Been a While...

Busy till the bitter end.

Much more mobile now. Everyone in the house is terrified when he starts wrestling (biting).

Unfortunately, everything he works on is typically untouchable for days.

Uncle Dete strikes again.

Fun at a new park.

Sally Up...

Sally Down.

Had a blast with Grandma and Papa Ross (in January).

Tells you most of what you need to know about Luke.

When we say our kids are animals, it's not a figure of speech.

Luke considers his gash a minor flesh wound. Hasn't slowed him down in the slightest.

Proud...

but these things keep me up at night.

Loves her pockets.

Getting big enough to play on the Chick-Fil-A play area.

Celebration for consistently staying in his room all night.

The athletic battles begin.

A motley crew.

Being the teacher.

If you're wondering, of course they're like this all the time.

Jason taking his guard duties very seriously.

The kids love the zip line at the park.

Classic Rose. I hear the Goldfish bag and find her in the hollowed out tree trunk at the park.

Rosie's treat for staying in her room.

Always asking to have his picture taken.

One of our new things is to have "class" before we go to bed every night. Everyone comes up with their own names each night. Mr. Blue Pants clearly takes his job seriously but is quick to forgive. Seems a little casual about death, though.

Our other teacher wasn't quite as patient and got exasperated pretty quickly.

We've gone through a lot of "Pop Goes the Weasel" spinoffs over the last couple days.

Couldn't help but think Papa Ross would buy this if Jack Nicklaus endorsed it as exercise equipment.

Just picked this up recently and is loving it.

Has started to dance and walk backwards quite a bit. Thinks he's pretty funny.

Nothing like coming home to get shot by your 1 year old.

Not a care in the world.

Lauren taught this and acted it out with the kids the previous night. They loved it.
