Family update

Liam turned 2 months old this week. The time has absolutely flown by. He is getting so big. We have finally seen him smile and he has started cooing now too. We have gotten a few nights of longer stretches of sleep at night. He is starting to be on a little more of a predictable schedule during the day. He loves his swing and his gym mat. Tonight while we ate dinner he layed under his mat and watched the bird and "talked" to him for a good 10 minutes it was so cute. Brady and Cameron thought it was very cute.

Cameron is doing great, he is speaking more and more. knows all his colors, shapes can count to 10 and can sing the alphabet. He loves to swim in the pool, but HATES to get his face wet, he wants to do anything to be just like his older brother or daddy. It is so hard to believe in september he will be going to preschool on monday and Friday.

Brady is 4 going on 40. he always wants to do a project or wants to know what is coming next. We found a camp for Brady to go to that he goes to from 8:30-12:30 and absolutely loves. I love when he comes home tells me about his day and the kids that he has played with. Although Brady will be turning 5 this year he misses the cut ff in kindergarten by 12 days. So he will go back to Rainbow preschool tuesday/Wednesday and Thursday for another year.

We are all doing well as a family of 5! Liam has fit right in. we can't even remember what life was like without him. Another Chapter has begun in the Stack family book of memories!

Vacation 2010

Last week Brian took the week off and I closed for the week so we could go on vacation. On Monday we left for Clark's trading post for the day. Brian and I had been when we were kids so it was fun to be able to take our kis back. The boys had a blast, Cameron especially liked the bear show and asks when we are going to go back to see them. We took the train ride and Brian took the boys on the bumper boats. Liam was so good. We timed our shows around when he would need to eat so we could sit and feed him while we watched the

shows.

After we were done at Clark's we headed up the kangamangus Highway to go to attitash where we would be staying for the next two nights. After we got to our hotel the boys went in the pool for a while and then we had dinner at the hotel and the boys went to bed. We had a suite so the boys slept in the living room on the pull out sofa and Brian and I had our own room with Liam. Tuesday morning we woke up bright and early had breakfast at the hotel and headed to storyland. We got there right when they opened so there were no lines for anything. We headed to the water rides first and the boys went on each water ride a few times in a row. We followed the boys lead and went on the rides they wanted to go on had lunch and when they were ready to go we left. It got really hot by mid afternoon and they were done, so they asked to go back to the hotel to go in the pool. After we got back Daddy took Brady and Cameron to the pool and Mommy stayed in the room with Liam so he could take a nap, he had slept off and on in the carriage and in the ergo but it was so hot that he never really slept good.

Since we had a kitchen we decided to stop at the store and just pick up so things to make dinner. Brian decided to make a broccoli and chiken alfredo. Unfortunately Brian only got butter so he had to cook the chicken in that and it ended up smoking really bad, so what do you think happened? You got it he set off the smoke alarm. the front desk called up and made sure everything was ok and then sent up maintenance to stop the alarm from going off. oh well we all had a good laugh about that.

We finished our week out with a trip to water country on Thursday and the Boston Children's museum on Friday. It was a busy week but we all had fun. This vacation was obviously the most challenging as we had and 8 week old, but we made it through and had a good time and know that it will only get easier from here on out.

Fourth of July

This weekend was my Grandfather's 80th Birthday party and of course the Fourth of July.
My grandfather's Birthday was at Kingston Lake, My uncle took us out on his boat and the boys had a blast.

The fourth of July we spent at home with family in the pool. A fun day had by all.
