Colleen and Mike's baby- Jack DeJong

So what have we been up to? Why is it so hard to remember what has been keeping me so busy?:) This post will probably be a random string of events and thoughts, sorry!

I forgot to post that Nate's sister Colleen had her baby. Baby Jack was born on Caleb's birthday, September 19. Caleb was very excited to share his birthday with his new nephew! Hopefully we'll meet Jack sometime soon.

We've been enjoying this past week of warm days. The babies like to roam around the yard and play in the sandbox. Thankfully they don't put much in their mouths anymore! Isaac is starting to imitate animal noises and Cardale can mimic words/sounds really well. Cardale still can't eat Cheerios/table food without puking. It is frustrating b/c he is 10 months old now, but hopefully by his 1st birthday he will be ready.

I have started taking a Zumba class at the gym. Zumba is an aerobic/dance class that uses salsa and Bollywood music. I look ridiculous dancing- my bony elbows flying around and hips that don't shake, but it's fun!:)

Nate is still in training at work, and will be until May. The training is going well overall. The bad part is that he has to work 2nd shift often. It's hard on both of us, but doing the supper/bedtime routine by myself every night gets old fast. Nate wins the "best husband" award. Tomorrow he is taking all the kids to my parent's house for the weekend and I'll have the house to myself! I am hoping to get alot of housework done and then Sat night having some fun with the girls.:)
