Our little family: Rest of September

Every Thursday at the Greenwood Library is "Read to the Dogs" night, so we tried it out one rainy evening. Evan picked this sweet dog to read to, who never moved a muscle the entire time.

Ryan decided he wanted to read to these "cute" little guys... :o)

We finally acquired a double stroller from a fellow teacher in Josh's school, and took it for a test run.

Ethan was starting to stand a lot on his own near the end of September, but still not taking steps on his own yet.

Since school started, Evan does not get to hang out at Mom-Mom and Dad-Dad's house and collect sticks, so he really makes the most of his time when mommy had to work late.

All summer, the boys begged for sleep overs in Evan's room. Even on nights when Ryan would fall asleep in his own room, we would go upstairs the next morning to find him in Evan's bed anyway. So... they now share a room, and they love it! I was worried they would be silly and take forever to get to sleep each night, but they have been very responsible, chat for a few minutes, and then it's sweet dreams.

Woodbridge opened their new high school this year, which is now adjacent to their sports complex, and they had their first annual Woodbridge Festival. Every sports team had a home game, and we were able to catch a portion of the girls' volleyball game and the boys' soccer game. There was also a parking lot area full of games, music, and food. Ryan took a turn at the dunk tank.

Evan gunned a few in there, too!
