Life

Our blog posts have been few and far between but its not for lack of stuff going on. Quite the contrary actually. Life has been, well, just that...life. The past 2 months have been hectic to say the least. Nana had surgery, Mommy's grandmother passed away, the whole family got sick multiple times (first with bad colds and then with the dreaded stomach bug), Daddy threw his back out, Papa had serious heart issues and had a stent put in, Mommy and Daddy took a mini 4 day vacation to Las Vegas with our friends from Chicago, and Uncle Dave flew home from Dubai for a week. Not to mention that every day life with 14 month old twin boys and a 4 year old big brother is crazy enough by itself. As nutso as our life is though, we wouldn't trade it for anything. We are blessed to have such a wild and crazy life because thats what makes it memorable and I know that someday I will look back and wish with everything that I am that I had this time back!

Teeny Tiny Spaces

So Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum like to put themselves in the smallest spaces imaginable. The tighter the space, the more enjoyment!

The pots and pans cabinet. They take all the pans out and crawl in. After they entertain themselves in there for a bit, they carry the pots all over the house, banging them on the floor and walls!
Ooh a shiny light!
What?!?! He's a human pretzel!
What is this, you ask? Notice the floor register in Henry's hand? Yep, they removed the register and slid right in!
Big Brother Jack is always there to squeeze right in!

Along for the Ride

Although this video was taken 2 months ago, it perfectly shows how much Will and Henry love their big brother and he definitely returns the feeling.

What's For Dinner??

Can you guess??
Spaghetti of course! To stay in character, Will smashed it all over his face and got approximately 10% of it in his mouth while Henry meticulously picked up one noodle at a time.

Best Friends

The twins seriously love to play with each other. How lucky are they that they have a permanent playmate??

Its Astrophysics in Our Book!

It is so amazing to see Jack learn and grow every day. He went from being able to write his name a few weeks ago to now spelling words such as giant and jaguar and writing every letter of the alphabet. He is thirsty for knowledge, always asking questions, and wanting to know more and more. It is truly incredible to watch him sitting by himself, working on his spelling and sounding out words. With 2 self-proclaimed dorks as parents, the kid is pretty much doomed ;)

Today we played with sidewalk chalk in the garage and he insisted on writing out the alphabet. He ran out of space so he put letters wherever he could. (Daddy thinks this picture looks like a crime scene and should have yellow tape at the top.)

What? Where Do You Eat Your Snack?
