Let's read a book!

I captured this precious moment this morning before church. It speaks for itself.

Happy birthday, Brian!

We celebrated Brian's birthday on Friday night at Taki. Sam & Avery loved all the chef's tricks but Brice was scared. As soon as the chef lit the fire, Brice started crying and tried to unbuckled his highchair. He kept looking at me as if to say, "This is nuts! Let's get the hell out of here!" Needless to say, we stayed and had a great time.

The birthday crew...Papa, Sam, Brian, Brice, G-mama, Avery, Grammy & Beth

Mystery solved!

Some of you may recall that we lost one of Brice's favorite blankets, Rubbie, a few months ago. He wasn't fazed by it but I was! I turned the house upside-down looking for that thing - only for sentimental reasons. Rubbie later showed up inside an old baby wipes container (in Sam's closet) that had been used for Sam's action figure collection, until the collection outgrew the container. I was the one to discover it but Brian and the boys were right there when I found it and gasped. I quickly hid it from view and tucked Rubbie away for safe keeping. No sense in having him reattach to it when he already had one that he was/is VERY attached to..."BB". Yes, both boys have special blankets named BB. Anyway, I've always been curious as to who, Sam or Brice, actually stashed Rubbie away. But, as the pictures above indicate (taken just last week when I caught Brice "hiding" BB)...it was Brice all along! No wonder he wasn't frantic....he knew right where it was the whole time!

Brice the comedian

Sam has been away all weekend so we've enjoyed some one-on-one time with Brice. He is so funny! And, he's "talking" up a storm. Any day now he's going to really let loose on us!
