Kiddos Update

 

Breaking news alert....Aubrey is potty trained! A lot has been going on in the Steel household of late. The kids are back in the daycare center that Aubrey went to for the first 2+ years of her life. Colton has taken very well to daycare and is becoming much more independent. Also, as previously mentioned, Aubrey is fully potty trained now. With the move back to the daycare center we thought it would be a good time to give the potty training another shot and she took right to it this time. I would say for about the last week or so she has not had any accidents...yeah Aubrey! In "Colton News"...Colton was fitted for his helmet this past Friday (April 16th). He has a mild case of a flat backside of his head. He has been wearing the helmet off and on this weekend during the introduction phase. Starting tomorrow though he will be wearing the helmet 23 hours a day for about two months. By Sunday morning he was already able to nap with the helmet on though (as pictured) so we think he will do really well with the helmet. We hope everybody is enjoying the best spring ever (perfect weather, Target Field, Twins on their way to the World Series)!!

Easter Fun!

 

Happy belated Easter! Easter day included a bunch of fun with family. Aubrey and Colton's cousins, Gavin and Aidan, came over and got to do an easter egg hunt in the yard. After finding all of the eggs, Bree and Dan and an "adult easter egg hunt" in the house which consists of hunting for lottery tickets. There were eight adult guests so we hid four tickets for each adult. The day came and went and only 31 of the 32 lottery tickets were found so next time you are at our house, keep your eyes peeled for that mysterious 32nd ticket...it could lead to early retirement! Easter was a blast and we are so glad we were able to share with so many family members.

Easter Weekend

 

Happy Easter everybody. Our Easter weekend is only half way done and it has already been a busy, very enjoyable, one. Friday night we stayed in and decorated Easter eggs. Aubrey really enjoyed decorating eggs this year. She decorated about 10 eggs and would have done about 50 if Mom and Dad hadn't run out of eggs. Colton is doing really well. He is really, REALLY excited for the Twins to start as you can clearly see by how happy he is in his Joe Mauer t-shirt. Saturday night we decorated Easter cookies. Dad didn't get any pictures of this as there was a lot of cleanup associated with the cookie decorating fun. Easter Sunday we will be hosting family and having games for the kids. It is always wonderful to get together with family and we are looking forward to it. I will make sure to post another round of pictures. Happy Easter to everybody!!
