Baptism, Preschool and Doctor Visits!

Our three little amigos! All three of them are doing so well! I cannot believe how they are developing right in front of us! It is truly amazing! The boys love their sister sooo much and Cate loves them right back. She is always giving kisses and just lights up when they are around. Sebastian and John give her so much love and attention, it is really fun to see. I hope it continues for a few more months at least. If this continues, Catie will have 2 very protective brothers as she gets older!







Sebastian and his cousin Mckenna started preschool this week. I brought both of them on Monday morning and they were both so excited and did so well. Poor John thought he wanted to stay too so when I told him we had to go home (without Sebastian and Mckenna), he threw an all out fit. He sat down on the floor and screamed. It was quite the scene....that led to me carrying both John and Cate out of the school. Good thing I have worked up my arm muscles! The rest of the day all Sebastian was saying was, "Mommy, cool (school) is so fun!" That is such a relief!
Sebastian looks up to his cousin Mckenna in more ways than one! I am so thankful they are able to go to school together. Since they are only a month and a half apart in age, they will go to school together from here on out...that might be a little dangerous for their teachers!!

Our three future Huskies!! We got t-shirts from St. Cloud State this week and they wanted their pictures taken with them. They were pretty pumped about the dogs on their shirts!




My aunt Pat made each of the kids their own blankets. Sebastian chose the Duke Blue Devil material and John got the Twins blanket. Neither one could go wrong, they are so cute! They sleep with them every nap and every night. Even on some warmer nights, they still want me to cover them up. Catie's blanket is a beautiful princess one...perfect for our little princess!
The kids love taking baths and John was all smiles about taking a bath in grandma's sink. There were quite a few tears shed when he had to come out!
Our little princess!

On September 5th, all three of the kids were baptized. It was a very nice ceremony and they all were very cooperative. Don't let this next picture fool you! Those 3 together just scream TROUBLE!!


Cate is getting ready to be baptized, I think if we would have waited any longer, we would have had to do some alterations on the dress! She is growing like a weed and we had a little trouble getting the last button shut!
The boys being silly here, thinking they are looking pretty handsome! I would have to agree!

Lastly, we have been making quite a few visits to doctor appointments. We took all three kids to the U of M for their complete physicals and now we are in the process of taking them in to our regular pediatrician. Sebastian and Cate have already had their appointments and have had their shots. It seems like every doctor visit leads to another and then another and yet another. My calendar is full of doctor visits. Luckily, my sister, mom and dad have been here to help out when Rhett is not able to get off of work. I don't know what I would do without them! We are trying really hard to get everything done this year so that our insurance company won't drop us for too many claims! I always like to keep my countertops clean, yes, even with 3 kids but I have one area designated for medications. It seriously looks like a small pharmacy. I think our 3 kids are keeping the Target Pharmacy up and running. All three kids are being treated for parasites and we have some low iron, ear infections, seasonal allergies and teething. It will be so nice when we get everyone medicine free!
