Jack-O-Lantern

When Michael asked Brenton what kind of face he wanted his jack-o-lantern to have, Brenton replied, "A mad face." While the face wasn't really "mad" Brenton still loved it! Although when Michael started to carve the face, Brenton said, "Scary," and ran away (see picture).

Just a Swingin'

Last weekend, we spent the entire Saturday (literally 10 hours) putting up Brenton and Thatcher's new playset that came early for Christmas. Although it was long work, it was worth every minute to see them playing and laughing!

Adventures with Thatcher

Thatcher is 11 months old and on the move! We can hardly keep up with him! From getting into Jack's water bowl to climbing on the dishwasher door to rolling the toilet paper off to eating paper, Thatcher has one "adventure" after another. He is pulling up, starting to walk holding our hands, and climbing on EVERYTHING! He is finally finger feeding himself more, but doesn't really appreciate squishy things. He had his first egg (yoke) last week and ate a few bites, but most ended up in his highchair or in his hair.

Big Boy Bed

A year after ordering the rail for Brenton's bed, he finally climbed out of his crib. We converted it to a toddler bed and ordered new bedding. Brenton loves it and he does really well staying in his bed (most of the time)!

"Be Like Woody"

Brenton's new obsession is cowboys and he is on his way to becoming like Woody (from Toy Story) with boots from Nona and Popa, which he wants to wear ALL the time.

Yep, It's Vaseline!

What more do we need to say?

Destin Vacation

We just returned today from our week long trip to Destin, FL. The weather was perfect and we had a great time. Rather than tell this story with words, how about a few pictures (just a few of the over 400 we took)!
