Since the last post, we’ve had: Thanksgiving, Christmas, my 40th birthday, the boys 5th birthday. In December, the boys tested for (and passed) their yellow belts in aikido. After we set up the Christmas tree and brought the ornaments ... http://nonvi.com/kids/nfblog/?p=76 November 20, 2009 A little late for the Halloween post, but that’s the way it goes sometimes. The boys had a great time at Halloween. They went around with Chris and some of his friends. Andrew and Owen kept up and stayed out the whole time. We only managed ... http://nonvi.com/kids/nfblog/?p=75 October 19, 2009 The boys have acquired some new skills. The day I posted “we haven’t seen them read any books to themselves yes”, I heard Andrew talking in the other room. I walked in and saw him reading “Go Dog Go”. Owen helped with a couple of ... http://nonvi.com/kids/nfblog/?p=74 September 28, 2009 It’s been six months since I’ve updated the site. There’s no way I can cover six months in one post, so I’ll try to hit the highlights. Stats: Andrew is 47 inches tall and 55 lbs. Owen is 45 inches tall and 45 lbs. Although they’ve slept since then, so they ... http://nonvi.com/kids/nfblog/?p=73 March 31, 2009 The boys are four now! (Well, belatedly since their birthday was three weeks ago). The boys are huge.

The boys are coming ... http://nonvi.com/kids/nfblog/?p=72 February 13, 2009 The boys started aikido a couple of weeks ago. They are really enjoying it, and they are doing really well. I’m impressed with how far they’ve come in only a few lessons. Also, two of their friends are joining them on Wednesdays. We have a couple ... http://nonvi.com/kids/nfblog/?p=71 January 12, 2009 Well, we survived the snow. Inches and inches of snow. We measured out back at the height of the snow–14 inches. We were inside for almost two full weeks with only rare breaks. Christmas was fun. Last year, the boys handed out a few presents, ... http://nonvi.com/kids/nfblog/?p=70 December 16, 2008 The boys really enjoyed Thanksgiving. We went over to Jill’s this year. Our boys played with their cousins very nicely. Potty training is coming along really well. Owen has worn underwear for two days in a row now. Andy and Owen have both used the ... http://nonvi.com/kids/nfblog/?p=69 November 23, 2008 Halloween was fun this year. The boys really got into it. Owen was running down the sidewalk from one house to the next. He called out to Andy, “Come on Andy, we have to be quick!” The boys went as pirates this year instead of firefighters. ... http://nonvi.com/kids/nfblog/?p=68 October 31, 2008 We went to Dallas for a week and a half. The boys had a great time. They did very well on their first plane ride. They bounced around a bit between sitting with Nancy and I and my parents, but they settled down nicely after ... http://nonvi.com/kids/nfblog/?p=67
