Sick Lil' Ones

Both boys went through spells of not feeling so hot.  Ethan even became so familiar with the temporal thermometer he started trying to take his temperature himself. 

Oh Christmas Tree, Oh Christmas Tree

Ethan had fun decorating the tree, but even more fun taking off ornaments and lights when Mommy was taking care of Brandon.

Cousins

We went to the park with Cousin Kyle, Taya and Ella for a photo shoot for GG and Bops Christmas present.  It was a beautiful day as were our children.

Visit with Santa

We took the boys to talk to Santa this year.  Luckily both boys were cooperative though we didn't get big smiles out of either of them.  They must have been good little boys this year as they received wonderful gifts from the big guy!

Brandon's First Food

Brandon had his first taste of oatmeal cereal today.  He was somewhat confused by the different texture and taste, but still gave it a try. 

Potty Training

Ethan had been showing signs of potty training readiness for a few weeks now, so Mommy decided to give it a try! After three crazy days Ethan has been doing amazing (even overnight!) We are so proud of him and Mommy is so happy to now only be changing one set of diapers!

Ethan 23 Months & Brandon 5 Months

We had our family photos taken with a local photographer in downtown Claremont the day after Thanksgiving.  We had a great time and we were so happy the boys cooperated!

Brandon's 5 Months

Time is just flying by!  Our little Brandon is already 5 months old!  He's weighing in at 17 pounds 14 oz. and he's 27 inches already.  Pretty soon he will have caught up with his big brother!  He is now rolling over and playing with Ethan who loves to bring him toys.

What do you mean Santa's watching?

The Pilgrim Festival

Every year we head to the Pilgrim festival to support Pilgrim Place.  This year was no exception and we were thrilled Daddy was able to spend a few house with us in the morning there.  We love to walk around and shop for crafts, ride the Mayflower and of course the train.

Homeade Playdough

Mommy was feeling ambitious the other day and decided today was the day Ethan was going to try playdough.  She started to measure out the ingredients and discovered we had no table salt.  Luckily our whole family loves soft pretzels so we had to do a little substituting with pretzel salt.  The dough turned out great and Ethan had fun.  Ginger on the other hand, just thought it tasted good...
