the monkey, hot chip and atmosphere
So nearly ever morning I hear Lance and Myla dancing and singing. They listen to Hot Chip or Atmosphere's song "you don't know". Myla loves singing and dancing to both songs-and we love wathcing her. Also the monkey mask was from Halloween-Myla loves to have us wear it.

Best Friends
Myla and Van are already the best of friends. Myla loves to talk to Van and just recently Van talks back. Van smiles every single time Myla comes to see him. I am excited to watch them grow up as brother and sissy. Enjoy the video!!

Thanksgiving 2008
For the first time ever We had Thanksgiving here in Duluth at the Voelker household!! Everything went just perfect; good food, fun games and family.
Lance's parents were up for a visit during the first part of this week. They stayed at the waterpark and of course a good time was had by us all-but espically by Myla. Myla loves to go down some slides, getting splashed by the big bucket of water and being in the Vortex with Mom and Dad. Lance loves the big waterslides and had to force me to go down 1 with him. It was a nice visit with the Voelker grandparents.
My Mom and Dad came up to join our family plus My sister and Brother-in-law for Gobble Gobble day ( that is what Myla was calling it). We ended the evening with a fun time at the hotel pool and even saw a boat go through the canal. Now today a little bit of shopping for the girls and work of course for Lance.

Van 7 weeks old and a crazy 2 yr old
Life is general good here at the Voelker household. Van is getting big now. He sleeps better at night, cooing at us and starting to show an interest in toys. His casting process is going really well. Van will get his 6th cast Tuesday morning. As it looks he will need 2 more cast after tomorrow and then will have a small procedure preformed in his Achilles heel. After that he will then be wearing some feet braces. We are very optimistic and know that things will turn out just fine.
As for Myla, well she is in her "trying 2's". She can be the best little girl and then easily turns into devil Myla. She through her first big tantrum on Saturday morning. It lasted 1 hour because I asked her to pick up her Legos before she got her Milk. Myla screamed and cried, begged for her milk and was rolling around on the floor. Finally she stopped, picked up her legos, I gave her the milk and things were just fine. I won the battle for now.

Van Haven Voelker 6 1/2 weeks old
Halloween cities style
We took our first road trip with Van for the Halloween weekend. Van did great in the car-we stocked him up with milk and he sleeps the whole way. So we spent Halloween evening at my parent's house. Myla was a butterfly and Van a pumpkin. And Lance a choir boy from Winona senior high!
Myla had fun trick or treating. But she had more fun passing out candy to all the kids at my parent's house. The kids would come up and say "trick or treat" and Myla would give them a piece of candy and say "trick or treat" back to the kids.

Boo at the Zoo
Last Saturday Myla and I joined Michaela and Connor at Boo at the Zoo. The kids got a chance to trick or treat, look at animals and show off there costumes. Myla was a butterfly and Connor a front end loader. We also ran into the kid's friend Zoey who was Cinderella. We all had a great time. For me it is so fun to see Myla enjoying Halloween and really experiencing things for the first time.

Some new pictures of Van and Myla. Everyone is doing really well-Van has already gained 1/2 lb and goes to get his new casts on Tuesday. Van does not seem at all bothered by the cast-which is good comfort to Lance and I. Mylais adjusting well to all the changes-thanks to special Daddy time and playdates with friends.

1 day of school
Myla and I started our ECFE class yesterday. We are back at the same school we were last year, Rockridge and have some of our great teachers again. This will be a weekly event for us on Thursdays, even when our new one arrives. Myla is definitely more comfortable and confident in class this year, which should make for some fun adventures for the both of us.
