a quick catch up

We Steeds are still here! We are staying busy..but mostly just with living life and experiencing these babies grow and grow :)

Adrian is just seven weeks from graduating nursing school - where we will go from there God only knows at this point, but we are anxious to get that part done (perhaps him more than me ..perhaps :)  He is still working 4-12a shift, and going to school and clinicals during the day.  He is Super Daddy ..for sure. He is not going to know what to do with himself when he just has a full time job! :)

Ty is moving through First Grade, with plans to start Second Grade this fall ..still at home. He is doing great, reading and doing math like a little genius :) He is also doing karate, just earning his "ghi" this week! He has been visiting the class for a little bit, the Sensai telling us that he had to be fully committed before getting to wear the uniform.  He is doing great, have much less issue with picking up the moves than I do getting us all there two nights a week :)

Ty had me take this one today, to send to Grammy ....

He thinks he is pretty hot stuff ;)

Canon is doing great as well ..daily cracking us up with his witty verbage :) He talks NON-stop and is also quite observant about things in his little life, so you can imagine some of the conversations we have had :)

His most recent accomplishment is his learning to ride his bike without training wheels ...he is quite proud of it, though for some reason this past week he has been a little tentative. I think it is because he cant get on the bike by himself quite yet. He is just tall enough to need a bigger bike, but still too short to get it going...poor kid.

Then, Joshua ...or Josh, as he has become pretty consistently. He is 10 months old, and just wonderful. He is SO sweet, and just as cuddly and happy has his brothers were :) He is cruising like a champ, experimenting with standing on his own and can make it up the stairs in 10 second flat.

It already has a sense of humor, which he uses on his brothers on a very regular basis. He loves to makes sounds and do stuff that makes them laugh. They loves to do the same for him as well ..so things are always a bit loud around here :)

He is eating more than I remember his brothers eating, still wanting to nurse or drink milk every couple of hours. He is also hasnt met anything edible he wont eat. Saltine crackers are my salvation on about dinner time :)

These sweet boys make me one blessed wife and mama :)
