Cat in the Hat and the Circus

Last week I took Jack and Patrick to see the Cat in the Hat at storytime. There were tons of parents/kids so you couldn't really hear the story but the kids were able to get their picture with the Cat in the Hat. I think Jack liked it....



We missed soccer this week because Jack and Patrick seemed to have another cold and runny noses. We bought tickets to the circus for Sunday and we didn't want them to get any sicker so we stayed in Saturday to make sure they were well enough to go. The circus was fun! Jack sat in complete amazement for the first hour. Patrick fell asleep - as shown in this picture! I don't know how he fell asleep because we sat right under the speakers and it was LOUD!


Patrick sleeping during the Circus.


Jack enjoying some french fries at the Circus.

I spent all afternoon Saturday pureeing vegetables. I bought a new cookbook to "sneak" in veggies in foods so Jack will eat it. It's not that he doesn't eat vegetables, he does. He actually seems to like all the green vegetables. But it depends on his mood. So if I can sneak them in other ways it's even better! Plus Patrick can eat the pureed food now too. We'll see how long I keep it up though :)

It was an even more interesting weekend since we didn't have any hot water all weekend! It's now fixed, thankfully. The boys will be getting a nice warm bath tonight :)


Just playing around.


An update on Patrick - his Hematologist called and he does have Von Willebrandts. So the next step is to schedule an appointment for him to test to see that the DDAVP will work for his surgery. I'm hoping he will be easier than Jack since he's younger and not fight it so much. I will keep you updated.

I posted some videos on YouTube :

Update on Patrick

Tuesday Patrick had his appointment with the Hematologist to be tested for Von Willebrandts. He had blood drawn and we'll get the results in 1-2 weeks. He did really well, considering. I am really hoping he doesn't have it, but of course it's a 50/50 chance.

He continues to be very active and I have a feeling he will be crawling before the weekend is over! He pushes way back on his knees and feet and just last night pushed himself into a sitting position! I am working on getting some video to post, so keep checking back for that. Jack was crawling at 7 months so Patrick will be right there as he's 6 1/2 months.

I finally have a double jogging stroller and with the warm weather have been going out for walks/jogs. It is so nice to get out again and they both seem to enjoy being outside. Too bad the weather isn't going to stay warm. That's all the updates for now. I'll post some photos as soon as I get them downloaded.

New pictures of the boys

Yesterday we took the boys to get their pictures - Jack's 2 years and Patrick's 6 months. They did surprisingly well and they came out great! I will be mailing some out this week.
Not much else new. Jack is doing well with soccer. Patrick is rocking and rolling and ready to crawl any day.
It is finally going to be warm this week so we can get out for some walks in the "new" double jogger I bought.
