Our boys almost might as well be triplets. They are all boys. They all look similar and they act similarly. They are also all learning 3 languages at the same time. Of course they mostly hear English. But, starting when Jude was about 3 and when Levi was born, we starting introducing German. They both …

Asher Tumbles Down the Stairs and Jude Saves Him
It was apparently a circus as usual at our house yesterday. While I was at work, the boys were running wild, like normal. Andy turned away for just a minute and Jude ran down the stairs and Asher (who was crawling) decided to follow him. Asher fell down 3 stairs and then Jude raced up …

Grandma Proper’s Presents
At Sarah Proper’s (Harter’s) wedding gift opening on Sunday, a strange thing happened. There were dozens and dozens of gifts in nice boxes and bags. But, Levi was fascinated only with 3 presents. He dragged the first one over and kept pointing at it and saying “choo choo.” He clearly and mistakenly thought there was …
Levi’s New Lines
Levi still doesn’t talk much for being 2 years and 3 months old. But, he’s adding words more frequently now. He now says, “No way.” He also said, “No, mama” and “blue car.”  He says, “I too” for “me too.” I can only think that may be a translation of “Ich auch” (literally “I also” in German). …
Jude Can See Up to Space
On the way to Jude’s doctor’s appointment this morning, I was explaining to him different things they were going to check, including his vision. He said, “I can see really good. I can see up to space and that is really far away. The sun and the moon are in space and I can see …
Jude: The Entrepreneur
Last night Jude hadn’t had a nap so he was just a total crab. I asked him to clean up his toys. When he didn’t do it, I said that he could leave out whatever toys he wanted to donate or sell in a garage sale. Then he decided he wanted to have a garage …
Jude Tackles the Minnesota Gophers at Football Camp
Although this video doesn’ t show it (Andy has other video that does show it), Jude attended Gopher football camp last weekend and took every opportunity to tackle the large Gopher football players. When his instructions were to run up and then around a player who was standing there waiting to tackle him if he got …

Children’s Church Embarrassment
Jude has been going to children’s church for maybe 8 months or so and I just learned some embarrassing stuff. First of all, I guess they take an offering each week and use the money to buy gospel materials for poor children in other countries or whatever ministry they select for the year. Jude never …
Asher Walks!
Asher is just 8 months old, but is already table walking and walking with a walker. It’s really crazy to see since he’s so little and skinny. He just looks too small for that. But, he’s far to eager to keep up with his cool brothers so he’s right on their tail. Jude and Levi …
Baby Bobo
Levi is talking more and more. He now has come up with a way to refer to baby Asher — “Bobo.” It’s so cute. He is so nurturing towards Asher and kisses and hugs him a lot. We also saw his nurturing side last week. We ended up taking a baby girt doll home from …
