Big Goings On

 We have had some exciting things happening the past few weeks.  Miranda started climbing out of her crib consistently, so she has been moved to her "big girl" bed.  I have to admit, I am quite surprised she lasted this long in her crib as she LOVES to climb.  I am also very sad she is no longer in her crib, as nap and bed times are now even more difficult.  We'll just keep our fingers crossed that this phase quickly passes.

We have also done some big and little home improvement projects around the house.  Miranda got to help Matt repair the kitchen and she loved it! 

And not to be left out, Matilda has gotten her first loose tooth (well, actually teeth).  At her dentist appointment, he pointed out that Matilda's permanent teeth had already broken through behind her baby teeth.  Since then, Matilda has been wiggling and wiggling her teeth, along with complaining that she can't bite into foods, such as sandwiches, due to the loose teeth.  Heaven help us when they actually fall out!

It's Game Day....

Go Blue!

The Trip

 

 Over Labor Day weekend we made our annual trip up to Northern Michigan to visit family.  Matt and I were quite impressed with how well the girls behaved on the rides there and back.  The trip was filled of fun times, such as visiting with family, manual labor (Matt and Tilda helped trim some dead trees), a visit to the farmers' market, rides on a "Mule," face painting and a glitter tattoo.  While the visit was nice, I have to admit, the ride home was my favorite part as we stopped at the Christmas store and my alma matter.  :)
