TWINS

There are so many babies about to be born or will be soon! Two of those babies are related to me and are floating around inside my sister Bekah.Yes, she is having twins!! They are fraternal.
Identical twins fascinate me. I have always been interested in the fact that identical twins share the same DNA, faces, and other things that should be solely unique to one person. There is even a Twin Day festival that is held in Twinsburg, Ohio...

A festival for the mere celebration of being a twin?! How cool is that! I always wanted to be a twin. Maybe I'll have twins.

Pre-K

Also something that happened in August is that Erick started Pre-K. He goes all day from 8-2:30 and he really likes it. He has two great teachers that know how to keep him straight and one of his best friends is in his class with him- Bobbie. It's a she, not a he, and he probably likes her a tad more than she likes him, but that's to be understood. There's only so much a 4 yr old girl can like about a 4 yr old boy, right? :)

The Month of August

I've missed a few very important things that happen in August.
8-13
One being my 5 anniversary with Adam. We share a love for sushi- don't like it? Well, let me tell you, it is sooooo yummy! Most of the sushi I eat is actually cooked anyway, but I got Adam hooked on it and it's something we go do on special occasions. When I was in Utah in April, Michael took me to an all-you-can-eat sushi restaurant, where you are only allowed to dine for an hour! Well we were ordering left and right and pretty soon, I was nice and full... but it kept coming! Michael and I were doing our best, Velvet too, but everything started to taste like glue and I had a thought of going to the bathroom to throw up some, so that I could come back and help Michael finish, ha ha. If we had left any sushi uneaten, they would have charged us for it. So there's a tip for you!

8-mid of the month
Tripp busted his head on a toy and had to get a staple! Yeah, all was peaceful and Tripp and Chrissy were taking a nap- hence the peace- and suddenly there was this loud bang! So I sent Adam upstairs to check on Chrissy in case she happened to crawl out of her crib and fell to the floor. Next thing I hear is, "Eve! Eve!" Adam came out of the boys' room with Tripp in his arms, blood dripping from the back of his little head. We go to the bathroom and try to clean it up, but Tripp wouldn't let me touch it. My mom and I decided to go and take him to the ER, just to make sure he was alright and to see if he would need stitches. He was totally fine in the waiting room, in fact, he threw the biggest tantrum. When the doctor was checking him out, he asked me what happened and I told him that I really didn't know! One minute he was sleeping, the next bleeding! My mom had found a toy on the floor that had a little blood on it, the only toy in the room and it was not sharp at all. We figured he must have stood or sat up and fell backwards off his bed and his head landed on the toy? Yeah, it does sound crazy. The doctor said he would need just one staple and Tripp got it taken out a week later. The staple is now taped to a page in his baby book :)

8-28
Chrissy's 1st birthday!! She is is taking steps and blowing kisses. And is as cute as can be!!



She mooched a little off of her cousin Sarah's birthday party that we went to that day.


Then we had a little party at Grandma and Grandpa Olsen's house!
