Something Fierce

I love these little rascals...somthing fierce. And I can scarcley believe this little man is turning 3 next month:

Been working away on this...can't believe this little man is turning 3!

A Cheap Thrill

During the few hours a day that Luke is actually awake, his favorite activities (other than eating and making messes in his diapers) are staring intently at the paper plate mobiles I make for him with simple black and white graphics and simply laying on the floor -- he is a chill kid so far.



{ooohhhh...}

{aaahhhh...}

Luke is SUCH a good baby I have taken to calling him Dream Baby.  He has slipped right into our lives and our hearts as if he has been here all along.  Almost 4 weeks old! 

These two..

...can drive me nuts bickering most of the day, reveling in all their differences, and just generally rubbing each other the wrong way.

But.

{pardon the crappy cell phone picture, but I was in a hurry to capture this scene before it evaporated before my eyes}

It turns out, they can work together beautifully, as they did for nearly two hours today constructing this "lego city" and proudly showing off the results to me.

Good to know.

Dirtbikes are still all the rage.

Bryan took the boys to a real live Motocross race the other day at Thunder Valley just west of us. They loved it, of course. All three are still working hard to earn money for their own dirtbikes, including doing their Summer school work each week. It's kinda like bribery...or maybe it exactly is bribery. I call it a win/win either way.

Warren is 8!

{Inside the game truck} {Everyone jammed into our cozy house} {The happy boy after blowing out his candle!} There was a game truck and LOTS of friends, good food, and a mountain of presents for our special little/big 8 year old boy!

Sleeping Baby...

...wakes up! I am going to try to get this blog up and going again. It is very hard and low on the priority list right now with breastfeeding, baseball, and summer homeschooling...not to mention the usual daily grind of dishes, laundry, and food. So expect a lot of straight out of the camera pictures like these (from a mini photo shoot I did to capture itty baby pieces of Luke) and even less articulate writing than ever before (not that that is saying much!). Next up...Warren's birthday party, which was on June 1st.

Welcome, little man! And don't go growing up too fast.
