At home (with Grandma & Grandpa Briggs), preparing to cheer Mizzou on to a victory over #1 ranked Oklahoma while Mom and Dad were at the game.

We have had a busy fall. Adrian got his first tooth on October 25 - at 11 1/2 months! It was an exciting day for us. Isaac already has 3 teeth.

The boys are pulling themselves up on everything and anything all over the house. Adrian is already graceful with getting back on his bottom. Isaac . . . not so much. He basically does the splits and then falls back on his bottom. They are walking with the support of the furniture. It is getting a little dangerous here.

Today, Grandma Oleva spent the day with the boys. She turned her head for a second and when she looked back, Isaac was doing a chin-up on the dining room table. That kid is strong - and hilarious. When you ask him where his eyes are, he blinks them and makes a funny face. If you ask where his nose is, he snorts air in and out of it while he scrunches up his face.

Adrian has been particularly loving lately. Yesterday morning, soon after the boys woke up, Adrian reach over and gave Isaac two kisses. He loves his brother so much. He will hate me someday for sharing that.

Life is good.
