Stroll N Roll!

We love the Stroll N Roll!  When we woke up today it was raining and when we drove home tonight it was raining, but for a few hours it stopped and it was really nice during the walk.  It was at Fredrick Meijer Gardens again this year.  We walked a different path this year than the past few and it was great to see some new things.  We had most of the regulars this year, plus a couple extras.  This year the Stroll N Roll was able to raise over 25 thousand dollars!  All of that money goes back into people with Spina Bifida because it is 100% run by volunteers.  It is a great event!  It also allows us the opportunity to talk with other families that have kids with SB and that is wonderful.

 They had on big boy pants :)  They did not last to long, Tony pooped right through them

 The walk
 The babies enjoyed the walk too, and fell asleep

 Almost the whole group

 Rolling down the hill.  This might be the favorite thing they do

5 months old (almost a month later)

Being that the first day of school was the day after their 5 month birthday, things were a little crazy, but we took a few pictures a couple days later.  They were not in a very smiley mood, but they are cute anyway.

 It was almost nap time, so they were a little sleepy
 They were interested in the click sound of the camera too
 The bigs really love the littles
They were not sure about being on the grass either :)

So many firsts!

So many firsts this school year!  Vince started 1st grade and Dominic started 4 day a week preschool.  I also went back to work and so far it has been good.  I have some great classes.  So far the school year has been busy and even a little crazy at times, but I think after four weeks we are starting to get into a routine of things.  The babies have had a couple of firsts too.  They got to try food.  We started them on oatmeal and so far so good.  Tony and Alex have both been very interested in our food, so we gave it a shot and we got some cute faces.

 Go Blue!
