Our Little Paul Clan

Also taken last weekend...

All of Us (The Paul Family)

Man, has our family grown in the last little bit...



From right to left:

Me (with Nate), James, Sonia (with Jude), Amber, Barb, Jeramie, Bob (with Gage).
This was taken at Barb and Jeramie's engagement party last Saturday.

Tub Time and Elmo Watching

Jude in the tub...


Nate in the tub...


Gage watching Elmo with... who else? Elmo! (He HATES baths... if anyone has any suggestions, we are so totally open to them...)

Fun With Apples!

Kerry gave us some apples from her tree this past weekend. While I was making applesauce on Monday, Gage stole a few and tried to feed them to Elmo!






And, the boys actually ENJOYING their high chairs. They are starting to get really active, no more sitting around for them! Most of the day is spent exploring their hands and dodging Gage's blows!

Beds, toys and stuff

Here are the pictures that I promised days ago. I finally got batteries for my camera.

Gage napping in his toddler bed. He's much better at it now, actually sleeps with his head in the right direction and under the covers and everything!




Nate in his saucer and Jude in the jumperoo. Bad picture of Nate, but he was tired.

Good Night!

It's finally happened! Gage had his first night in his big boy bed. James moved the crib into the twins' room, as they were running out of room in their crib together. Gage went to sleep really well, and slept all the way through until after 7 this morning. Nate and Jude slept in their own cribs for the first time and slept from 9:30 last night until 5:45 this morning, the first full night for them both. James and I think it's because they weren't kicking eachother and waking eachother up. They sure looked relieved that they had so much room in their cribs.

We have rearranged the kitchen too, so that the high chairs are in there now, as the babies are big enough to sit in them sometimes. We have enough room that when they are done with the high chairs we will be able to put another pantry in the kitchen to hold dry goods. Who knew we just had the layout wrong? This place is bigger than we though. Nate and Jude have started to use the exersaucer and the Jumperoo as well. Gage enjoys them when they are in there, he can play with them a bit more, and they like to watch him run around. It was a super big weekend! I will have pictures when I get batteries for my camera, hopefully tomorrow when Gage is at Christie's.

Just me and my boys

My first picture with all three of my boys. It's not great, but it will do. Gage is 20 months, and Nate and Jude are 3 1/2 months. I am, of course, the big 3-0 (blech. how did I get to be 30?)

New Wheels

Gage has his very first bike! We bought it yesterday at Toys R Us, he wouldn't get off of it in the store, and almost had a fit when Dad was carrying him to the till. When we went for our walk last night, he rode the whole way, and had such a good time.
