10 months +

The boys were 10 months on Monday...WOW.

It's hard to believe it's now less than 2 months until their first birthday!!

We all went to the doctor last week. Just routine check ups for us...

Gavin is still struggling with his weight according to the doctor, but since May he has gained 2.6 lbs putting him at 16lbs 7oz. Riley gained 2.8 lbs putting him at 18lbs 7oz. I look at it as they both gained about the same and Gavin is just going to be a slim kid.

I think most kids double their weight in the first year...Gavin has quadrupled his weight!!!

They are now beginning to really feed themselves. Gavin prefers to feed himself and will really only co-operate if we are feeding him yogurt.

The boys enjoying some cuddle time Sunday morning...(they only lasted about 5 minutes)




Gavin will now hold his bottle like Riley does and sometimes it makes life SO much easier!



The boys enjoying dinner on Monday night, sitting at the table with us.



The newest news is that my sister has a big heart. She decided to buy us a new washer and dryer!! I'm still a little speechless. It seems if you are a great support system and just love your sister, you get rewarded! I'm told it's my Christmas present for the next 5 years! Our washer and dryer came with the house and probably were probably close to 25 years old. I really wanted a new set, but just couldn't afford it...so we received these



Kim and John dropped them off on Monday and I finally got around to doing some laundry yesterday. When I got to the drying part it seems the dryer doesn't work. Now these machines are High Efficiency models.....I guess the HE part of the dryer is that it doesn't use any electricity :)

Glenn and I figured it out after two loads of washing that it didn't work...so my dining room looks like this....




Kim was pretty upset and I was disappointed, but a service guy is coming sometime this week I hope and we will back in business by the weekend.

Speaking of Kim....next week is the start of her treatment and this weekend she and John are headed out to Harrison for fishing (John) and spa treatments (Kim). Sandcastle building is happening this week, so if it isn't raining on Saturday the boys and I will head out and check it out. Hopefully it's nice and you will see some pictures next week.

Have a great week!
