Lots of Boys

This past weekend was full of fun with the Clemmer Family.  I have known Jen since 7th grade, I sat behind her in Reading Class.  9 years ago I stood beside her as she married Brad, and now she has 3 little ones that are full of energy and smiles!  Brad and Chris watched all 5 of the kids while Jen and I got away for the day.  All the kids played great together, the only one that was irritated was Bayley.  Since the Clemmer boys have left, both Bayley and Cali have been sleeping the day away.  We are hoping to see the Clemmers again in December, and then all the "big" boys are going to a soccer game this summer together in Philly.  What a great weekend!

Ryan and Drew meet for the first time.

Is it Baby Ryan or Baby Drew - the older boys couldn't figure it out!

Time for breakfast.

Grandpa Fox made that car for Chris when he was Luke's age.  

All the kidos - my favorite boys!

Busy day - Brad and Chris fit all 5 kids in one car.

Halloween 2010

We had a great time Trick-or-Treating!  It didn't take Luke long to understand when he held out his pumpkin people would fill it with candy.  This year we went to campus to Trick-or-Treat in the residence halls and went to Blue Bird Gap Farm in Hampton, VA, where Luke and Drew went on their first hay ride.  

Below are plenty of pictures from Halloween 2010!

It's Almost November

October has flown by!

Drew is almost 3 months old - we are still working on sleeping through the night. Well, really, we aren't even close to sleeping through the night. However, as I post this Drew is sleeping in his pack and play for the first time ever!

Luke is talking - he says "bubbles", "car", "truck", "hi" and his version of "please" and "thank you".

I started back to work the second week of October - Drew seems to be doing well in daycare, however we are still trying to get our morning routine down.

We are getting ready for a weekend of Halloween activities! Luke is a Dragon and Drew will be a little giraffe.

Below is a picture that I took of the kids at the yard sale we had, complete with Drew's friend Henry. Drew and Henry were born exactly one week a part. Henry (and his parents) are moving to New Jersey soon. Henry and Drew will have to learn how to Skype!

The yard sale was a success. We got a good portion of our storage garage and garage cleaned out, plus made a little money too.

Above is Drew - about 8 weeks old, sporting his Seahawks bib that Uncle Brian bought for Luke. As you can tell by the picture, it has been well loved.

Nothing to exciting for the month of October - but we are really looking forward to the holidays!

This month has flown by! Drew is almost two months old already, and Luke has done a good job of welcoming his new brother (although, it did take a little time).

September was also the start of football season in our house - we cut out cable back in February, right after the Super Bowl. We went 7 months with no TV, only DVDs - and more times then not - it was Finding Nemo. Chris' family surprised us with rabbit ears for the the TV - now we can watch Jeopardy, Sesame Street, and the Steelers.

Here are a few pictures of Chris, Luke, and Drew ready for the first Steelers game. Luke has learned where his nose, eyes, ears, toes, and belly are - above is Luke pointing to Drew's nose.

This month we have also had lots of visitors! G'ma Fox came for a week and we went to the park for the afternoon. Below are a few pictures taken at the park - Luke really enjoyed his time - so much that he didn't want to leave!

Next month we are excited for Nana Forsman to come visit - and Halloween!

Almost 2 Years in the Making

Hi Everyone! Well, I have been thinking about starting this blog for almost two years now...finally, I am able to start it. Let's hope that I can keep up with it! I am hoping to keep updating weekly with pictures of our growing family - including our fur babies (Bay and Cali).

On August 9, 2010 we welcomed our newest addition - Andrew David Fox! Here is a picture of Luke meeting his little brother in the hospital.

At only a few weeks old, Drew had his first outing to the Virginia Aquarium - it went well, but I don't plan on going back until after the beach season is over. I had never thought that we were going to have to stand in lines to see fish.

Here's hoping that I will be able to keep the blog updated with our happenings in Virginia!
