Wow a lot has happened in a month – sorry I have been neglecting my updates!

To pick up after my last post, we had a wonderful visit with my family. My brother Matt and his wife Becky, who are expecting their first SINGLE baby in December, were able to get their “feet wet” looking after the boys. They fed the boys lots of bottles and Matt is proud to report he has maintained his goal of “not changing a diaper until it’s his own kid”. As you can see in the below picture, Matt is the only one without a baby.

Becky on the other hand didn’t have a choice, as you can see she became Ander’s best friend – I actually think he wanted some quality time with his cousin.




Grandpa John and Grandma Carol got lots of cuddles too. Below are some great pictures of them with all three boys being both “Grandpa’s Sidekicks” and advocates for “What happens at Grandma’s stays at Grandma’s”.



The boys had their first family fun. We broke down and bought some jogging strollers – it may have been the largest “baby” purchase that we have made, but it has been worth every cent! We are quite the sight running through the neighborhood. I can’t tell you how many times people drive by and hold up three fingers as if to ask “three??” We politely smile and node our heads … “yes three!” You can’t tell by the picture, but they boys actually do LOVE going out for a run and we love getting out of the house.



Below are a couple pictures of Dad and Asher & Mom and Aaron.




The biggest news of the month is that the boys are FINALLY sleeping through the night. We have had a week straight of solid sleep with all three boys sleeping from 8-9pm to 4-5am! Their acid reflux is completely under control and we are finally settling into a routine.



Dad snapped this picture of all three boys while mom was at work; I thought it was super cute. I’ve asked dad to take new pictures every day – so expect lots of pictures and I promise I will do better and updating the blog.


Aaron had his first road race this month. Best Buy had a United Way 5K race and Mom decided that it was time for her to get back into running full swing. Her team had a Vikings theme and he fit right in with his new onesie that Grandma Carol go t for him. It was fun to see him be viewed as a singleton and to get some quality one on one time with mom.




We are hoping our next race will be at the end of this month for the Monster Dash 5 or 10K where mom & dad will take the boys dressed in their sea turtle halloween costumes!





Aaron and Asher are finally big enough and have started playing in their jumperoos. As you can see in the picture below and video they are have lots of fun. Their feet barely touch the ground but they still manage to get bouncing a little bit. I have a feeling they will be an essential part of our survival in the upcoming months.



Weight update: Aaron 14lb, Asher 13, and Anders 9lbs 10oz
