I know we haven't updated the blog since the end of July. It has become a very hard thing to accomplish since the boys have started being awake a lot longer and they are rolling all over the place now! In addition, we have 3 camera's we use and we lost our system for keeping our photo's organized....we are working on that.... (a cell phone, a point and shoot for the diaper bag and a fancy shmancy one to get those photographer quality ones since we haven't done a professional photo shoot with them since they were 1mo old)
This Fall is a time for us to reflect, celebrate and be grateful for all that has happened since we got married, 5 years ago! Each Fall is a time to celebrate numerous birthday's, anniversaries and the season but, for us, we especially hold dear Grandpa Jeff's birthday -my step dad, and Gramma Pat -Randy's mom. Gramma Witt shares her birthday with my sister and her husband who got married 5 years ago also. Then on September 15th, we share Mia and Max's birthday. They are our first niece/nephew born 1 month ahead of our wedding day. LOTS happened for Eryn's family 5 years ago. And now to look back on all that has happened for both families in the past 5yrs is really cool! We now have our own children, 2 nieces and 3 nephews and a baby on the way for Randy's sister. How quickly things can change! It has been wonderful to share all of this together.
In August and September, we had lots of company, we traveled to Milwaukee-to introduce the boys to Randy's extended family including Great-Gramma Eunice, and to a cabin in northern MN where Randy and I honeymooned. The Witt's (Randy's parents, sister and husband, and us) have been vacationing there each summer since that initial trip Randy and I shared. It proves to be full of relaxation, great fishing and beautiful scenery. It was great to be able to introduce our boys to the staff who have been making it such a memorable place for us ever since our honeymoon.
Back to the boys, they are doing great. They are perfectly healthy and happy little 7 month olds! (7mo this Thursday!) They are both so sweet and I want to just hold them forever. However, they are too on the go and cuddles are hard to come by at this house now. When they first wake up I get a small amount of snuggles so I just go with it whenever I can. It is true what "they" say in that time really does fly.
Griffin LOVES to jump and has jumped himself to sleep on more than one occasion. He has even gotten a blister on his one big toe from jumping so much. They both like to jump in things called Johnny Jump-ups. Griffin also loves to jump in another thing called a Jumparoo.
Gavin LOVES to roll around the living room and sample the flavors of the room. We have found him in some very interesting places. Under the coffee table, at the top of the stairs- YIKES!!, back by our recliner...you get the point. He is such a rolly little fella. It is as if he forgets anyone else is in the room and chatters away as he is rolling around exploring.
EVERYTHING goes into their mouths right now. Sometimes they are teething, otherwise it is just another fun stage of learning. Both boys have become super smiley and get so excited to see Daddy when he gets home from work! We love seeing their expressions as they see us and discover new things. It is priceless.
They are both still wearing their craniocaps but, Griffin should be out of his within a week we think and Gavin will have a bit longer as he has outgrown his cap and needs a new one to finish his adjustment. We are just waiting for that to be made and then he may have another month. I can't wait to kiss their soft little heads again. I have kissed plastic too many times to count....
Following this, I will start to post pictures as I am able. We are officially Mommy and Daddy paparazzi.... They are just too cute. How can we not want to frame each moment with them?\
We hope you enjoy!
