Spring....at last!

Sorry that it has been so long since our last blog post! I have to be honest, I have not taken that many pictures of the boys lately because it is just too hard to get any good ones.....ALL THEY DO IS MOVE!! I am writing this at the end of a very LONG day in toddler-land! Life has become quite a challenge lately. We have discovered the word "no" and how to throw a meantemper tantrum...life is fun:)

Ok, all venting aside....life really is great! We have so much to be thankful for and the boys are doing fantastic! Since I wrote last the boys have started Preschool!! To avoid the worst of flu season, we kept them out of school until March. After a loooong, cold winter, we were all very ready! Although we usually have quite a few tears during drop-off, the boys are adjusting very well and love exploring and playing with their friends:)

My new favorite thing to do is listen to the boys sing. They love singing the "Elmo's World" song, Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, and Jack can sing his entire ABC's! Jack can also count to 15!! My jaw hit the floor when I heard him do it, completely unsolicited, the other day! He is quite the chatter box:) They both say "I love Mama!" and "I love Dada!" which is very nice to hear after a long day of challenging behavior! Can you tell I'm a proud Speech Pathologist mother??

Here are a few pictures of the boys from the past month. Please don't think I'm biased by putting up so many pictures of Will....he is easier to capture pictures of (partly because Jack is always crying.....j/k, Jack!). I promise to put up more pictures after our week at the beach and Easter weekend!

Happy Spring! Nothing says Easter like baby chicks:)

The petting zoo at Patterson's Birthday:)

Hi, Mom!

See ya, Mom! All Will wanted to do was run onto the golf course!

Will meets a Ferret!



Will giving Jack a "hug"

Sweet boy (sassy boy!)

Giraffe! Or as Will and Jack call it, a "big tall!"

Will makes this face when I say "Say cheese!"...hysterical! And I love his

little pot belly....he looks pregnant!

Big boy, Jack!

Fun with balloons!

Fun at the park!

First Haircut and Happy Valentine's!

Back at home....How do I look?

January 2010

January has finally come to an end....hallelujah! Come on Spring!! We did have some fun this month though, despite the cold. We went to the beach for a weekend with one of my best friends, Mollie:) We had a great time....it was actually in the 70's that weekend and we were able to go out on the beach! Unfortunately, we have had a major cold front ever since. This weekend we had 8 inches of snow...you never know what you're going to get in NC in the winter! Jack and Will love looking at the snow fall....they just hate going out in it! We gave it two solid tries this weekend....tried sleds, wagons, you name it....they just don't like it! Maybe next year:) At least we got a few cute pictures! Stay warm, wherever you are....spring is around the corner! Here are a few pics from this month:)

Will, aka "Mr. Cool"

I took Will to the store the other day and he picked out

an Elmo balloon that he just had to have....he didn't let it out

of his grip for 3 days!! And by the way, he calls it a "lootaloon" :)

Fun with Kiki and Papa in the snow!

Jack blowing kisses:)

They were not very fond of the snow:( Maybe next year!

Reading books....their obsession!!
