When you're one year old...

You go to see Dr. Slade for your one-year check up and you WALK to the scale. Brice weighed in at 22 pounds and is 30 inches tall. He stopped to check out all the nurses as he made his way down the hall. He cried pretty good over three shots and threw his BB at the nurse that administered them!

a good man

My husband, also now my co-worker, is having a bad day.
I'm being quietly supportive.
Unless he needs to me to hike up in the back of the box truck in a dress to spray WD-40 into some big piece of equipment...which I did! I'm sure it was quite a site.
His efforts are noble, but not working.
The earliest the truck can get into the shop is Friday.
Not so good for business.
Even so...he just called to tell me he loves me.
God, thank you for this good man!

The very best daddy of all...

We've had a great Father's Day morning. Relaxing with the boys, eating breakfast & drinking coffee. Sam & Brice gave their daddy a few simple gifts so here are some pictures. And, while I'm at it, let me just say that I know there are lots of great daddies out there (mine for one!) but we are VERY lucky to have ours! Brian, you rock!

Funny Faces

Caden & Angie dropped by today to give the new swing set a spin. Turned out to be a short playdate because of the rain. Although, they still played - just in the rain! Afterwards we put them in dry clothes and I took a few pictures of the best friends. The funny faces turned out, well, pretty funny!

Our new swing set!

Sam & Brice LOVE their new swing set. They both love to go high! So far, every morning, Sam has had to run down there to get in at least one slide or swing before we head off to school. It makes me so happy to see them enjoy the outdoors and each other. In the second picture I love how Brice is throwing his hands in ther air.

Catching up

It's been a very busy past two weeks. Now that swimming lessons are coming to an end, things should calm down a bit. I'll post more about all that later but for now here's a look back... From top to bottom...2008-2005

Paci aggression?

I'm no child psychologist but....I think Brice was a little frustrated at bedtime. What do you think? Thank God he didn't swallow any and he's sleeping, actually snoring, sweetly in his bed.  What's ironic is that he's not even attached to the paci.  They're mainly there for entertainment since he usually throws them across the room!
