Evan
Ah of course, the choo-choos. It took all day, but we finally got Evan in his costume. We re-used Evan's birthday choo-choos, stuck them on a diaper box, added some flash lights and duct tape, used our Thomas the Tank Engine Remote, and added a hat we got when we went to the Antique Engine show in Brooks to see Grandma's cousin.
I know this was at the Seaside Beach resort with Grandma and Grandpa, but I don't know where. But this picture does show his cutie-pie side.
This was at the leather store in Seaside where he was excited about finding an Indiana Jones hat! He loved showing anyone and everyone who was in the store.
This is my stinker Evan. He's two and enough said! I think in the last few weeks, I have started to see the light at the end of the tantrum tunnel. He has really been doing well learning his colors, shapes, and letters lately. He has also adjusted to not having Caden around while he is at pre-school. He pretty much wrestles the dogs most of time. Of course, all of the pre-school parents know Evan since he is the one running up and down the halls. They try to help me distract him while I pick-up or drop-off Caden. His energy his difficult to deal with now, but he is very sweet and I know his energy will pay-off in the long run.

Caden
Sorry it's been so long folks, here's a brief update from our neck of the woods...
Caden at the beach with Grandma and Grandpa. He loved flying his kite and the Disney channel. He was sad when we had to leave and kept wanting to go back to our room with Grandpa and Grandma (who had already left).
This was the year of home-made costumes (at least for Caden and Evan). Thank goodness for diaper boxes, duct tape, and toilet paper rolls!! Caden was supposed to take his costume to pre-school for a fashion show, but he wouldn't bring it in. He didn't care that he was the only one without a costume. I think he was concerned about it staying nice which was really wise since the box was starting to deteriorate by the time trick or treating started.
Yes, Caden has started pre-school. He loves it! Here he is on his first field trip to the pumpkin patch. We were lucky that Daddy was able to take him. The best story so far happened the 2nd week of school. Caden really wanted to go outside and play with the big kids during their recess. Well, the bathrooms have doors that lead to the outside and Caden took himself to recess without his teacher's knowledge. The head of the Salem-Keizer Pre-school department also plays in Salem Concert Band with me and was talking to the oboeist. She was telling her about how some little boy went out to recess so they had to go into all of the schools and put big huge stop signs on all doors that a pre-schooler could potentionally leave through. The oboeist knew it was Caden since I had already told her this story and said, "Hey, that was Caden!" I like to look at the situation like he's just doing his part to make the world a better and safer place:)

Lillia's Adventures
Wow! This has been a very busy week, especially since Lillia is only 1 week and 1 day old. Here's the story:
At one day old, I noticed Lillia was looking slightly yellow. Her billi-rubbin count was too high and she was put on a wallaby blanket for light therapy. The blanket wasn't enough and she had to go under the fake-and-bake lights in the NICU. We were able to go home on Monday, but had to rent a wallaby blanket at home. We also had to go in to the doctors for a weight check the next day. I still felt like she was pretty yellow (although it was hard to tell surrounded by all her pink), so they decided to do another blood draw for a billi-rubbin count. Her count was too high and we were admitted to the Salem Hospital pediatric department for more fake-and-bake time. Lillia and I stayed for about 24 hours and were able to go home with another appointment (a mother-baby appointment) already scheduled for the next day. Same old, same old for the next day; yellow skin, billi-rubbin count too high, but this time her weight had dropped slightly. So she went back on the wallaby and had another weight check and blood draw the next day. This time, results were good; billi-rubbin was down, and weight was up. We were still instructed to keep her on the wallaby until Monday morning. I think she is doing well. She eats well and seems to have more energy, so I think we have turned the corner with her jaundice issues.

Epidural
Pippa just had her epidural put in around 7 p.m. Her contractions were feeling pretty strong and she was ready for the pain to go away. She is feeling much better now. She is now 5 cm dilated, 100% effaced, and -1 station.
Water Broke
Pippa's water just broke on its own. Things are going well. Also, no magnesium this time. Yeah! Keep you posted.
Getting Ready
I wanted to catch a picture with Pippa while she is still Smiling!
We are totally ready! Pippa has her hot & cold pack, lotion, Lillia's sandals (motivation), Jane Austen book, iPod with speakers, picture key chain with pictures of Caden, Evan, and puppies, and hair doopy-doos.
Real Labor...Coming Soon!
The results are in and Lillia's lungs are mature. YEAH!!! This means that when Pippa finishes her sandwich she will be induced and start the engines.
