I wanted to come and update about Christmas and add pictures from the past month or so buti come with heavy heart tonight to say our friend Dante earned his wings today.  He is flying high above us in the sky free as a bird, cancer free for the 1st time in over a year.  It's sad to think this poor little two year old spend 1 year of his life healthy and the next year sick and in treatment.  It's said to think 1/2 of his life was spent ill.  So I say tonight Dante fly with the big dogs buddy you deserve to be free.

Becca comes running in and tells me Ryan is playing in the pee pee water, I thought he put his hands in the water once again.  Yes, I know pretty gross but I was not rushing right to him.  I was finishing what I needed to do then I heard the toilet flush then I hear splashing again, then flush then splash.  Well I get after i was done to see what he was up to.  Boy was in for a shock.  I though he may be pouring the water in the bath tub, oh no he was pouring the water all over the bath mat as well as the tiles.  Put it this way he was wet, the bath mat no longer had enough room for water and there was puddle around the toilet.  He was so proud of himself and his accomplishment.  I was on my way to take the too girls to the doctors for their cold so Chris got to tackle that mess, let's just say Daddy was not as proud of him as Ryan was.  He got in big trouble.  So I am walking out the door to Chris truly upset he has to clean this up and me laughing because for once he gets to deal with Ryan and his mischief.  

I will share more about Christmas when I have a few more minutes, off to get the perscription the girls need to take and I am going to bed after that.

climbing out of his crib.  This morning I was walking out of my bedroom and low and behold the boy was out of bed and heading down the steps to find his sissy's.  I was in total shock to see him right there that i had to process what was going on and almost did not believe it.  I honestly thought that one of the girls got him out but that is not the case, he did it himself.

So I put him down for nap and then went to put Becca down for her rest time by the time I was done with her he was out of his room.  I put him back and told him not to get out again.  I decided to watch and see how he was doing this.  He was using his pillow and stuff animals he has in there as his boost up and over so I put him back and took all that stuff out.  Let's just say that did not stop him in the least, he climbed right on out.  Finally I just put a door safety knob on his door so he could not get out and let him be for a bit.  he finally did say in his crib to nap but Chris and i will have to come up with another way to do this but I think the toddler bed is soon to be in our future. 

I just thought I would share the newest development in our house.  If I don't get on before Christmas I wish you all a Very Merry Christmas and a Happy New year.

As you can see we have been really busy with life here in our house.  It seems like November slipped into December with out me knowing it and now we are 1 week out from Christmas, where did the time go.  Let's see what's been going on in our house.  We traveled to Richmond for Thanksgiving.  We got to catch up with one of my old friends Heather and her family, it was so good to see them and see our kids together.  Between the two of us we have 7 kids, her 4 and our 3.  The kids played great even though they really don't know eachother.  We went to Chris's parents for the dinner and had a really nice time visiting and hanging out.  Friday after Thanksgiving we stayed put at the river cottage before we headed back to NC to begin the holiday decorations.

Now we are onto December, well my little girl finally losted that wiggely tooth on Dec. 6th.  She was eating a gum drop and it came out but she did not know it, she ended up eating it.  So we had to take a picture for the tooth fairy so she would know to come.  She was so darn excited.  Tooth number 2 is loose so we should see it out by the end of Christmas break.  We have Kaitlyn's Holiday Program on Friday, each 1st grade class picked a country to learned about the Christmas holiday or Holiday season, Kaitlyn's was Germany.  The parent will visit each class room to learn what the kids know. I am excited for it. 

Becca just finished her Christmas Program at school.  It's amazing how much 3 and 4 year olds can learn and retain.  They signed to a song and each class had a skit they performed.  It was so very cute.  Becca is out of school for 2 weeks as of today, she is very excited.

Ryan is Ryan, into everything he isn't suppose to be and up to no know.  Our latest is he fell off the bunk bed ladder while was sitting in the room with him.  You can't take your eyes off of him for a minute.  Just like when he burnt his little hand when I told him to leave the stove alone, I don't think he will be climbing up there anytime soon. 

Uncle Marty is down visiting right now and to say the least the girls did not want to go to school today.  They are excited to see them and have crawled all over him since the minute he got here.  Ryan is trying to help Uncle Marty do his work and get into all his stuff as we speak,  I believe my brother is learning what my life is with octopus boy. I hope to have new pictures uploaded soon of my brothers visit.

Until then Merry Christmas and Happy New year to all of you.

If you are think i was going to say I was pregnant you should be locking in a room with a snake, trust me we are done. I have my hands full with the 3 I have.  We are so excited  to finally say Kaitlyn has her 1st loose tooth. You read that right my 6 and 3/4th year old finally has a loose tooth.  The cool thing is this is the same tooth she got 6 years ago almost to the day, the only tooth she got until she was 11 1/2 months old.  She came home from Faith Development so excited to show me her wiggle tooth.  Kaitlyn is beside her self with glee to finally be among her 1st grade friends, of course all of them have lost some teeth, she is the only one in her class to still have all her baby teeth.  So we will count the days until our little girl takes one more step into being a big girl.  I don't think I am really ready for it but time can't stand still.

Thanks for being apart of our excitement.

We head out of town the 1st weekend in November for the Annual Oyster Festival in Urbana VA.  Chris has been doing this since he was a kid so it's a tradition to go.  We picked Kaitlyn up at 12:30 on that friday so her day was considered a full day at school.  As we where heading down Kaitlyn complained her tummy was hurting, if you know her she get's car sick very easily.  Well I forgot to give her the pill, so I jumped right on it.  After about 45 min when it did not make a difference I was worried about her.  We where just turning onto interstate 64 when she puked, i honestly thought that was the end of it.  Not to be the poor girl did not feel well. She did not vomitt again until we got to the festival.  We always go on Fridays because the crowds on Saturdays are crazy.  Anywho while the kids where in the kids tent doing arts and crafts, she went sheet white and said she needed to vomit again, off we ran through the tent where she puked in someone side yard.  At least it was not that bad since there was nothing in her tummy.  She said she was find and wanted to continue.  We made it to the play area and she managed to slide down the big inflatable slide but right after that she wanted to sit down. After a few minutes she got up and to no avail she vomitted again.  People where walking by seeing her folded over a trash can.  If you have ever been to the oyster festival it is a big drinking weekend for those without kids, so i could only imagine what people where thinking seeing my poor daughter laying over the trash can. I finally walked her back to the car and let Chris take the two others and get them some dinner. 

We did not get to do the stuff we usually get to do, nor the fun we normal get to have, but that's ok there's next year.  Once Chris returned we headed to the river house to see Nanny.  At this point I am freaked she has a tummy bug and I don't want her getting Nanny sick.  So she was sent to her room right away.  After a while of laying down she did come out for a visit and managed to keep down some sprite and crackers.  We thought all was well.  We got all the kids in bed and where just relaxing when, I hear Ryan cough, the cough i know that will lead somewhere else.  Low and behold he starts to cry I rush in to find that he has vomitted all of his head, on his pack and play sheet.  I sat him up so he could calm down when he proceeds to vomit all over his blanket, pj's and crib.  I got him out of the crib and into the bathroom was in the process of cleaning him up when Becca comes to tell us Kaitlyn is vomitting in her bed too.  Let's just say we where a bit stressed by this point and where wondering why we even came.  I finished cleaning Ryan up and putting a towel down in his pack-n-play so I could get him back to sleep, nope he wanted nothing to do with it. So I laid down with him and we both fell asleep in my bed.

When we first got there I got a bucket for Kaitlyn and left it on the bed with her just in case.  I thought my nice husband put it back on the bed so we did not have to endure changing sheets if she did vomitt. Nope he thought the floor was better.  Hello we have a 6 year old she does not understand the consept yet that you need to vomit into something not just anywhere.  Chris ahd to take all the vomit sheet out of the house and we barrowed his cousines washer the next day to get everything washed up. 

After that we had not more vomitting issues the whole weekend.  Kaitlyn was not totally herself and complained that she was hungery but when she ate it did not tast good.  I did not care as long as she drank and she did not vomitt anymore. In the back of my mind I wondered if she has strep throat but put it out of my mind since she really was not carring a high fever. 

The rest of the weekend was nice, the weather was not great most of Saturday, but by Saturday night things nice and dry.  We had out oyster roast and pot luck dinner.  The kids loved climbing on Pauls John Deere.  (see below for pictures) Ryan would not get off of it to save his life, when others got on aka his sisters he would get so mad.  At least he kept himself entertained while we where outside. Sunday they got to ride on Forest 4 wheeler and once again he screamed when his sisters took their turns. 

After returning home I noticed Kaitlyn was not doing well again.  I took her temp and she was up but not really that high. I decided to take her to the urgent care and she tested postive for strep.  I knew it was and could kick myself for not getting her tested before then. Oh, well we got her on antibotics so we where good to go.

Well that is what has been happening in my life.

I posted below about the little boy Dante and his relaspe, well the time has come for us to pray even harder.  The cancer has spread and there is only one treatment left as long as his breathing stays stable, if his breathing does not then they can not do anything.  I hope through major prayers we can help heal this little boy on earth, so please if you could please pray for this little boy that would be greatly apperciated.  On the side you will find a link to his website, you may have to register to get in but it's only to keep track of who comes on the sites.  Thank you,  Anne Marie

Well Halloween has come and gone, October as well, now Nov is upon us with Thanksgiving right around the corner.  Is it my imagination but does each year seem to be going by faster and faster?  I feel like we just did the Thanksgiving and Christmas thing. 

My mom came to visit for Halloween this year.  She has never been here for this holiday so it was fun for us to have her here to see the kids in costume.  I also think she enjoyed seeing all the kids in the neighborhood dressed up.  It was an awesome night for all of the, great weather, great candy and great friends to spend it with.  This year is the 1st year that Chris was able to take the kids out without a stroller or wagon.  Ryan walked the whole way around our streets and carried his own candy bag as well with no complaint.  As Chris put it the louder and crazier the decorations the more Ryan got into it.  I think he had a blast his 1st Halloween Trick or Treating.

After the treats where handed out we went to our really good friends house and had a bomb fire where we roasted s'mores, Black Cosmos and great company.  It was so nice to hang out and let the kids run off the sugar they put in before heading to bed.  Ryan was in bed at a good hour the girls on the other hand, it was very late.  The night was a success. 

Nana G had a wonderful time with the kids, she took up some of the homework duties with Kaitlyn, read to all of them and taught the girls to play Uno.  She got a kick out of Ryan's antics and his bundle of energy.  We had a great visit and it was sad to see her leave this morning.  I hope she had as much fun as we did while she was here.  Love you Mom and I so miss you when you are gone.

Mom did stick around long enough to go with me to get the kids flu shots done.  Kaitlyn went 1st since she was the oldest, then Becca who decided the pain was too much to take so she began crying. I felt so bad for her because she did so well up until the very end. Then Ryan was last, the boy did not make a peep at all, he looked at the women who gave him the shot and gave her a dirty look, like why did you just do that.  Poor kids leg is now sore and keeps saying boo boo, boo boo. 

Well that is our life in a nut shell.  Kaityn is off today and tomorrow for end of the quarter and vote.  Don't foreget to get out their and vote, each vote counts.  Then we are off for a few short days to our Annual Oyster Festival weekend.  Chris's grandmother and the kids Great Grandmother will be coming down for the weekend as well so they are very excited about that.  I hope for good mild weather so we dont' have to bundle up like bears while we are there. 

Well off to get some much needed chores done int he house. Till next time my friends.

I know it was another 2 weeks before I got here to update but I tried several times to update but for some reason my computer would not do it. 

Where to I start!  You will find pictures from our day at the Hillridge Farm Pumpkin Patch, the kids had a blast.  They went on pony rides, Ryans 1st, they had a train ride, went down the long slide, and finally went on a hay ride to pick their pumpkins.  There where even farm animals there that they got to see.  The goats love to climb things as well as play on a see-saw they had.  Ryan so wanted to go touch them but they don't let that their. 

After our day at the farm we headed home to put the little one down for a nap and for Chris to get ready for his birthday surprise.  I was taking him out to a meat lovers haven to say the least.  I made reservation at a place called Brasa, a Brizilian Steak House, for his 40th birthday.  Yes, Chris turned 40 on Oct. 13th.  Anyways I lined up a babysitter weeks in advanced and got our best friends Allison and Chris to go with us.  We had a fabulous time there, more food/meat you could ever imagine.  When we arrived home we found our neighbors had T-Peed our house, wrote over the hill and 40 all over our drive way and even had a spot light on our tree in the front yard.  Chris was shocked and surprised.  They made him have a few drinks from his over the hill shot glass they got him.  These neighbors had been outside all night decorating and drinking, I don't know which was more fun.  It was a nice night for all.

Monday on his true birthday the kids and I made a sign for him and taped it to the garage door so he saw it when he came home as well as placed balloons on the mail box.  I made a cake as well as cupcakes and made a 40 out of it.  We had is favorite dinner steak and bake pototoes.  I am in shock my husband is 40, 40.  Years ago when I thought of 40 I never really thought either of us would really be that age one day, but I guess we will.  I at least can say my husband beat me to the number.

Ryan has been up to his usual, actics, getting into everything.  Let's see he is our little climber and now can climb up on the counter tops, yes the counters.  I found him last friday standing on the counter playing with my magnets on the fridge, he thought he was so cool.  After disciplining him we went back upstairs.  To my dismay he was way to quiet again and asked Becca to check on him. She goes down stairs to find him once again on the counters.  In the time it took her to run back upstairs to tell me he is on the counters again playing in Daddy's sugar and me to get down stairs the boy had found the flower.  He was dupping it out and playing in it like it was sand.  He says to me "make mommy, make".  Yes, Ryan we make stuff with the flower son.  Before he even got to that stage he had taken a bite out of banana bread and had a few handfuls of Nana's Apple cake I made.  The kid won't eat what I give him on his plate but he will be more than happy to scavange for food on the counter tops.  A friend told me I should hide fruit and other food up there since he seems to only want to eat in places he is no suppose to.   I do have some pictures below for you to see our little boy.  This morning I got a nice surprise when I walked into his bedroom, he was completely naked and was in all his glory.  He discovered her has something down there and was having a great time playing with it.  Needless to say I let him stay in his bed a bit too long.  Thank goodness it was completely dry, but we will be limiting his time in his bed by himself to say the least. 

Well that is is from my house for now.

Can you all send some prayers to a buddy of Ryan's from our iVillage commmunity he could really use the support.  He was diagnosed in Dec. right before Christmas with neuroblastoma, he was in remission and now he has relapsed right at the end of his treatment protecal.  Here is a link so please follow his story and give him some prayers.

(you will have to register to get to his site but it's not a big deal.  It's worth the few extra minutes and it's for a really special little boy battling a terrible disease.)

Nothing is every dull in our home with three kids running around. If it's not one thing it's another, life is way busy.  Lets see it has been two weeks since my last update where do I begin. 

Kaitlyn had another spelling test and again did 10/10, so we are two for two for being perfect.  She took another one today since tomorrow is a teacher work day and there will be not school.  I will find out Monday what she has gotten.  She is gaining more and more confidence in her reading skills, which is good because it has been slow going.  The teacher has assured me once she get's it she will take off like she never had any problems.  It's not a not knowing how to do it it's more of a confidence thing that she can do it and she knows how to do it. Two weekends ago we got to bring home the class pet, a hampster, Superman was a hit in our house and on the street.  All the kids came to visit him and pet him.  He was such a sweet little thing and such a good temperment that i almost did not give him back but Chris was a no go in having another pet, two cats are plenty.  Kaitlyn also mastered some new skills for gymnastics which is great, since last years teacher was not so good so she has to make up ground this year.  She is enjoying her time in the gym and she comes out sweety so I know she is working hard.

Rebecca is doing well in school too, we finally mastered the "R", now we need to get her to do it the right way since she does it backwards.  <rs. Paula, Becca's teacher, is also teaching her sign language which she seems to be enjoying and doing well with it.  It's amazing at such a young age how much they learn and know.  This week they have been doing their Apple series, they have tasted apples, oixidiesed apples, painted with apples, counted apples, made apple printed shirts and finally made apple turnovers.  Mrs. Paula has so many great idea's and is really working with the kids to get them prepared for kindergarden.  Personally I think that Becca will know how to spell before she can even write all the letters since I quiz Kaitlyn on her spelling words in the car all the time.  She has even begun to spell them with Kaitlyn, so maybe something it wearing off on the girl.  The one thing I wish would change is her meladrama, that girl wears me out to say the least.  I have to such the windows when she throws a tantrum in her bedroom for fear the neighbors will call the police on me because it sounds like we are killing her.  We are not even in the room with her, we leave her their to work out her issues, once she is quiet then she can come out of time out.   Time has not changed her in the least.

Ryan is picking up where Becca has left off, he enjoy's screaming his bloody head off as well.  He learned from the best so why not try out her tatics as well, what he does not realize is we don't put up with it with her and we won't with him.   Ryan is a curious little boy, is always trying to get into something, but then he has his sweat moments and comes and kisses me.   We started MOPS last week and he enjoyed his 1st week in his new room, he loves to play with other kids.  When you look at him and then kids his own age you realize how small he is, they are just so much bigger than him but that does not discourage the boy for sticking up for himself if someone tries to take his toy.

If you can believe it Chris turns 40 on Monday, Oct 13th, can you believe it!  The kids and I are planning something special for him but he does not know about it, he will find out soon enough.  I remember when I was younger that I thought 40 was old and here we are embarking on the milestone, I am happy to say i have a few years left until that day.  Life is good, but hetic.  Talk to you soon.  Check out the new pictures below.  (the one with Ryan and his crazy outfit are about the socks he refuses to take off his feet.  I wrestle him each morning to get his cat socks off his feet.  They where his sisters but she does not want them anymore because of  a whole in them, so he claimed them.  I have to tell him he can have them at night night then he will give them up. Enjoy the few pictures below.)

This week seems to be even busier than last week, how is that possible?  I got to volunteer in Kaitlyn 's class this week for the 1st time and it was so much fun getting to see all the kids in her class.  I could not believe how quiet her class is when they are working, it was never as quiet in kindergarten.  They all get to sit where ever they want to do their work, laying on the floor with a pillow, in a bean bag chair or in their seat, they all seem to love it.  It is very relaxed atmosphere which I like and I think the kids like.  I really like her two teachers as well, they have a great personalities and i really think they fit really well with my child at least. I will be volunteering every monday so I am excited.

Becca had another great week at school.  She finally mastered the R in her name, she could do everything else but the R was holding her up.  Now we need to get her to right her name from left to right and in some type of line instead of all over the page.  Becca has made some comments aboout not wanting to go to school, but through further investigation I believe it's just being a little lazy.  We notice this about Becca when she does not want to do something it's because she is being lazy versus not being intrested.  I think this is hard work and she does not like working hard, she will surely have a ruid awakening next year in Kindergarten.  Anyways the teachers say she is perfectly fine the whole time she is there, she does her jobs and she participates, so I am not going to worry about it.  She even seems to have bondied with her friend Olivia which is good since those two are the only two from last years class in this class. 

Ryan, what can I say about Ryan, he has picked up where Becca has left off.  To say the least he wears me out. Let's see this week I have found him in under the bed chasing the cat and he wonders why she bites and scratches him.  His new found joy is to play in my silver ware drawer and if it entertains him then I will leave him alone, there is nothing in their to harm him.  Finally, I found him in my kitchen sink yesterday with the water on full blast.  I have a double sink one side is much larger than the other side, he was in the smaller shallower sink.  When he saw me he said "wash hands mommy".  I was like yes you may wash your hands but mommy and daddy must help you.  Needless to say he tried several more times during the day to do it but I caught him before he got to far.  I believe he really is part monkey the way he ca climb things.  Thank goodness he has not tried to get out of his crib again since the last time, we are so not ready for a big boy bed.

Chris and I are doing well, just doing yard work this weekend.  Well off to get my day started talk to you soon.

Hey Fellow Friends:

Another week had gone by, can you believe it.  The weather has finally turned cooler here, which is a welcome relief.  This week was the 1st week for homework for Kaitlyn, she is not liking this too much but we hope she will adjust to it.  She has her 1st spelling test tomorrow, where has teh time gone with her being home with me, now we are in full swing of school.  Becca has had a good week at school herself.

Ryan what can I say about my little boy.  I often wonder if God sent me Rebecca to prepare me for Ryan. This boy is so active and into everything, climbs on everything and just knows what to do to get into trouble.  To say the least it's frustrating.  What is his latest, yesterday he learned to open my draw to my night stand and found gum.  Yes, you guess it he proceeds to unwrap the come and being eating it like its candy, he was on stick #3 when I found him.  This is the same draw i have had to put other stuff in because he kept getting into it.  He also loves tooth paste, now we have to shut the bathroom door from him.  Ryan also thinks it's time for him to shave and get ahold of Chris electric shaver, one good thing he doesn't know how to turn it on.  Finally today he thought it would be good to throw his apple sauce on the floor, thank god i had not done the floors yet.  He is my little devil to say the least.   The other thing i find is that Rebecca and him pick on eachother pretty much every waking hour.  They both feed off eachother, what is with that.  I just end up locking Ryan down stairs where he can not annoy his sister.

Well I am look for spirital guidance lately, something I feel i have missed out one.  Most of you know I am Catholic but I just not happy at our current church with our current priest.  I have commited that i want my child raised in the Catholic faith until they can choose for themselves.  None the less I have been seeking out guidance and exploring my faither deeper.  A friend of mine gave me a website to visit and see how faith has worked in one womens life.  Through this i have learned so much, I read her block and gain knowlegde and inspirtation not to quite.  Also, this same friend told me about a book, The Shack by William P. Young.  It has taken me about a month to read because it has alot of information to process and sort through.  The book is a work of fiction but with a twist to make you think about God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit. I have truly enjoyed this book and plan to read it again because there is o much to digest in it.  Thank you Heather for reccomending it, it was so worth the read. 

With that I have continued with MOPS this year, for those that don't know what it is it's Mother of Preschoolers.  This is my 3rd year attending and last year was a break through for me.  I have a great leader and asked for her back again this year because i feel she still has alot to teach me.  I hope this year will bring more changes in me.  I honestly feel this is what is missing in my life, this is what I have been searching for and hope to learn about. 

Enough for now.  If you really want a good read go and pick up The Shack it's so worth it

Signing off  Anne Marie

Well today is another busy day in the Palmateer house.  Took both girls to school, Becca to preschool and Kaitlyn to 1st grade.  Then Ryan and I had a baby shower for a friend this morning.  She is having her 3rd, she has two girls and this one will be a boy.  Do you know most of the people iI know having babies are going for their 3rd and they have 2 of one sex and end up getting the oppisite the last time around.  I love having a little boy, but they are always busy.  Back to today, after that I had to rush back and get Becca from school, rush home and feed them both lunch.  After lunch they had to go down for naps right away because today or this evening is Ballet and Gymnastics for Rebecca and Gymnastics for Kaitlyn.  I have to leave the house at 3 on the dot to be in car pool line up front so I can back it to ballet on time.  Tuesdays are crazy but it's better than having many days during the week booked with stuff that needs to be done. 

I am room mom for Kaitlyn's class again this year, so that means I have to corrdinate all the volunteers that come into the classroom to help out.  I sent out all those emails and I am just waiting to hear back so I can get everyone schedule starting Sept. 22nd.  I enjoy volunteering in the school but I don't know if I will be able to do it this year, i hope so but we will see.  I have to find someone to keep Ryan and it's not fair to have a neighbor watch him every week when I may not watch their kids every week. 

Well off to relax for a bit before the fun starts again.  Let's just say having to wake kids up from nap is not always fun.

Can you believe another summer is gone and another school year has started.  It seems like each year things get faster and faster, with no slowing down in sight.  Kaitlyn started 1st Grade on August 25th.  We could not have asked for a better teacher than the one she got, Mrs. Cole is awesome and I think Kaitlyn will do well with her.  Becca also met her teacher the morning of the 25th but only for an hour.  She too has a wonderful teacher, whom I think will do wonders for Becca. They both started gymnastics together on the 26th.  Let's just say that Becca asks me every day if we are going to gymnastics, she loves it that much. 

After the Labor day weekend life was back to that busy pass, Becca in school 4 days a week, Kaitlyn going to school, being in the car transporting everyone and all the extra's after school we are in.  So let's see Becca goes to school M-Th, ballet and gymnastics on tuesday, Kaitlyn school all week, gymnastics tuesday and faith development/sunday school on wednesday nights.  Tuesday seem crazy right now but once we get the hang of it I think it will work great for us since we only have activities 2 days a week versus 3 days like last year. 

Poor Ryan is just along for the ride, he is dragged everywhere, but his time will come too where he get's his activities.  Believe it or not our little boy turned 2 on August 28th.  No big party this year but I did make him a Car's birthday cake which he loved. I just can't believe he is 2, when it was just yesterday he was a baby. Our little pint size wonder is very scrappy for his small size. I can honestly say don't let the size full you because he is into everything. 

Thats enough from me for now.  Please remember to come back and check the sight because I plan on using this as my blog to keep family and friends aware of how we are doing.
