Dave - busy as ever. working at Children's hospital full time. recently treated a friend of the family (who fell out of the second story window). It was a good experience b/c it reminded him of how important it is to give special care to families/loved ones who have so many fears and questions that are all too often unanswered. Also reminded me to be proud of the good he is doing when he is away from home. one night when he was gone late my friend (the grandma of the kid who fell out of the window) called to thank me for dave's good work. It was a kind gesture on her part.
Calvin - still having some interesting sleep issues. This week one day he took a nap at 7am (who knows what time he had gotten up if he needed a nap at 7am?) and one day he went to bed at 5pm and slept 'til 6am. probably the best night of sleep in ages. He is a really good boy about staying in his room and playing quietly until 6am when he is allowed to get up. loves star wars, books, his friends and eating breakfast with dave in the morning.
Clare - loves her preschool and dance class and singing class. petite. great at coloring in the lines. sleeps with the lights on. very excited to have michigan cupcakes for her birthday. She has requested blue cupcakes with a yellow "michigan M" on them. Her b-day is NOV 21st the day of the mich - ohio state game.
Alexey - 18 months. discovered herself in the mirror. busy. crazy. daily tantrums, pulling hair, and hitting. learning new words everyday. no longer the easiest child (there is no easiest child..... maybe dave is the easiest child now).
Tressel - HUGE. STRONG. part of the family. still learning how to be a good dog. tall enough to eat off of the table without even reaching.
Ben - dave's youngest bro. 20 years old. moved in about a month ago. hoping to get a job. keeps his room clean and takes out the trash on trash day :)

I'm freaking out at the thought of a child falling out of a 2-story window!
Haven't checked anyone's blog most of the summer, got totally confused when I saw the name "Tressel." Oh my gosh, was Denise pregnant with her 4th?? And she had the baby?? Then I remembered, the dog.
You have quite the busy life. I don't know how you do it! Pete can't wait to see Alexey, because he's still convinced that even though she's crazy now... she'll still love him the most! We'll see about that. :)
I think Ben sounds like a good new addition. Cleaning his room at 20! That is great.
How awful to fall out the window. I hope they are ok.
one full house!
ps
did you know that jim tressel lives on McCoy, right by that oxford park!?! I think we may have to trick or treat on that side of town this year!
that part about the cupcakes is hilarious. sounds like you have a very busy house! Thanks for the update!
Kevin sent Layne to time last weekend when she cheered for Michigan! Maybe you could try that!?!
