Colin's clock project

Colin was very excited to work on
his clock project with his Daddy.
He did a great job painting and then
helping put it together. Terrance
did a great job too, even with the lack of sleep
that comes with the night shift and an outage.

Kelli told me that today when she dropped the kids off to school, Colin had to tell his principal all about his project. Too cute.

Nicholas Matthew Brunetti has arrived.

A new Brunetti has joined the crew. Nicholas Matthew was born on 9/23/08 at 4:45, weighing 6 lbs 12 oz. Monica did a great job bringing this adorable baby into the world. I can't wait to meet him and spoil him as his Aunt. The boys have mixed emotions about their new cousin. Dalton is just happy he isn't living here. Ian says baby and Colin wants to drive to Jersey to meet him. It will be a lot of fun watching these 4 boys grow up together. Congrats to Monica & Steve, good luck on the nights ahead and the many years to come. Enjoy every moment because it goes by so quickly. I can hardly believe that's my baby brother holding his new baby. Look out world, Steve has a kid.

Deja Vu (This time on Ian)

So I am not in the running for the mommy of the year award...
Dalton managed to get a hold of the safety scissors again (mind you we have them so they can do arts & craft project) and this time practiced on his brother, Ian. The haircuts are very similar. He must be taking notes. Maybe the next time it will be a little more even. Oh well, another trip to see Danny.

And yes these haircuts can be completed in the time it takes to put laundry away.

Side note: I have been informed that many people think that Dalton cut his own hair again. Not so, this time he cut Ian's hair. It's amazing that they look so much alike, but that is Ian with the nasty bear in his mouth.

Ian and his bear.

Ian has become very attached to his teddy bear. He has to have it all the time especially to go to bed. It has a special odor and dirt ring from it being in his mouth all the time. I try to get it from him almost everyday to wash it because it is a little gross. But it is very loved.

Baby Fever

We have a new member of the clique, Andrew David. Our neighbor and friend, Ginny went into labor today and had her beautiful baby boy. We can't wait to meet him. We will try to get to the hospital before they leave however with our crew sometimes thats not the best.

Update:

We did not get to the hospital as I figured. But we were able to greet them as they got home. We delivered some flowers and the next night took dinner to the the family. Sarah is so excited to be a big sister and is very good at it. She has been practicing with our boys for a long time.

We are so excited that there is another boy in the group because at this house we are a little partial. It's also very exciting because Ian is no longer the baby in the group.

We are still on high alert for the next new baby boy addition to the Brunetti family. It's anyday now or definitely on Tuesday when Monica is induced. Stay tuned.

Boys and Mud

Tropical Storm Hanna has passed and is on its way up north. We are now left with lots of good mud puddles. The boys are having a blast driving their trucks and four wheeler through all of them. Last night and this morning did not look like it was going to be a good day but it has now turned out to be quite a nice day. The sun is out and of course the temperature is up. I guess that makes a good day for splashing though mud puddles.

Colin's First Day of School

It's official, Colin has started his first day of Pre-K.
Mommy and Colin got up in plenty of time to get ready
and get to school on time. Daddy met us there so he could see
him off for his first day as well. He was excited and only had a little concern about us leaving. He got to put his bookbag up in his cubby and pick the flavor of milk he wanted for breakfast and it was off to play with some Lego's.
It was very exciting and sad at the same time. A whole new chapter is starting which is fun but it is hard to let your baby grow up. Luckily I have lots to keep me occupied during the day but I have to admit I can't wait for 2:45.

Update on Dalton's Hair

Back to Short & Crazy. We had to take Dalton to see Danny to even out his hairdo. He is back to looking like his Daddy again. It's very cute and he seems happy. He was very excited to get up in the chair and get it cut. So maybe he was trying to tell us something by cutting it.
