Future Notre Dame Grad

Well, our little Nicker had to get glasses!! He looks very cute in them- but it's been a little struggle to convince a 3yr old to wear them. He was kind of doing that cross eyed thing and so I got him in to see an eye doctor and sure enough we needed glasses! They say it's genetic somewhere in the family- but obviously not from his mom or dad!! Anyway, it could be worse- we will all adjust and it will justify my kid is a genius after all!!!!

Emily's 2 month

Today we had Emily's 2 month check-up. She is a healthy 11 lbs 8 oz which is in the 75th percentile. Nick was never in the 75th percentile!! She is 22 3/4 inches long which is in the 70th percentile. Her head is small but is on the charts. Nick's head was the only thing in the 50th-75th percentile- maybe that is where all his weight went!! Anyway, she got the green light and is perfect!! She got her 3 shots while Nicker got his flu shot. They were both troopers and only cried for a little bit!

Emily's Baptism

This weekend we traveled back to Ruthven for Emily's baptism. My uncle Fr. Tom did the honors, which was very nice. What made this even more special was that my mother in-law Karen took the time to make Emily's baptismal gown, which was made out of mom's wedding dress. It turned out beautifully and is something to cherish forever, just like mom. Emily was a trooper and didn't shed a tear- unlike her cousin AJ who cried the entire time during his! Eric's family made the trip which was very thoughtful of them. Beth and Mike were not able to make it because Mike is trying to thin out the deer population. All in all it was a very nice ceremony despite the cold tempatures!

Trip to the Zoo

Today was a gorgeous day at 76 degrees and we couldn't pass up doing something outside, so we went to the zoo. We went with Nick's friend Cora. They had a fun time. However, the highlight wasn't the animals- it was the ball and water in the picture!! Maybe it was more refreshing than anything or a contest to see who could get the wettest!!

Halloween

This year for Halloween Nick dressed up as his favorite character- Curious George. He is quite the little monkey himself and had a fun time going trick or treating. He is so shy though he wouldn't say "trick or treat" but thought it was fun to get candy! Emily decided to just be the little pumpkin that she is and chill out with mom while Eric and Nick ventured out. All in all it was a good night!
