5

Adina finally had her Birthday and is now a big 5 year old! She had her party at the Eagles Nest (huge indoor playland in New Brighton) and all of the kids had a blast. Adina does not enjoy attention, so eating, the Happy Birthday song, and opening gifts was painful for her but once they got to play life was good. I think all of the kids slept pretty well that night. Cora is doing well, she thinks she is five. Everyday we drop Adina off at school she also tries to walk into the class and is very unhappy when we say no (she even took one of the nametags of a kid who was absent and tried sticking it on the door). Oliver continues to be our stud muffin. As we keep increasing his feeds, we are pleased to know that he has gained almost a whole kg, a little over 2 LBS! Way to go Oliver! He really is so amazing.
Baby will be here on Monday the 17th, assuming he or she waits until Monday, (a little more then a day) I will be induced. Life is good and busy as it is for everybody right now. We are busy getting all of our Halloween costumes ready. We have fantastic nurses that work with Oliver and they are all like family to us. They deal with our craziness and love Oliver so much, we are incredibly blessed and life is good. We will update Monday with the news of number four. More craziness to come!!!

Adina finally gets a two wheel scooter. First trip out she flew off the sidewalk and got a pretty sweet knee scrape. She did not find it awesome at all.
