Blog Update

We are excited you are checking out the Perry Twins blog again. We apologize for the delay in getting updated information posted. But we believe we are back up and running with regular monthly updates. We will continue to update the photo album as pictures are taken. Please check back regularly to see what antics Evan and Nolette have been up to.

August 2006 (2 Years 5 Months)

August has been another month of many firsts…

• We thought Nolette may be ready to potty train as she decided to sit on the toilet several times and poop. But this was apparently just a quick lived phase as the next week she wanted NOTHING to do with the toilet.
• Evan and Nolette have started recognizing people’s voices on the phone and having real conversations with them. Now if only the person on the other end of the phone could understand what the kids were saying.
• Great Grandpa Hoover (Opa’s Daddy) came to visit from Evansville, IN. He was surprised how far in the “country” we actually lived. But we believe he was more impressed with Evan & Nolette’s microwaveable french fries.
• We went to our first baseball game with Oma, Opa, and Great Grandpa Hoover, the Fisher Cats vs. the Mets. Go Fisher Cats!
• Oma and Mommy took Evan and Nolette to the Children’s Museum in Boston. We are not sure if they enjoyed playing with all the toys or people watching more.

July 2006 (2 Years 4 Months)
We have been enjoying the summer. We celebrated the fourth of July with the Witt family. We visited with the Freund Family in Vermont. Mommy and Daddy asked, “where oh where have the years gone?” because the kids out numbered the adults (7 kids under age 5 and only 6 adults). Be sure to check out the photos. But we are happy to report we all survived. We also spent a week at “Camp Hoover”, Oma & Opa’s House. (Check out our handmade T-shirts.) The preschool requires posting of vacations early in the season so Mom allowed us to skip school for a whole week, but Mommy & Daddy had to work.

June 2006 (2 Years 3 Months)
Yeah, Daddy’s work schedule has started to normalize and we are able to spend more time with him. We are getting more and more active, and have more and more energy to use up each day. Mommy has been trying to find new things for us to do and go. This month we rode the Merry Go Round at the Mall – “ Getty up horsey”. We also learned to play games at Chucky Cheese – we love people watching and eating pizza more than the games.

May 2006 (2 Years 2 Months)

“Swimming is fun!” or at least that is what Oma keeps telling us. And luckily with summer in full swing, we are going to the pool or Greenfield Lake a couple times a week. Evan is more interested in playing on the side of the pool or in the sand and watching all of the people, but Nolette is a little fish. We are spending a lot of time at the park. We love playing outside! And Mom and Dad love it also because it makes us tired and ready for bed.

April 2006 (2 Years 1 Month)
Spring is in the air! We are looking forward to the nice weather and being able to spend more time outside. We had a lot of fun preparing for the Easter Bunny; we dyed Easter eggs and helped make the Hoover Easter Bunny Cake. Now it is time to go find those eggs. Cold Stone is finally OPEN!!!! Grammy’s, Grampy’s & Daddy’s ice cream store finally opened. Good thing is that we get LOTS of ice cream, but unfortunately we do not get to spend a lot of time with Daddy. Kristen, one of our school teachers, has been helping Mommy and Daddy out by babysitting us on Saturdays.

March 2006 (2 Years Old)
Happy Birthday to Us, Happy Birthday to Us, Happy Birthday to Us! Happy Birthday to Us! We hope Mommy and Daddy are ready for the terrible twos times two!!! Really all it means to us is we have an excuse to cause trouble and to be bad. Watch Out, here we come.
