Wagons East, West...Wherever
















Grandma and Grandpa left the boys with a mighty fine gift last long weekend: their first-ever wagon, and the timing couldn't have been more perfect, with Carter having recently become quite taken with the model available at Shelly's drop-in. After some challenging assembly it came together and sure is a beaut. We took it for a stroll when the boys awoke from their Saturday morning nap and judging from their reactions, I doubt we'll ever be able to get them into the stroller again...

Book Club!

Their Mom and Dad are hopeless bookworms--so it comes as no surprise that Carter and Nathaniel love to flip through a variety of tomes. Who says print is dead? One day the boys will be getting their homework on an iPad I'm sure, but until then, here's to ink-stained hands and chewing paper!









Carter's First Official "Boo Boo"

Not quite on the scale of walking and talking, but today marked a breakthrough of sorts for the parents of any rambunctious youngster: Carter's energetic roaming+new shorts+concrete=his first-ever scraped knee.


According to Karen, he didn't even notice and kept right on playing, which was a relief to hear, because with a house full of boys there are no doubt countless more of these in our future, and it's not even summer!

Private Playground











The park to themselves? Now that's just encouraging them...
