Our Laughter

So on Saturday Charlie and Kade decided to try their hand at engineering. Instead of making detailed plans and blue prints, building models and testing weight limits, getting the right building permits – they just built it!

As you can see there are of course limits to this bridge.

1) wieght

2) weather

I was trying to capture a smile with our camera. This is pretty close.

Charlie has some one-on-one time with his sister before Kade got up from his nap. It was sweet to hear him talk to her :) Whenever she’s cooing, the boys always ask me what she’s saying. I always tell them she’s saying [...]

It’s official. I bought the “No-Bite” fingernail polish to help wean Kade from thumb sucking. It was an instant success. And, Kade was VERY good humored about it! He would stick the tip of his thumb in his mouth, get a huge grin on his face, and say “Bleck! Yuck! Bleck!” The best part was [...]
