Just Another Day…

  • Some New Photos

    I’m still amazes at how fast time is flying by, and how little time I have these days. Between the boys being more and more “mobile” and pushing the boundaries, and Sydney needing more then just a bottle and diaper change, it just seems like the walls are closing in sometimes.

    Proof of that? I’ve been working on a video for Sydney since she was born in November but have not made much progress, I more or less stopped doing blog posts, and I keep saying I’m going to take more photos of the kids yet weeks go by without me getting the camera out (there’s either no time or I’m too exhausted when there is the time).

    So I finally forced the issue of at least taking photos a few weekends ago and we took the kids into the basement to play and take some updated photos. We still need to take some nice family photos, but now that the weather is getting better maybe that will be possible.

  • ABC… As Easy as 1,2,3

    Andrew seems to have developed a love for letters and numbers. One of his favorite past times right now is telling you what letters and numbers he sees. Even when we were out to breakfast this past weekend he started blurting out letters, and then we realized it was the sign that said “Restrooms” that he was reading.

    Here is a short little video of him demonstrating his new found skills. Given he’s only 25 months old, it’s pretty amazing. As for Max, he’s doing well too but a little more shy about letting on what he knows.

  • Some Weekend Photos

    Brenda had a “day with the girls” on Saturday, so I had a “day with the little men”. We went to the mall, spent way too long at the Apple Store trying to get an issue with my laptop resolved, and then went to Whole Foods. They were a lot of fun and kept me laughing all day. The photos were taken with my iPhone throughout the day.

  • Good Times at the Pumpkin Patch

    This past Saturday we didn’t know what to do with the boys. The weather wasn’t bad, but it wasn’t great. We had spent the previous weekend at the mall since the weather was so nasty, but didn’t feel like being indoors again.

    So while we were all at breakfast (our Saturday tradition now after they go to My Gym) I did a goole search for “Puppy Petting Zoo” on my phone. I had visions of the boys rolling around in a pile of puppies while laughing and playing. While I didn’t find any puppy petting places, I did find a farm nearby called Johansen Farms that had plenty of child activities year round. So off we went!

    Because of Brenda’s condition we were not able to do a lot with the boys (it really does take the two of us when they’re not strapped down), but I’m sure next summer they’ll be able to enjoy it a lot more. There were hay rides, train rides, pony rides, a Jumpin Playroom, and animals of all kinds that you could pet.
