First Steps!

Look at my hot man! I am so proud of him! He just recently ran 3 miles! We've all been trying to get healthy around our house and I've lost 40 lbs, and he has lost over 40 lbs! He began walking/jogging a few months ago and can now run our 3 mile loop. He is so excited about his accomplishment, as he should be. I'm so proud of him! Look at how good he is lookin!!! Go Dan!

Look at how big my babies are getting! It's just wonderful! We had so much fun going to our local pumpkin patch for pumpkins. I love seeing what kind of pumpkins the kids will choose, big or small, long or round, green or orange. I will post pics on Halloween of their pumpkins :)

These next pics are of Ruthie! I can't believe how big she is getting! She is so funny! She is mimicking us a lot now. She loves to say "Ta-Da"! She says "mama" and "dada". It also sounds like she says "What" (without the T, of course), and "na, na", while shaking her head (no, no). Haha! The kids love getting her to talk. She also loves to sing. We tell her to "SING' and she does! It's loud and she grins the whole time. It's so cute!

Another huge milestone...Ruthie has taken her first steps!!!! She loves to stand up and take one step. She then just doesn't quite know how to move that other foot, so she just shakes her hands and screams. She is so cute! We took her to the doctor the other day. She is super tall, has a big head, and is skinny, lol! She only weights 17 lbs (target is 20). He isn't worried, and chalks it up to all her crawling and standing and the fact that she is burning more calories than she is taking in. I love these last two pics...she loves to lean against her Daddy. I love her blue eyes!
