October is SIDS Awareness Month

Even though October is almost over, it is/was SIDS awareness month. I tried very hard to have both of my children sleep on their backs as infants, and I am so happy that Connor is past that stage (he's almost 4). Although I did read that they are still suceptible to SIDS until they are 5!! Fiona now just flops and turns and sleeps however she wants. It is getting colder here , and I'm starting to worry about her being cold at night, especially since she doesnt really use a sleep sack (like most of the kids do here). But maybe the Merino one they are giving away on the Baby Sleep Site would work for her? Check out this link to information on SIDS awareness month...

Happy Sleeping!

Visit from Grandma Deidi

Photo of 'Lady Writing a Letter with Her Maid' (Vermeer) taken from http://www.glyphs.com/art/vermeer/pics.htm

We were lucky enough to have Grandma Deidi visit us this past while while Daddy has been away. David is away for another week... but it was great to have another set of hands and eyes for this week! The kids had so much fun. We really just stuck mostly to our normal routine...
Here is Connor at 'Playball'... the picture is through the glass of the squash court, so didn't come out so great... but you get the idea...
Here is Mommy posing at the Vermeer Center in delft... you can put yourself into the painting... Grandma and Mommy had lunch and a little time without the kids (thanks to the babysitter).
Connor at swimming lessons...
Fiona at Little Gym
The kids! So sweet!
