Math-ew

Wow. So, Matthew was playing Mario bros and wanted to know if he had enough star coins to  open a new area... I showed him where it said he had 3 coins and then I showed him where it said he needed 5 coins.... He paused a second and then said "so I need 2 more coins?".  I know it's a basic thing, I was just terribly impressed... maybe 'cause I'm his mom... :)

Beach fun

"dad!! I made my own toilet!!!"

What to do on an over cast rainy day?

Take a long late nap of course



and then make mom stay up with you late into the night.

Josh

pardon the absence, but big plannings have been underway 'cause see that guy up there? He's gonna join the family officially in March... and we're thrilled.

and Matthew 'learned' to fish.

and he got credit for catching a fish, but this was about as close as he actually got to a fish....

beautiful bubbles

because curls = bubbles you know...
