Random silly stuff

Here are a few pictures from the past couple of months.

You can also go to my flickr account to see more. I'll be adding more over the next couple of weeks.

Daisy, Daisy..

Pam is incredibly excited about being a Daisy Scout. It has taken the Troop leader since October to get our troop up and going. And of course I've been asked to be Pam's Troop Leader. So now I am a Cub Scout and Girl Scout leader. I have no idea how I get myself into these things.

Aaron is working really hard at basketball. I am hoping to put up a little video of his game Saturday. He is one of the best defensive players on the team. Aaron will throw his body in front of anyone who has the ball.

More Anthony

For those who are unaware, Anthony had surgery this past September to improve his hearing. Jaime and I were concerned that Anthony was not speaking. He would babble and then get very angry that no one understood him. Anthony's doctor sent us to a specialist who had a complete hearing test done. It turned out that he had fluid in his estuation tubes and needed to get them drained. The doctor also put tubes in his ears to help prevent them from filling again. Anthony didn't hear us before. Imagine being under water and people talking to you. That’s the way Anthony heard every thing for the first 2 1/2 years of his life.

The hope was that after the surgery he would start talking because he could now hear. For the first few months, I was a little worried that there was something else wrong. He really wasn't doing much better. But now almost every day there is a new word or even a sentence. His progress is amazing to me.

His favorite words lately are why and toy car.

And just to prove that yes we still do have the other two kids, here are a few current pictures.

Pam loves gymnastics.

Aaron still likes playing basketball. He is getting pretty good at it too.

And we begin...

To start this blog off, I decided to post a little video of Anthony blowing out his birthday candles. I have no idea why his sister is trying to choke him.
