Eric returned home Sunday from his 2nd business trip this month. Hopefully this marks one of the last ones as the current project is nearing an end. Unfortunately the end of his work on the project may take up all of December, even through Christmas. :(
This week Clayton wanted to go with Jeriah to his Sunday school class and was all upset because he needed to "play with Jeriah, need to play with my best best friend" :) awwwwwww!
Mathias is still trying to grow up way too fast. He is standing and walking along furniture and trying to eat our food and crawling fast. He even almost climbed into the bathtub Sunday! Unfortunately his advanced development has caught us offguard and unprepared-he has fallen down the stairs twice this week :( We have 16 stairs! Thankfully they are carpeted and the floor at the bottom is not concrete or anything too hard. The first fall was short, i think. He must have slid most of the way down bc i only heard 2 thumps, but today i heard more. i thought eric was skipping down the steps until i heard the baby hit the floor and cry. I'm sure he is fine since he cried harder when i put him to bed than when he fell down the steps and he did not have any marks on him this time. He has a rub burn scab on his nose now from the first incident. Yes, we have a gate, but it does not fit. I ordered one a week or two ago but it has not arrived and he decided to sled down them before we were prepared and of course in the 10 seconds that we were distracted. I may have to hit up Walmart tomorrow and see if they have anything big enough. I expect that he will have two more teeth any day now. Hopefully he does not knock them out anytime soon :/ (sorry, that is kind of ill humor, but trying not to stress out too much)
I hope the next post has only positive remarks.
oh, Clay got to be the "Green Star Student" this week and be the leader and have show and tell. He did a really good job. he likes school and tells me about it when he gets home off the bus. Jeriah is enjoying school also. Tomorrow will be his 3rd day.

Oh my goodness!!! I have to admit I gasped when I read about how it sounded the second time (like Eric skipping down the steps)...he must have gone down quite a few that time. But I also laughed when I read about the teeth... it's hard not to find humor in it when they "walk away" with just a few scrapes or less. Hopefully your gate comes in soon! Sounds like you definitely need it.
We have all had our shares of bumps, bruises and falls with out little ones....Luke fell off the dryer once....and he is fine :) Don't recommend trying that one out but after a "all is fine" trip to the ER and meeting a dad who was there with his 2 year old lego eating son, I felt much better! Isn't life with ALL boys grand!
Yes, Grand. Grand torture sometimes and Grand Joy others.
Eric picked up a gate at Walmart today. I think it will work, as long as we keep it up. The one I ordered will be better b/c you can open it and close it without taking it down completely, so it will be easier to keep it up at all times.
