September is Here

August is finally over!!! I'm not saying it wasn't fun. We took a trip to Lambeau with Brandon, Beth and Jameson. We also had two long trips for family weddings in Wisconsin and spend a lot of time on Grandpa and Grandma's farm. We put some work into our house getting ready for winter. We trimmed our trees to save our roof when the snow comes and insulated our pipes to save energy for the boiler. Now it's time to relax. Wait a minute, Susie goes back to work on Friday!!! That means I'm home alone with the two little monsters. Oh well, guess that's my job.
Adam finally started sleeping through the night, and his crying fits have gone from four hours down to one, which is nice. Brayden is having a ball with his little brother. I've never seen a kid so interested in a baby. He pretty much wants to be involved in everything (except the diaper changes). Speaking of diapers, we finally have Brayden potty trained. He has an occasional accident here and there, but other than that, we're very proud of him.
We have no big plans for September, so the boys and I can hopefully get into a groove and get used to not having mommy around all the time (sigh).
Anyway, here is a slideshow of all the highlights of August, enjoy.

Stay At Home Dad

I tried to send this over e-mail a few days ago, but it turned into a catastrophe (at least some people couldn't open it) so I'll put the video here.

4th of July

We spent the fourth weekend on the farm in Wisconsin. Brayden had a lot of fun running around with the alpacas and the guard dogs. I took him out for a ride on the 4-wheeler, but he wasn't much into it this time. It was Adam's first trip away from home and he traveled really well.
On the 4th, Grandma Debbie grilled a huge dinner for everyone. My sister Shonda and her husband Kevin were there. My Grandparents Peggy and Sam were there as well as my Aunt Chris. After dinner, we started a big bonfire and tried to set off fireworks, but Brayden had some problems with the noise. He did get to stay up late though since his cousins he hadn't met yet showed up sporadically through the night. It was pretty cool to see everyone.
