Happy 21st, Kurt!

Hope you had a great 21st birthday, Kurt!

Diet Update

I haven't had a diet update in a while, so I figure I better post something before it looks like we have given up. We were having some trouble with our old digital scale. We couldn't get a consistent reading. I went out and bought an old fashioned one, so I guess we'll go with that number. But now I am just not sure what our true starting weight was. This is what we are estimating:

Karen - 14 pounds
Dan - 8 pounds

I am happy to report that I have packed away my maternity wardrobe and am slowly starting to fit into some normal clothes. Dan and I are also doing our very best to exercise somewhere around 3 times a week. Dan continues to use the eliptical and I have started running. Two kids has kept us pretty busy, so we need to work out a routine and also do a better job of making healthy dinners. Only about 3 weeks until I am back at work, so maybe that will bring some structure to our lives!

Matching Jammies

Thanks to the Kuttner family for the matching jammies!

Picking Out Some Pumpkins

This morning we took a drive to the heart of Aurora (aka the ghetto) and picked out some pumpkins. Finn was mostly interested in pulling the wagon and only HIS pumpkin was allowed in HIS wagon. He did help pick out a pumpkin for Patrick and Payton...their pumpkins just had to ride in a different wagon.

Big Boy

Finn went pee pee in the potty tonight! Turns out he prefers the standing up method. Might get a little messy, but I'll take it! We are so proud of him. He is pretty darn proud of himself too.

Proud Big Brother

Patrick will be four weeks old tomorrow. Everyday for the past 27 days, I have asked Finn if he wanted to hold his baby brother, and everyday up until yesterday he has said no. So you can imagine my surprise and how quickly I jumped up to grab my camera when he actually said "yes." And then today, he even asked if he could hold him. I think these boys are going to be best buds. Well...at least for now.

New PJ's

Finn would like to thank his Mimi and Papa for the awesome new Sponge Bob jammies. There's nothing quite like a new pair of PJ's.
