Play Time

I don't know whether to feel proud or extremely disappointed.  Dan's coworker loaned us the complete set of Baby Einstein DVDs and the boys paid no attention to them.  That is Brad sitting in the chair reading a book.  So I guess that's Hello to at least several more months of a disheveled house.
Seth knows what the camera is and comes over insisting to have his picture taken.
I had to return some fabric swatches to Gardner Village (ordering a couch has taken some major time and thought) so I tried to make it worth the trip for the boys.  Here is Seth enjoying his "honey boy" cookie.
That is a duck on the left that came up and talked to the boys.  They loved it.

Just Like Daddy

Wearing Daddy's soccer jerseys they found in the closet.  What a sweet boy Seth is!

My handsome boys.  This is before we went to the blessing of our new cousin Ellie.

This video clip was sent by my brother as a tribute to Dan because in his words "wearing your cell phone on your belt is the fanny pack of our generation"

Cleaning House

These boys are obviously their father's child.  How many other 18 month olds do laundry?


The newest craze at our house is throwing things away.  They fight each other over who gets to throw away their dirty diapers.

Outdoor Fun

Brad on his truck
The boys obsession with sweeping is not limited to our kitchen, they also tried to clean the driveway.

I didn't realize that we lived under such busy airspace until the boys started pointing it out.
Whoa!! Airplane!
While Dan and the boys played outside this is how I spent my afternoon, painting the front room.  It's a very dramatic change and bold but we think we like it we just need furniture.  We're open to any ideas.

Thanksgiving

We enjoyed Thanksgiving dinner with Dan's parents, grandma, and sister Robby's family.  Here is the "grandkids table".  The meal was excellent and the best part was that I didn't have to do anything, Dan made our assignment of stuffed mushrooms.

Basement Update

Dan took the boys downstairs the other day and they loved turning the lights on and off.  This is the main room, just as you enter from the stairs.  It's all painted and the cabinets will be installed this Wed then carpet the following week, yea!!

The boys giving each other a hug in their future bedroom.
This is currently my favorite part of the basement, the storage room.
