December 2007

The kids are doing well and having fun. The boys are 6 months old now -- Kellen is 15.5 lbs and Camden 24lbs. Good, strong kids for preemies! They take after their dad and have his blonde hair and blue eyes!

Cadence is just a sweetie. She loves to use sign language and is so active!

Thanksgiving - November 22, 2007

We are so thankful to have had such a wonderful fall 2007! Cadence turns 2 years old on December 21st and the boys are 6 months old this week. The boys are doing well considering they were 9 weeks early. They are growing like weeds! Kellen is now 14.5 lbs and Camden is a whopping 23 lbs! The boys are only 16 months younger than Cadence and yet Camden is only 8 lbs less.

We spent Thanksgiving with family here in the northwest. Cadence and her cousin, Finnley, enjoyed searching for the nuts that the Thanksgiving Squirrel had hidden. A wonderful family tradition where nuts are hidden around the house (similar to the Easter Bunny) and some of the nuts have money hidden inside!

We look forward to a joyous 2008 and hope to see friends and family more often as we settle into our routine with the kids. (To view all videos uploaded through YouTube once you click on one of the links below - our user name is raki1113).

Halloween & Pumpkins 2007

October 2007 - Picking Pumpkins

Cadence -- 22 months / Kellen & Camden -- 5 months

We had a great time again this year at Fall City Farms. Cadence especially loved everything --- especially any pumpkin bigger than her! The cute pumpkin hats were handmade by our friend, Linda Miller!

October 2007

Cadence is nearing the 2 year old mark and is just amazing. She's signing and half-talking and understand everything. She doesn't have a jealous bone in her body and absolutely adores the boys. She enjoys helping to feed and change them.

The boys are growing like weeds. THey are now 5 months old. At the 4 month mark they were 12.5 lbs (Kellen) and 17 lbs (Camden). Needless to say Camden enjoys eating to a much greater degree than Kellen. They are sweet boys -- active during the day, a bit crazy in the evening and are sleeping through the night.

Kyle left Passage Events early this month. He's looking at a number of future options, including starting a new internet company. Keep a lookout for more details.
