Earlier this month we were in Palm Springs for my cousin Cara's wedding. The weather was absolutely amazing and warm (I cannot believe we were just there). Corey took a couple of pictures of the boys I wanted to share.*I think we may have another golfer on our hands!
Over the past couple of days Will has become Doug's shadow. He has to be with him at all times. He'll have nothing to do with me if he knows Doug is somewhere in the house. Will is very curious about anything Doug is doing including fixing duct-work. He was so cute...he had his own screwdriver and would try and repeat anything Doug would do. The other thing Will is doing is repeating just about anything we say. The funny part is that he'll just say things out of the blue. He's saying funny things like "oh darn" when he forgets to put a toy away. My favorite is he'll say "excuse me" to Gus and Jack when trying to move pass them.
Jack's second tooth has appeared. Sorry for such a close up, but I wanted to make sure the new teeth could been seen!Phew! It has been a busy couple of weeks. I've been studying for my real estate license and just finished all the required classes,150 hours which I crammed into 6 weeks. I'm taking the actual state exam this Friday and am looking forward to getting my license. Thanksgiving was wonderful, we spent the holiday with Doug's family and our friends Dina, Ryan and Luke Hovde. Of course after finishing a wonderful meal the realization that Christmas is right around the corner set in. So with the rest of the Thanksgiving weekend we're trying to get ready and prepare for the next couple of weeks.
Jack's first tooth came in on Monday, November 14 while we were in Palm Springs for my cousin's wedding. It's on the bottom on his right side. Of course I can barely see it (let alone take a picture of it) but I can feel it. So far he's been just like Will when it comes to teething, aside from drooling a bit you'd have no idea that he's been trying to cut teeth. I'll just say it again - we have the most amazing children.
This is a pretty recent picture of the Peppmeier boys. I'm always asked (and told) who Jack and Will look like. Right now I think it's pretty much up in the air. Most people see Doug in Will (where I don't see it) and me in Jack (who really reminds me of Doug). So you decide. Once again Will is not smiling...
Trick or treat! Will was a lion and Jack was a jack-o-lantern. Halloween was pretty low key. We spent the evening with Doug's family, eating dinner and watching the boys (all four of them). Our nephews were a horse and a chicken. What I learned this year is that toddlers don't always want to wear their costumes, no matter how appealing you try and make them.
