Family Photoshoot

Here are some of the nicest shots from our recent family photo shoot. Photos from our third floor porch with the city skyline in the background will never get old!

November: A Quick Recap

We've been busy, somehow even busier than usual, and blogging just hasn't taken a high priority.   Here's a quick recap of all that we were up to last month. 

Alex - Mr. Personality

Alex seems to be the family extrovert, though lately he's going through a very clingy, Mommy-phase, that I'm hoping disappears in the next month or so (similar to when Oliver's vanished).  While Oliver and Lukas tend to have more serious solemn faces, Alex is usually smiling and and pretty happy-go-lucky.  He makes this noise that sounds like "Ah, ha, ha" when he is running towards something he likes that always makes me smile.   

Lukas... Little Lukie

Lukas is our little munchkin.  Though he isn't technically the youngest, and was a bit heavier than Alex at birth, he's our littlest peanut.  Hovering at the fifth percentile for weight and only slightly more for height, he is very small for his age, but makes up for it with plenty of attitude and personality! Lukas is independent and tends to keep to himself, but is also very caring, bringing his brothers' their lovies when he sees that they are sad or that a lovey is being neglected.  He may not be as loud as Alex, but he is constantly babbling and telling us things, especially pointing out the planes, dogs, buses, and trucks he sees when we are out.  He also is the most German of the bunch - this kid has the German stubbornness and temper in spades!
