Soccer

So, both boys have been doing soccer this year. They both have games on Saturday and then Javin has practice two times during the week. IT's been fun and crazy and they are both getting really good. Soccer seems to be the sport for Javin, always running and kicking and he never has to stop for the entire hour. Caellum is an excellent ball handler but insists every week that he doesn't want to play. Good thing he always manages to have fun. As for me... while I've loved every minute I'm super glad that it only goes for two more weeks.

He's such a good hustler

Look-a-likes

Zadek 2 month check up

It was hard to get the kids to look at the camera and not the baby

isn't he cute

Just chillin

So, we just got back from Utah where Zadek turned two months old. I couldn't find my camera before we left so I took a bunch of pictures on my mom's camera an forgot to upload them. But, I did get some new kiddie kandid ones. Anyway, today we took Zadek in for his 2 month check. Here are the stats

Height: 24 in 80%

Weight: 13pounds 3 oz 84%

I think he was actually a little taller. We've had issues with different nurses and how they do things. I have had to go to putting him in 6 month jammies because he is so stinkin tall.

2 Week Checkup

So, Zadek had his 2 week checkup today. He is 8lbs 3 oz, 22 1/2 in. That puts him at 62% on weight and 99% on height. He hasn't quite gotten back up to his birth weight but is looking chunky nonetheless. He is such a good happy baby and I hardly ever hear him cry. The boys are being great older brothers and always want to hold him and give him kisses.

So, Ryan is officially getting back to Qatar tonight. He came home at 2 yesterday afternoon with the announcement that he was leaving on a 9pm flight. Luckily he was leaving from the airport that is 20 minutes away instead of the one in Baltimore. I was hoping he'd be here for his birthday tomorrow and since I didn't know he was leaving until a few hours before we didn't even celebrate or send a package. I know the people in Qatar are excited to have him back as they have been waiting for him to head up a new job.

The kids and I will be leaving for Utah on the 5th of July, since Javin doesn't get out of school until June 24th and will be there to visit/ have help until the 30th. We're excited to see everyone and hope the time flies so that we can have DAD back again.

SOME MORE PICS

Just a few new pictures!! Dad looks so happy to be in this picture. We are sure glad he is still here. I'll let you all know when we find out if he's going back to Qatar or not.

Look I have eyes. This is Zadek 10 days old.

My brothers love me!! Javin and Cael always want to hold him even when he isn't being the happiest camper around. Javin is always giving him kisses on the forehead and saying "He's so cute"

I think this is actually the day after we brought him home. Only two days old and a tiny jaundice. Glad it went away on it's own.

Shan gave birth to Trysten/Zadek (to be determined) on 27 May 2010 at 1:30pm. He is 22 inches and 8 lbs. 11 oz. Both he and Shan are doing great.

He has been a little reticent to show his eyes, but they are there. Even more remarkable is that he has hair!!
