The Land....

....of sky blue water.  A perfect day to launch the boat!

The Bear

Noah....you have officially overtaken the bear and you are no longer hesitant to have your picture taken with this guy.  We will have to get the montage of pics from the last four years together to see your progression.  It may be time for Jacob to join in the fun and games later this summer. 

Hi....

I am Paul Bunyan.....

And they are off....

...to MN.

Nebulizer

It was a long three weeks of illness for Jacob.  He's now officially back to 100%. We went through multiple anti-biotics, steroids,  and the nebulizer.

Mother's Day

The Mother's Day photo booth was operational again this year at church.  Lori got some pictures with both the boys and Noah got his own set of photos with his buddy, Noah. In the afternoon, we went over to Grandpa and Grandma Reeder's house and stayed for a wonderful dinner.  

 

Barbarians at the Gate

The baby gate made it all the way to it's third birthday but came down last week.  It went up in May 2011  and survived a relentless pounding. Jacob is now free to roam about as he pleases.  Noah is quite indifferent about not having it around anymore.  As for mommy and daddy, we are left to invoke the words of Martin Luther King, Jr. (Free at last, free at last.....thank God almighty, free at last).  While nowhere near contextually accurate, you get the picture.  For the record......yes, he did tear it down!!!

Let the Light Shine In

Memo #2 of this project for Noah and Jacob.  Yes, you can do this.  There are always obstacles to something like this but nothing that you can't overcome.  Just a little carpentry, construction and masonry work, all valuable skills.  Now....remember in our last post that we said to always use caution and that there may be a live wire hiding behind this wall?  Yes, the same wall that has no outlets or switches.  Sure enough, there was one hiding there (expect the unexpected); however, we didn't have to disturb it. Our house finally has a fully functional office that no longer feels like being in solitary confinement.

 

Where's Jacob?

He seems to have found a new favorite hiding place.

PB&J

Who knew that PB&J could be this good?

Family Picture @ Easter

 

Still very much a hit or miss proposition but improving.
