The Quickstad Family: May 2009

Dad's surprise party

We had a great time at Dad's party. He was so surprised! He was late to the party which seems to be a pattern in our family. Thank you so much to all of you that were able to make it. It means so much to all if us.

Supper Club "Breakfast Club"

Reading in bed

Well the boys are doing great. They are growing up so quickly we can hardly believe it. Nate has graduated to his big boy bed. He started crawling out of his crib so we decided it was time. He is a bit of an escape artist. We have had to put a child lock on his door knob to keep him in there. We are planning on taking the crib down this weekend. He will be 21 months on Friday. It's just gone by so fast. He can count to 12 pretty well and loves to sing Twinkle Twinkle Little Star. It's so cute. He is constantly talking and climbing...oh my is he a climber. He is up and on everything and he's tough so if he falls he just gets back up to try again. We have to keep a close eye on him. Collin is doing great too. He is a great helper with dishes and laundry....well sometimes :) He's becoming very independent. He has now had a couple of playdates with Kate where we drop him off and pick him up after a couple hours...I love Kate's mom, Julie, for this!! The boys are enjoying an herb garden Bob planted. It's funny to watch them name the plants and smell them. We've been keeping pretty busy with playdates and activities like the library and indoor gyms. Collin is almost done with school this year. I think he has about 5 days left.

As you can see they are both still into reading.

Easter Egg Hunt at home

So, I just realized how behind I am on the blog. I thought I had posted these already. We had a nice egg hunt for the kids at home Easter morning. They really enjoyed it. In this first picture you can see the boys both have on Collin's new batman underwear or "underwears" as Nate likes to call them.
