Settling In

We have been in Massachusetts for just over 3 weeks now. Our home is all unpacked and we can finally relax.

Alex and Jonathan are so sweet. Alex loves giving his little brother his bottle. Little Jonathan is so smart. When he sees that I am putting his bottle together he runs into his room and climbs up onto the rocking chair. He is always so proud of himself.


Just the other day Jonathan walked into the bathroom in the boys room and tried to climb on the toilet. So I stripped him to see what would happen. A couple of grunts later we were clapping for his poopoos. Of course, it hasn't happened again but it sure will be nice when he is trained.

Last weekend we took the boys bowling. They had a candlepin bowling center rather then regular bowling. Alex loved it, since the balls were so much smaller. Jonathan helped his daddy a little but for the most part we played in the arcade while Adam and Alex bowled.



We have been getting outside a lot. We want to enjoy the weather before we lock ourselves up for 4 months. The only issue is that I am extremely attractive to the mosquitoes. I basically look like I have the chicken pox all the time. Calamine lotion is going out of style at our place.


Here are some of Alex's new PJs. I got them for the winter but we wanted to wear them now. At night I have to go in his room and uncover him or we wakes up very sweaty and uncomfortable.

August 12th

Now I can start working on what is happening right now.

On August 1st we moved into our new apartment in Wilmington, Massachusetts. We are getting settled in and really like our new place. Alex and Jonathan are sharing a room. This makes for some very interesting bedtimes; when both boys are awake and all we hear is giggling. We have so much square footage it is hard to believe. Yet, somehow we have filled it up very well. Our office is two walls of books and two more walls of boxes that we are storing.

Jonathan:

Our 13 month old is running all over the place. He has some new words: bubble, all done.




Alex:

Alex just turned 3 on July 25th. We can't believe he is growing up so fast. He is really into golf, bowling, reading and his most favorite Bill Nye the Science Guy.



Kim is happy since we got some new furniture. Now we have a huge king sized bed. Our apartment may be big but this thing takes up over half the room.



There is a great pool at the complex. Although we usually end up in the spa since we are all kind of weary of cold water.



We haven't met many neighbors yet. We have seen some kids hanging around but the timing has always been bad to go meet them. Our neighbor below us did bring us cookies, which as you can see Jonathan loved. ( I think she was bribing us to keep the boys from jumping on her ceiling)



We miss all of our friends. Sadly, there are no plans to visit California until next summer perhaps. Adam starts to go into work on Monday next week. He needs to get ready for the two classes he is teaching. Kim and the kiddies are going to start going to two different playgroups. Hopefully, we can meet some other kids fast. Kim is also starting to work for her brother in law, Joe, as well as, quilt more and is looking into babysitting a friends 1 year old a few times a week. All of us are keeping very busy.

Here is a video of Jonathan being cute:

July updates

Ok here is a quick look at what July looked like for the Glesser fam.


Alex went to the golf club for the first time. He got to learn to putt on a real green.


Then he got a extra pail of balls at the range and spent about 2 hours driving away.

Tiger Woods? We got him beat.


Kim got to go to Boston for 3 days all by herself to find our new place. Her parents met her there and helped tremendously in the decision process. (and also helped check out the city on the very touristy Duck Tour)


Kim and her mom on the swan boats in the Boston Common.


Wheres Jonathan?



We had the boys party on July 12th. Adam even helped decorate the cakes.


The final products looked very cool and were very yummy!



Here is the birthday boy!



The turn out was great. We were so happy to see all of our closest family and friends.



We made it into a pool party for the little ones.


Jonathan tried to grab at his candles. Just like every other baby turning 1.



Jonathan was about to fall asleep by the time we got to cake but of course he still enjoyed.





Alex loved his trick candles. His favorite pastime is to blow candles and matches out over and over.



Yummy!



Here is one of the rare shots of our trip up to Oregon. We drove with Grandma Janice in two days to visit Great-Grandpa Koch and lots of extended cousins.



On our way home we stopped at a Round Table and got to be kings.



Then came moving time. All the boxes were very fun to play in.



On July 31st we moved to Boston. We will really miss everyone out in California. We also miss the weather.

Worst Blogger Ever

Ok so I was not made to be a blogger. But now that we have moved and everything is getting back to normal I am going to make an attempt to keep everyone up to date. Here are some June pics.

Jonathan at Chuckie Cheese.


Alex and Cousin Konrad at the San Diego Fair.









Our trip to see Aunt Michelle, Uncle Joe, and Cousin Kevin and Zach in Colorado.











I know that this is just a quick show of what we did in June...next up July.
