I wanted to do a quick post to catch everyone up on our week. Zander has been begging to use sidewalk chalk outside after "school" each day. He calls it "chalk work" and we have enjoyed the warm temperatures and being outside whenever we can. I know it will be getting cold soon and it will be harder to enjoy the outdoors.
We celebrated Grandpa Buzz and Great Grandma Nancy's birthdays this week! We took Grandpa out for frozen yogurt and gave him his present (which ironically included a gift card to a competitive ice cream spot). I was able to eat dinner with Great Grandma on her birthday at her apartment. She had roses delivered from my parents earlier that day. The Houstons gave her a gift certificate for a pedicure so I can't wait until I can take her for her birthday treat!
Then, on Saturday, we celebrated Baby K (aka Baby Cousin) at our house. Zack took the boys to a friend's house while we had the shower at our place. Burke went over to my parents'. It was a donuts and diaper themed shower meaning yummy breakfast items, mimosas (or "mockmosas") for the pregnant chicks and tons of diapers for the new baby! Our friend, Sarah, helped throw the shower. She did an awesome job with the Baby Kennedy banner and offered a lot of special touches to the day. She is due the day before Linds and neither are finding out the gender.... I wonder if the picture below of the three of us is predictive of what the genders will be.... Linds is wearing blue and Sarah is wearing pink! Interesting, huh? ;)
When the boys arrived back home... in time for their naps.... Zander decided he would rather hang out with mommy so he took every book off his shelf and we were able to read quite a few! That evening, we had the whole family over for a cookout to celebrate the Bakewell birthdays together! After the long day, daddy said Zander could take a shower rather than a bath... he was super excited to be in mommy and daddy's bathroom! He is becoming such a big boy! There are not many pictures of Maddox in this post. He has been sick this week. I thought he was teething but haven't seen any new teeth surface yet...so who knows?! He has had a pretty bad cough, runny nose, low grade fever and is drooling like crazy! We tried to keep the week pretty low key for him but he will be in the next post as he turns 11 months tomorrow! I can't believe that he is that old already!
And now for a few "Zanderisms".... I am afraid I will forget all the cute things he is saying as he continues to learn parts of the English language... some of my new favorites include:
1.) "lasterday" (for yesterday)
2.) "one upon a time" (for once upon a time as he is telling a story)
3.) "earclips" (Q-tips... he asks for one every night after his bath!)
