First day of School (2015-2016 school year)

Maxwell wrote all of his "thank you" notes from his birthday presents

(see the tattoo on his arm?  Britt let him have two.  They are the first temporary tattoos he's ever gotten...  of course has loved them.)

Maxwell's note

Maxwell made himself a birthday card from Brittany...

...inside the card

On the front of each card, he wrote "card" so that it would say Thank You Card

I thought his little guy was pretty cute on this one


Emmalyn loved her hamburger at In-N-Out

Maxwell got a grilled cheese with pickles.  It was a hit.


This happy cheeser just cracks me up

We let the kids take a bubble bath together.  I don't think this has ever happened before.  They were cute together and for the most part had a good time.


Splashing her big brother


I finally got Max to participate in a little birthday interview.  The video is cute but frustrating because he's laying down for most of it and not looking at the camera and then he's moving so much the camera has to keep refocusing...so instead here's his answers.

It's finally here!!!  Time to go back to school!

I asked Maxwell what he wanted to do when he grew up and he said he "wants to work with Kallie in an office".   How cute is that?

He had to add his name


Emmalyn putting her touches on the board too

First pic of the year at school

He walked right in and sat down on the rug.  No problems this year!

Video - Maxwell and I talked about how he could handle getting his shots this year.  We decided he would say "that tickles"

Getting his blood pressure checked like a big kid

Here's his questionnaire:
This questionnaire is for ages 4-6.  You are supposed to keep going until you circle 3 no's.  Maxwell made it through the whole thing and only got 2 no's.  He's going to blow it away for the next 2 years.

Here's Maxwell's Stats:
Weight: 37 lbs (60th percentile)
Height: 37.75 inches (6th percentile)
Blood Pressure: 101/66

After the doctors, I took Maxwell to work (where he told everyone he saw that he had gotten 4 shots).

Maxwell left me a couple of notes on my white board and note pad.  I'm going to have to keep those, I will enjoy looking at them.


He felt good enough when he got home to "play" a little croquet with his sister

She used the play sand rake and baseball as her mallet and ball

Checking out his bandaid collection

Getting 4 shots was just not fun but he's been great!

Video - Maxwell did awesome at getting his 4 shots.  He did say "it tickles" at first but then after the first two shots, it was rough even though two nurses went at the same time.  He didn't cry for the next group of 2 but did whine a little bit.  It only lasted a few seconds and then he moved on.  He did awesome!!!

I went and got my first blow out with no hair cut so that my hair would be done for my trip tomorrow to Chicago for a KraftHeinz meeting.  I sure love when I don't have to do my own hair!
