SYC picnic

It was the family picnic at the boys' preschool last Wednesday. Fun, but as you can see from Michael, it was REALLY cold!

Don't Stop Believin'

The boys appear to have inherited their mother's fondness for singing in the car. Sorry for the shaky camera at the end, we hit some bumps on the road.

Mother's Day Church Concert

This is Luke's concert in its entirety--all 1 minute and 56 seconds of it. Short and sweet.

Poppy, Nan and George Lucas

Poppy made this Star Wars video. Too funny! Luke as Luke was predictably cute, but who knew Michael would make such a great Lando! Nan makes a pretty hot Princess Leia.

Changeling

Apparently, Justin looks chubby in the 4-week pics I took the other day. Here are some more pictures just to show you that he is only slightly chunky up top and actually has little string bean legs. He is a funny baby though. Maybe it's the blonde hair, but he looks completely different depending on what he's wearing. I've always liked the bolder, darker colors better on my boys, but not Justin. I prefer him in the lighter pastels.

The Nap Came Back

Michael has been mostly napless for several months now, but he's had a rough time of it lately with his double ear infection followed by Fifths Disease. He's so worn out that every day at almost exactly 3pm, he falls asleep wherever he is. Today it was on the floor surrounded by monster trucks.

My two 4s

4 weeks and 4 years. I am so impressed with Luke and his love for Justin. He always wants to be near him and to check on him and to cuddle him. Today he asked me to take a picture of them together. I think Justin is pretty enamoured with his biggest brother, too. If only Luke were that excited about Michael and if only Michael were that excited about Justin.

Friends!

We've been getting lots of visitors because of my moms' group and their awesome Casserole Patrol. I haven't had to worry about dinner at all this week and we are stocked up for the weekend, too. Yesterday, my friend Cheryl came by. Her daughter Daniela couldn't get enough of holding Justin and she did such a good job! Her brother Joseph was pretty interested, too, at least until he caught sight of our three toy lawn mowers!

Monster Trucks!!!

Luke, Michael, Daddy and Poppy went to the monster truck rally on Saturday. They even visited the pit where they got to touch the trucks. Surprisingly, Luke decided he wanted to wait in line and meet the drivers. Here he is with the driver of Tailgator, his favorite monster truck.

Doh-Ray-Mi

Here's Michael feeling happier, being silly with his daddy.

Middle Child

Poor Michael has had a rough time the past few days. We thought he was having some adjustment issues with Justin's arrival. Today he had his three year check-up. He weighs 30lbs and is 36 inches tall--both 30th percentile. He also has ear infections in both ears! And he's cutting his two-year molars. No wonder he's been grumpy. He fell asleep on the way home.

sleeping with sharks

I love the blankets my friend Allanya made for Justin. Somehow, she knew just what would fit in at our house. He has one with sea creatures, one with dogs, one with dinosaurs and this one with sharks, which is Luke's favorite.

Fun with Poppy's iPhone

Happy Birthday Michael!

Michael is three years old today! In his honor is the first "bloggie" post! Matt bought me a new mini digital video camera for my "having a baby" present. I think I've almost got it figured out.

Happy Easter!

Easter Egg Hunt

We went to an Easter Egg Hunt at my friend Allanya's this afternoon. It was Justin's debut to the moms' group. The weather was warm and windy and the kids had a blast.

All the kids lined up and ready to go.
