September 27

Okay, I'm getting really bad at this. I've been a bit busy, I guess. Anyway, we found out that we're having a third boy! Everything is going really well with the pregnancy; I feel great and the baby, Nicklas, is growing and active. Brendan really enjoys feeling Nicklas kick and wiggle, Luke isn't so thrilled by it. Of course, Nicklas does seem to have a habit of kicking Luke while he snuggles with me...
I started Preschool with Brendan at the beginning of the month. He's such a bright little boy and I love watching him learn. He already knows his numbers from 1-10 and can actually count objects up to about 6 most of the time. He knows most of his colors and shapes and is getting much better at coloring. He knows most of the Lord's Prayer and a good portion of the Apostle's Creed.
Luke is taking more and more, although he rarely does it in front of anyone but us. He can do several signs as well.
Both boys are obsessed with motorcycles. Thanks, Dad. Lately, the keyboard bench has been being turned upside down and used as a motorcycle. Before that, it was the box that my photo printer came in.
My friend Becky and I took our children to the zoo earlier this month. Brendan loved the alligator and the jaguar; Luke wanted to join the kangaroo herd. Last week, she and I took the children to the fall festival at Salomon Farm. Luke was delighted by all of the tractors; Brendan enjoyed the petting zoo and the pumpkins.
