Calvin- we will start with him since after all his is the cutest. Calvin has been exploding in his language! He is saying full detailed sentences and surprising us with new words we didn't think he knew. Bryon was working with his tools and Calvin says, "Daddy hold on, be right back." and then ran down the hall in search of his tools. He loves his tools and usually they come in the car with us as we are driving places. Calvin is enjoying coloring lately and playing games. We bought Uno Moo with some Christmas gift cards so we can start learning more colors besides red and blue.
New adventures- Calvin decided to see what potting soil tastes like, he didn't like it. He can ride his big wheel he received from Christmas forward (he usually rides his other bike backwards and we push him forward). He is telling us about 50% of the time when he makes pee-pee in his diaper. He even tells us "one more minute" when he has gone poop. And our most recent adventure was going to Grammie's preschool for the afternoon to play. He was so excited! We were going over to Katie's to help her finish packing and she decided to take Mia to preschool. When Calvin found out Mia would not be at Auntie's house he informed me, "I go preschool too". We ate lunch with Grammie and found out the afternoon class wasn't doing any food activities so Calvin was able to stay. He gave me a kiss and said love you barely looking up from the toys he was playing with. He had so much fun!
Here comes trouble :)
Counting after he lined all of them up. (He can count to 11!)

His 1st preschool artwork!
Emily- I am 27 weeks pregnant! Time is going by so quickly with this pregnancy. Calvin says he has baby brother in his belly and says ouch and pushes on his belly. I will get big kicks or pressure and I guess I say ouch and while putting my hand on my belly. I finally found bedding for little man's room! We are doing a music/rock n roll themed room. I didn't want it too baby that way we don't have to redo the room right away. I wanted it like Calvin's that we can use in the toddler years too. My mom found this amazing little piano that we are going to use as a end table/ toy. Calvin is a little Stevie Wonder on it. Bryon was driving around and found a garage sale that had drums for sale. He bought one of the smaller individual drums for the room as well. I am going to do some newborn pictures with him on drum and the piano and then put then up in his room.
We also decided on a name a few weeks ago! We were finally able to pick a name that we both loved. His middle name is my grandpa's name and Uncle Kevin's middle name.
I have had faint spells the majority of the pregnancy and the doctor decided to send me to a neurologist to make sure everything was fine. We knew I was fine but decided it was better to be safe and we went any way. Sure enough the neurologist said it was not neuro related and would like to send me to a cardiologist. He did warn us that we may not get any answers there either but some times pregnancy can show things that would not appear otherwise. Bryon and I decided to wait until I got my glucose test and then see what the next step should be. I did my glucose test last week and the results came back normal. Other than that it is the usually back pains and indigestion. Katie and I have had a nice break from pictures and are starting to book people again. I also have some substitute jobs in the future too! Better get it in while I can.
Bryon- He is having sympathy indigestion. I think he has had more Tums than me! He is really enjoying work and his coworkers. They have had some fun lately. They have also been tracking this one vehicle that leaves him sitting in the car all day doing surveillance. Calvin enjoys it cause Bryon is a little stir crazy and he runs around even more with Calvin. Bryon has been quite the handy man around the house. He has put together a new shelf for my scrapbook area and a new dresser for Calvin. We purchased it at IKEA so he had to put literally everything together on his own. He also just fixed our front security door that saved us a bunch of money! He is hoping to be able to fix the back door as well. Bryon has also laid out idea for a fire pit area in the backyard. He has quite the list before Caden arrives but I think he will get it all accomplished in time.
I will make sure to post more often so it isn't a novel each time. Now that I am all caught up it is time to start cleaning for this weekend. We are hosting a UFC/ guys poker night!

Very cute!! Thanks for the post!!
