3rd Birthday

Well, we made it three years with the twins. We enjoyed birthday fun at school on their birthday, Novemebr 21st -Friday. Then we celebrated with family and friends on Saturday. Uncle Alex, Julie, Meemaw and Angie all came up from Tampa area for the day. We also had Gainesville friends stop by. Here are some of the pics from the fun:

Halloween 2008

Well, another Halloween has come and gone. We had fun with the Cat in the Hat costume and our two things. Of course, Thing 1 (David) would not touch the wig or wear his red socks or make-up. And thing 2 (Jonathan) would only wear the wig for about two seconds. Oh well, it frustrated me at first becuase I wanted to get cute pictures. But the boys have minds of their own --that's for sure!!!

Happy Fall to everyone!

When ELMO grows Up...

We enjoyed a night out with the boys when we took them to Sesame Street Live Tuesday night. I won the tickets at an Early Learning Coalition meeting. The boys were in awe with the music and lights. They loved it.

October came and is about to be gone....

October has been a busy month for the Greist household. Between soccer practice, soccer games, church on Wednesday nights, board meetings, staff trainings, and so on and so on...we have been busy. We enjoyed two trips to Franklin, North Carolina to see Grandmas and Grandpas. David and Jonathan spent two weeks in Franklin. Their first BIG trip away from home. Nathan had to stay in Gainesville now that he is in Kindergarten. We were able to survive the two weeks without the boys by keeping busy. We cleaned out the garage and house a bit and had a big garage sale. Hank was able to get more paitning done on the outside of the house. This has been our ongoing project:)

Here's some good pictures from the NC visits:

Busy in September

Kindergarten, Soccer and Boys Oh my!

September is flying by. Nathan's schedule with Kindergarten homework and Upward Indoor Soccer is definitely keeping us busy. Of course, two 2 yr-olds also keep us on our toes in the Greist home.

Nathan is on the team called "Chicago Fire".

His first game is Friday, Spetember 19th.

New Haircuts & Muscles

The whole family got haircuts on Saturday August 23rd. David and Jonathan have had long curly locks for awhile now and we finally decided to give them big boys haircuts. (don't be angry Grandma Mary and Grandma Judy--the curls will grow back). After we took baths Saturday night, we took pictures showing off our new haircuts and our muscles.

FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL

Nathan's first day of KINDERGARTEN. He was so excited. He jumped into the truck and told Dad he was ready to go. The problem was it was only 7 AM and he doesn't need to be to school until 7:30...and his school is just 2 minutes around the corner.
