket of our stroller, and looks trendy so Daniel can carry it and not be totally awkward. We recently switched to an old backpack that I had. It seems to be working, but my search continues. Today I found this.... it's a jacket for dads that functions as a diaper bag. All the storage, coolness and functionality we are looking for and its hands free! And as a bonus, it basically ensures that Daniel would be the one changing diapers. It has a changing pad in the back pocket and an easy access wipes pocket. It also has a side pocket for bottle. GENIUS!!! www.dadgear.com
