Nolan and Manny

After writing the last two blogs I realized I mostly share about Keaton but not much about Nolan or Manny. Rarely about TJ and I but that's because we are part of all these experiences (and we are less interesting).

Nolan and Manny are doing exciting things too. 

The most exciting things in Manny's life include getting food that he will eat, getting as many treats as he can con out of us, and his family of course.  Everyone in the family really adores him even though he is crazy. We always remind him that he is living like a King compared to most other dogs.

Nolan spends his days standing up on anything he can...over...and over...and over.  Getting lots of bumps and bruises.  Or chewing on anything that will fit in his mouth.  Manny conveniently leaves his toys/bones in the middle of the toy room and Nolan always choses them over anything else.  So Manny gets lots of attention since we are always grabbing his stuff from Nolan.  Nolan follows his brother around wanting to be part of everything he's doing.  It took him awhile to move but boy does this guy move now.  So much that he has an interesting hair cut from not sitting still.  I won't mention who did the hair cut.
Nolan pretty much looks like this the majority of the day.  He is such a sweet little guy with so much personality.  And so much to say (must run in the family).
 
 
 
What's going on with TJ and I?? Watching Netflix marathons.  Going to bed at 9:30.  TJ slept till 6:30 this morning!! That is big news!!!

Fall's almost here

Which means Back to School and Football. 

I know next to nothing about football but have jumped on the "bandwagon" to cheer on the Seahawks.  It's fun to see Seattle fans explode with enthusiasm.  Speaking of enthusiasm, Keaton is pretty excited about the whole thing too!  Although he was pretty disappointed when we wouldn't turn off the TV so he could dance during the home opener.


 
 
Keaton started a new preschool this week.  And he's had a great time so far.  On his first day he found out there was a guy in his class he already knew.  Plus he got a birthday invitation on the first day...and cinnamon rolls for breakfast.  Nolan looks pretty excited to have him out of the house for a few hours!
 
 
So on Mon/Tues he goes to the YMCA school to get strong and healthy and on Thurs/Fri he goes to the Andover School to get smart.  And Wednesday's have been reserved for fun with grandpa.  My goal is to have a consistent schedule, which will be hard since I typically decide what we're doing the morning of.  But I think it will be good for him (or super boring since he's use to spontaneity).
 
Up next...Halloween...already have 2 pumpkins and more scarecrows than I can count!




Summer's Over

We tried to do as much as we could before Summer was over (well I guess it hasn't officially ended).  Getting outside was the priority since rain is right around the corner.
