Pesach 2012

This Spring...

This spring we have focused on ways of expressing energy... I mean come now, a bottled up 4 year old is lethal. :) The boys are loving the outdoors especially because their ages are that of acceptable to go to the yard without direct supervision. They mostly stay put, and although L. sometimes wonders, it's only ever across the street to the park, and usually its when there are other kids down there. High five, for not getting hit in the street on the way back and forth (maybe, just maybe, looking both ways has stuck!) He's also been busy growing.. (make that stop, please!) However, he's not getting any thicker around!

Little N. has begun to really rattle off words. He's very judicious with his words. You have to really earn the privilege to hear him talk. Though the season of 'Utz' has passed, it's still not full bloom conversation, but he answers questions appropriately so no one is worried!

He's a live wire still, learning to have more and more self-control and tolerance for big brother. His other favorite thing to do is to play in the van, and by play i mean mess up all my buttons! Last Sunday, the boy plugged the microwave cord (yard sale item) into L. bicycle handle. yup.

Today with friends we walked in the woods, stopping to play in the creek. This was a fun and relaxing day. Most days are spent running and going, even to 'play dates' but nothing beats a day home. Lots of digging in the sand in our yard, hanging around on the hammocks and the never fail caterpillar catching! Yes, we are smack dab in the middle of that season... poor caterpillars....

And because I'm a mean mom, and simply can't resist, you must know that in the above picture: L.s hand is enveloping a squished caterpillar. And N. is only wearing a teeshirt. :)

These are my boys! And I love them dearly!

Catterpillar Season

Happy or Mad?

To you, Little One, On your Second Birthday

Happy Birthday Big Boy!

We love you so much! You are such a joy and full of spunk! (Age Two can do that to a fella!) You are precious and so much fun! You really started talking just arount this time, I guess that means there are no more Utz! I love most to hear your excited 'yeah!' it's so cute! You're a smart one two and a great little brother! I'm happy we could provide your request for a Batman birthday! I hope you enjoyed the cake! Brother really had a blast too! We find it really funny that you call him 'Buddy', just like daddy does! And I see your own little personality forming more and more each day! You are unique and very much a blessing in our lives! We love you!

The Difference is in the Art

In approximately 4 minutes this is what the boys had 'painted'.... hmmm, such different personality!

Quite the pair!
