I"m pretty sure I might sound like this all day....

he's growing up..

What can I say? I love the guy! He reminds me so much of his dad. The other day they were playing "duck, duck, goose..", and all of a sudden jack say, "duck, duck, duck, california." So random and silly... just like his dad! He was letting me try out a few shots on his today. He's so good to pose for me if i need to test something. And these three describe him perfectly... happy jack, can we get this over with jack, and silly jack............

*while sitting here writing this I heard what sounded like "loads of fun".... so I got up to investigate.... and there were "loads of crackers" all over the floor.... cheese it's and wheat thins to be exact, which reminds me that I need to do a post about the ketchup... another food incident.*

There's no place like Greatest's

and this is why! These photos are priceless to me. Not only did she have a great time, but she got to spend time with 2 of the most wonderful people on earth... and for that, we're all jealous. If you can't tell... Greatest had fun! And Charlie had no trouble participating.

It makes my heart so glad to know that you (charlie) have an abundance of love around you. From your mom and dad, to the best brothers, to grandparents and great grandparents. The love is not lacking.....

I can't help smile and laugh at these photos!!!! And when we came to pick her up, well, she was receiving her first piano lesson by none other than greatest, and mozart.

cutie patootie!!

2 months! Can't believe it.

perfect weather = a little time outside!!!

We all have a little bit of... of what do they call it... CABIN FEVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We went from going to the pool EVERY day in the summer, to the park in the fall... to stuck in side in the winter. Pretty hard for a 2,3, and 4 yr. old to do! So we took advantage fo the nice weather the other day! Matt was SUPER happy to be riding his scooter... the same one "Olivia" on TV has. Jack thinks he's PRETTY AWESOME because he can stand up and ride, and even ride with no hands for about 3 secs! (funny side note about that... well, we don't ride bikes with other kids, so it's not like he's seen other kids riding their bikes with no hands. It amazes me how natural some things are, and how cool we feel after!) And nate, well, nate is still a little scaredof the madness that circles around him while he's out there, so he prefers the wagon. Much safer!!!

Linus lives here.
