The Lindsay Clan

Second Anniversary!

I almost missed it!  It's been two years since I started our blog.  I find it hard to believe how quickly time has flown since then and then!  And though much has changed, life is still very, very good.

Here are our new stats:

Lindsay Clan Update-

• Gabe- Age 8.  Loves Kinects, cooking shows, and French Silk Pie.
• Calvin- Age 3.  Loves Woody & Buzz, DVD's (he sleeps with them for heaven's sake!), and german pancakes.
• Josh- Age 3.  Loves Little Einsteins, bouncing, and chicken nuggets.
• Brandon- Age 5 months.  Loves mom's hair, laughing, and dinner time.
• Michele- Age 30 and some. Loves girl's night out and 7 straight hours of sleep. Nuts about her 5 men!
• Pat- Fast approaching 40. Loves watching his shiny, new TV in the basement, 5 Guys burgers, and his wife.  He absolutely adores his wife! 

Can't wait to see what adventures the next year brings!

Sonic is Six! (months old)

Well- he will be next week.  Can you believe it?  I cannot.  The past 6 months have just flown by and I look back with not a little bit of wonder at it all. 

He is an incredible baby- sweet and content; giggly and snuggly.  I have to admit, we had a rough patch there for about 2 months with the no sleeping thing, but he seems to have figured that out.  He eats like a champ.  Rice cereal and applesauce is the meal of choice though he just tried carrots today and they were a hit!

Though I sometimes feel I can't catch my breath and my house hasn't been properly scrubbed since my mom came to help 4 months ago, having number four has been absolutely wonderful.  Crazy.  Exhausting.  But wonderful.

Yay for Gabe!

 

Reflections honorable mention winner in the Literature catoagory for his poem, "Beauty is Nature".  He got a nice certificate, a blue ribbon, and most import-- a doughnut.

  

Happy Halloween!

Halloween was SO MUCH FUN this year! 

This was the first year that the twins really got the whole dressing up thing and boy did they do it with gusto!  They wanted to be Buzz Lightyears so I found a great website and order their costumes early.  They came the end of September and since I figured it was a waste of money (not to mention just not as much fun), I let them wear them whenever they wanted.  I found a companion Woody costume for Brandon and the 3 of them together was just too cute.

Gabe was a deadly Ninja for the first 30 days of October and on the 31st day he switched to Obi-won (both fine choices).  He was so ready for the candy haul.  After the trunk and treat, he hit the neighborhood with a couple of buddies and didn't come home until he had 20 pounds in his bag.

Oh! And I forgot to mention the pumpkins!  We started out with 4 but they seemed to multiply while we were at work.  I think we ended up with 10 or 11, much to Gabe's delight.  We spent one very late night carving them all.  Our front steps were a little hard to navigate with all those jack-o-lanterns piled up.  All in all, it was a very successful holiday, one that Josh and Cal would prefer to repeat every weekend.
