Spencer’s Flag Football season through Aces & Birdies ended last week on a frigid day. That didn’t bother the boys though – they’ll play in the cold!


It was all worth it for the medal!

Also, because I never mentioned it, Maxwell also played flag football in the summer and fall. He loved it…


Wish they could play flag all through elementary!
Football fun!
I took both boys for their annual checkup yesterday and got confirmation that I have two strong, healthy, growing boys! Boys who unknowingly dressed like twinkies yesterday! 🙂


Maxwell is 50 inches tall (75th %) and 52.4 lbs (75th %). He’s a steadily growing! He’s always been right in that 50th – 75th % range but Dr. Walley said with this last growth spurt he’s pushed squarely into the 75th % range which is great! Hopefully he’ll continue on that trajectory. He grew 2.75 inches since last year and gained 5.4 lbs lbs. Good stuff!
Spencer is 46 inches tall and weighs 49.4 lbs (both 75th to 95th %). Again, he’s always been in that % and is growing just as he should! Since last year he has has grown 2.75 inches and gained just over 5.8 lbs. Strong and steady!
For comparison, Maxwell at 6 was 45 and 1/4 inches tall (50-74th%) and 40.4 lbs (50th%). They could not be more different! 🙂
It was an easy visit with only a flu shot. We’re going to try and start weaning Spencer off of his Singulair and inhaler once winter hits. I would love for him not have to take daily meds.
And, because I like to do things like this, here are their yearly photos with Dr. Walley!
3 year checkup…

4 year checkup…

Last year with Spencer at 5, Maxwell at 7, and Samantha at 2.5

And this year! Maxwell at 8 and Spencer at 6!

Always thankful for good doctor reports and healthy, growing kids!
It’s a cold and rainy Monday but these three sillies have the day off so it’s not too bad!

Love having them all home together…for a little while at least! 🙂
I’ve been going back through old photos to make some albums and it’s making me really miss these sweet baby boys…


and this tiny baby girl.

I’m off to cry in my keyboard now…time slow down!
