Museum

We went to the museum today with Drew and Matt's best friends, Laura and Amanda. They had a great time. It was a little hassle taking the "school bus" stroller, but all in all everyone did well. We went and heard a lecture on honey bees, that was pretty cool. We just thought they'd have real bees, and they didn't. It was very educational nontheless. Counted it as school, since we started 2nd grade Monday. I decided to start Drew on a modified year round homeschool schedule. He was losing too much information during his break. This way, we can have a 3 week vacation in September, a 5 week vacation at Christmas, and a 3 week vacation at spring break time. So far, he loves it! I'm so proud of my boys. Matt is doing a 3 yr old preschool program with me since we can't afford for him to go back to real preschool. So far he loves it too! They are such good kids.

2 Month Check Up

Here's all the stats for the girls:

Meredith: 11 lbs 1.5 oz (75%), 23 1/4 in. long (90%) and head circumference 15 1/4 cm (50%).

Bethany: 11 lbs 5.5 oz (75%), 23 1/2 in. long (90%) and head circumference 15 1/2 cm (50%).


The Doctor was very pleased with the way they are growing. He said that some of the stuff they are doing (ie. holding head up, pushing up on their elbows, rolling over, etc.) was 3-4 month old development. He said they are definitely ahead of a lot of babies at this age, especially considering they were a month early.

It was SO sad to see them get their shots. These are my 3rd and 4th kiddos and it doesn't ever get any easier to see them have to get a shot. It broke my heart. My mom went with us so that she could help console the little ones. It broke her heart too, in fact she was crying right with them. I didn't cry, but it sure did well up in me.

Right now, they are sleeping, tired from the tylenol. I'm sure they'll have a sleepy day, but they are healthy and doing good. We go back in 2 months for the 4 months visit and then they can start solid foods. YAY!

Boys are doing well, they went to storytime this morning. They LOVE storytime w/ Ms. Angie. They are my shining stars. I just am so blessed to have 4 GREAT children. I'll update again later, but for now...tootles!

Drew 7 (in 2 weeks), Matt 3 1/2, Bethany (l) & Meredith (r) 2 months.
