The boys helping daddy pour the retaining wall for the backyard fence. Daddy is a good sport and let the boys help stir and shovel the concrete. Ryan bought a small concrete mixer for this job and it saved tons of time.

Milestones
At 4 months and 2 days old, Kyle hit the first of many milestones on his journey out of blob status. He rolled over! I predict he'll be sitting before his 6 month mark since he can already balance in the tripod position for a good 10 seconds. Our baby is growing up too fast!

Trouble
You know you're in trouble when you call your two year old to lunch by cheerfully saying his name and he responds with, "I didn't do it!"

Uh, Oh
Caden's version of why I spent Saturday afternoon in the ER with him:
"When my cousins were my age they threw their backpacks down the stairs*. I thought it looked like fun, so I threw my backpack down the stairs. Then my button came out and I saw the blood, and I thought, "Uh oh." Then it started to hurt and I cried really loud."
*Editors note: Caden has never seen his cousins wear backpacks, let alone throw them down stairs. I'm not sure where this gem came from.
In case you're curious, having a button the size of a large marble exit through a hole smaller than a pencil is painful, bloody, and traumatic for all involved. And while mom stays calmer under the pressure than dad, mom wimped out when it came to forcing the new button through the rapidly closing and swelling hole whereas dad pushed it right through. We had to go to the ER to check placement and make sure there was no internal bleeding. We hung out for 2.5 hours before Caden was given a clean bill of health and the all clear to return home.
