Keegan, Josh & Connolly have had their fill of immunization needles. At least for the next 3-1/2 years. On Monday, Nov. 20th, the boys took their final 2 needles (1 in each arm), their 'gift' for turning 18 months. They do not have to go again until they are 4-1/2 years old.
Keegan was his typical 'hard man' self. He cried for about 10 seconds and then he was fine and playing with the toys the nurse had provided as distraction. Connolly and Josh did not recover as fast from the poke, but they did ok.
Their weights/heights were pretty much the same as they were when we visited the paediatrician in early October. Keegan - 24 lbs/30 inches, Connolly - 24 lbs/31.2 inches, Josh - 23.5 lbs/31.5 inches. Their height has now become a factor around the house, as they are tall enough to reach all the door handles.
The boys were given their first snow-suits this past week. Despite the colder weather these days, they haven't worn them yet, but they have worn their new winter boots and have been trudging around the back-yard in the dirt (one day) and snow (the next). When playing in the yard, one of the boys' favourite activities is to watch all the geese fly over head. This past week, we must have watched over a 500 geese go by - the boys, especially Keegan, were very excited.
As a family, we have tried to make a weekly tradition of taking the dogs with us and going to Beddington park to walk and watch the airplanes fly overhead. The boys love the freedom of being able to walk on their own...as do we.

Here are some pictures we've taken so far this month (November 2006):

Here they come...
How many are there?
Just a few of the hundreds that flew over

Off the beaten path
Waiting for the airplanes
Too tired to finish the walk

Keegan struts his stuff in his new boots
Josh loves his boots, but was not a happy camper for this pic
Getting taller every day
Playing in the snow
The slide works even better with snow on it
Back inside, warm, cozy and enjoying their (upside down) comfy chairs

Nice work with the kids, you guys really deserve a lot of credit for your efforts and I am pleased you are being rewarded for your hard work with three fine looking boys.
Keep it up,
Kerry
Ditto what Kerry wrote. Your boys are a complete joy and it's no surprise since their parents are such wonderful people themselves. Kudos!
BM4E, Jie :o)
p.s. I just noticed that you've replaced the alphabet/numbers sponge mat with the new area rug. It looks great!
