Back to Delaware! Lots of New Experiences

Got to see our best friends Michelle, Chris, and their little boy Ben today.

Great to see you guys!

First encounter with a Christmas tree this year...didn't want to touch it.

New high chairs...had to get them since they were climbing out of their

seats that attach to the table. One day we found Avery sitting in the middle

of our table playing with the napkin holder! Yikes!

First spaghetti dinner - yum! (Avery)

Mmmmm! My favorite! (Rory)

Now they drink breastmilk from a bottle...after a whole year of rejecting a bottle!

I'm slowing adding cow's milk to the bottle and hopefully will have them weaned by Thanksgiving.

Stinkers!

Halloween 2010

Avery stole the trick-or-treat basket and is

trying to eat a tootie roll with the wrapper still on. Too funny!

Rory likes Snickers

The basket and their innocent faces...

What? Are we doing something wrong here?

Rory the Lion!

Avery the Bear and Rory

Avery - not too happy because he was starting to get sick :(

Two Cute! I hope these costumes fit next year

and hopefully we can hit more than 4 houses ;)

Visit to Grandma and Grandpa Lenz's House

Josiah showing Rory some new tricks!

We built a play pen at Grandma and Grandpa's house out of couches and this wooden bench. It looks like they were put in jail and I'm sure it felt like that a few times to them!

My handsome boys ;)

Saw the doctor on Nov. 10 for their 1 year check-up.

Avery weighs 22 lbs 15 oz and Rory weighs 22 lbs 14 oz.

They are both 27 1/2" tall and are in the 30th percentile for height and weight.

They've been sick with a cold virus, but otherwise they have been super healthy. No ear infections or anything yet...knock on wood! Developmentally they are on track too.

We are very blessed to have these two healthy little angels.

1st Birthday!

Cousins!!! Jackson, Rory, Reese, Avery, Peyton, and Josiah!

Thanks for the Boys' birthday presents

and for visiting us while we were in Green Bay!

It was lots of fun :)

Wow the first year flew by!

This video below is from June when the Lenz family were all at Wisconsin Dells for the week. Josiah likes to make the boys laugh and it was SO CUTE to watch them both laugh together at Josiah - check it out :)

We will be traveling to Green Bay on Oct. 22 and celebrating the boys' first birthday on Saturday the 23rd at Grandma and Grandpa's house. Come celebrate with us if you're in the area. Clint will be heading off to Minneapolis for a performance of a piece by the Minnesota Orchestra on Friday, Oct. 29 - come hear his piece if you can!

September!

Michelle & Chris came to visit with their new baby Benjamin!

So happy to see them and so happy we're less than 2 hours away now :)

The three musketeers!

They came to help celebrate Clint's last birthday in his twenties. haha

Avery and Rory love to play together in their new house.

They cruise along this couch really fast. Avery is lounging watching mickey.

First trip to the Columbus zoo which is only 20 minutes away.

Rory is a little hesitant...

Mimi and Pops came to visit over Labor Day! This is the only picture I have of them on the computer...the rest are on Clint' s phone...I'll get more up here I promise!
