Here we go!

Well, we finally bought a truck today. Now we just have to finish sifting and packing up and make the long journey. Our plan is to leave Friday or Saturday and stop in Luther for a family reunion. So my guess is we will arrive in Houghton Sunday or Monday.
Mathias is 5 months, almost crawling and has 2 teeth. He is a very happy boy. Clayton and Jeriah are more talkative and energetic than ever.

5 Months Going on 8

Mathias is 5 months and 1 day old today. As if he were not growing up fast enough already, he decided in the last week that he needed to have teeth and start balancing on his hands and knees to get ready to crawl. Yep, he now has 2 teeth that have broken the surface and today he was rocking back and forth on his hands and knees!! Here is a video of him playing leap frog. I guess he wants to catch up with his brothers. He has had his eyes on our food and drinks as well. He is a very happy boy and very aware of everyone and everything around him.

Clay birthday is coming up, so what does he want?.... "a transforming super hero crashing cake", of course:) I guess now we just have to figure out where to get one!

Growing and Laughing

Here are some more pics and videos of our 3 growing boys. The baby is almost as big as the other two already!!

Videos

I am posting a couple videos here from around April 20th. Included are Mathias' first laugh, Clayton and Mathias conversation, and Jeriah feeding lucky duck. The one of Jeriah is hilarious and I don't know if I really should post it, but here it is. Enjoy,

11 weeks and counting

Baby Mathias is already 11 weeks old, today--man how time flies!! He already has a tooth popping through so we had a lovely day of teething (I mean screaming) on Monday :(
On a happier note, Mathias also laughed for the first time a little over a week ago.
He slept through the night a few times a week or so ago but has definitely not made it a habit yet.
The boys love their baby brother, especially Clayton now. He says, "that is our baby." He is always in the baby's face talking to him and kissing him.
Today Eric asked Jeriah to go upstairs and find his phone. He came back down and Eric asked, "do you have my phone?" Jeriah said, "Yes." Eric said, "Show it to me" and Jeriah held out a toy car and said, "Your phone turned into a car." haha Then Eric asked Clayton to go up to get his phone and Clayton said, "No, I am too busy eating an apple." oh, the honesty of children :)

As for our moving plans, we have a place to rent in Houghton starting June 1st, but I dont know when we will actually get up there since clay has school until June 4 and then Eric has a trip to Las Vegas a couple weeks later.
