Fall Fun

Brock continues to get into everything. He is also curious about the littlest things and the largest things. His hair has been growing like crazy. We thought for Halloween, that we would dress up to match his hair. Jenny made his costume to match the one's we already had. Fun times, just watch him close!

October is here!

October is here already. What that means for the Ploeger family is lots of yardwork and preparation for the winter season. Fertilizing the lawn, turning off the sprinklers, staining the deck, and cleaning out the garden and flower beds. There is always something to do around that house. Brock loves to get his little pail and shovel and scoop the dirt...and if daddy is walking in the flowerbed, you better believe that Brock will be walking in the flower bed as well. He watches and copies everything you do. After a long days work in the yard, we wind down by taking a short nap on the couch.

Sunday, September 30th came, which was Brock's first day of Nursery. Happy day for mom and dad. Mom took Brock up to the Nursery and said bye. Brock also said bye in return and wasn't the wiser.

Brock continues to grow and grow, and with that comes more and more interest in everything around him. He now gets into every drawer and cupboard around, throws the contents out and then moves onto the next open drawer or cupboard to play in. After a long day of playing, he nestles down with his blanket to relax. He LOVES his blanket, but we are careful to only give it to him when he wants to go to sleep, so he knows what to expect. The great thing is that when he gets his blanket he goes right to sleep, don't pass go, don't collect 200 dollars.

Jenny is doing well. The doctor says she is definately measuring large, which is expected, due to the size of Brock as a newborn. We are presently starting the design phase of the basement, in hopes of getting a room finished to move the office, prior to the new baby being born. Exciting times in our home!
