More pics from the Play Museum!

Our fun trip to the Strong Play Museum in Rochester!

Luke is scoot-crawling!

Luke is definitely on the move! He isn't quite crawling, but it's a little more than scooting. He gets up on all fours and sort of launches himself foward... it's a little wierd, but it works. He made it all the way across the room tonight to help Jack and Papa build a Leggo tower.

We had a warm front today.... in the upper 30's.... so we took advantage of the balmy weather and headed out for a stroll. Jack hasn't quite mastered the art of pedaling, but we're working on it. Good thing Grammy was there to push him along :o)

Potty Time

Ahhhhh..... two year olds are just too funny sometimes :o) Jack went into the bathroom tonight and brought me his potty. I was sitting at the kitchen table feeding Luke and he marches right up with this thing and yells "POTTY!!" He then proceeds to take the potty in to show Papa how he can sit on it. He just kept yelling "POTTY". I refuse to believe that he is ready to start potty training.... but at least this is a start.... a funny start :o)

Underway....

Michael left this morning for his government vacation :o) Now that we are underway.... I am going to be updating the blog every day....yes, every day! I imagine it will be filled with details that seem meaningless, but I hope it will keep Michael feeling closer to what's going on here. Day one, almost done.... only 365 to go. I am more thankful now than ever for the wonderful, supportive, and loving people in our lives.

Happy Birthday (Again) Jack!!!

We celebrated Jack's big day once again.... but this time was with Daddy! We had a special dinner of Morrocan chicken with sweet potatoes and cous-cous. Grammy set up a table in the living room right in front of the fireplace. It was wonderful! We played ring-around-the-rosey and had fun with balloons! Jack had the best little time! He especially loved his football cake!

Red, White and Blue (Times Two!)

This is my absolute favorite picture of Jack! I couldn't wait for Luke to turn 6 months so we could try to take the same pic of him. I love it!! Jack always was a chubbier baby, but I can see the resemblance now more than ever.

(This is a picture of a picutre... so it's not the clearest.)
