Where's Philip?

It has become an almost daily tradition in our house for the boys to hide when they hear daddy coming home, and this day was no exception. Philip was copying Levin, who had hidden himself fully- in a larger box, of course.

Happy Thanksgiving

What did you say?

As we were driving in the car yesterday, I heard Levin say to Philip, "I have no clue what you're saying". Hmm....not sure where he has heard that line before.

Philip has quite a full vocabulary, but is still hard to understand at times. Apparently this is frustrating not only for mommy, but for big brother too.

"The sun did not shine. It was too wet to play"

Sorry for no real updates lately, but we have done very little. Until last night, I am not even sure the last time the camera was used. So here are a few pictures of how we have spent most of our waking hours at home this past week. For those not around here, it has been a wet week, as the title here implies.






Maybe I have said this before, but this train set has been the best purchase thus far in our venture with toys. The boys both love it, and have played with it many more hours then any other toy we own. Thank you Craigs List!

Back to Being a Two Car Family

*Please bare with me one last time, as I mourn.

Well, it's official. I learned today that I will never again drive my favorite car around. My baby has been sold, or is being sold off. Looks like we are passing along the Jetta to Pastor DeMass and his family. They have been borrowing it all week, and have decided to buy it. I know they will love it, as I feel it's a great car. Lisa DeMass reassured me that I can come visit it whenever I like.

Hey, ya know, I just might.

It is nice to know it is going to a good home and that I will see it still at least once a week at church. I am thankful to of had a slow transition away from my beloved car, but the time has come and it must go. Goodbye old car, so full of memories.

Hello new memories, of life, with my mini van.

*Thank you again for listening.

First Attempt

The other night I sat down and made this pouch style baby sling for our next little guy and I to use. I combined a few patterns, and it actually went fairly well. Erika and baby Ezra tried it out for me and it seemed ok. We will see how it fits me once I move my expanding belly from the inside to the outside. The good news is that I have enough fabric to make another sling if this one ends up being too small.

Not Quite What I Had in Mind

I guess we need to redefine what cleaning up means. Though, I must admit that scooping sand off of the basement floor with trucks, does look like fun, I am just not sure how contained it would stay.
