AnaLeah Dance

The boys continue to be AWESOME with AnaLeah. They are taken by her and she is taken by them. Often, they are the ones she smile for. It is our pleasure to be able to watch them bond together.






One of the ways that the boys can "help out", is to help entertain AJ. When she starts to get fussy, they've learned that they can "dance" Ana out of her stooper. In the short clip you can see the boys do their dance while she watches from her swing (in the background).

Long Lashes

AnaLeah may have inherited my chubby, round cheeks. She lucked out getting Daddy's long lashed too.

Bye Bye Crib

Last night was Levi's first night without a crib. He did a fantastic job sleeping in the bottom bunk! He's a look at the boys' room....pardon the mess.

Which One?

One of these photo's is NOT AnaLeah. Can you guess which one?






If you guessed the last one you are correct! My mom just sent Jude and Levi a picture of me (Rachel) from 2 days after I was born. It's a little eerie looking at the photo, there is so much resemblance. It feels as though I'm looking at a picture of Ana.

Home Depot

Our calendar is marked each first Saturday of the month as a possible Home Depot day. The boys like to go because they have a free craft to build. One month they came home after they had built a wooden bank shaped like a house (which they promptly turned into a garage to park Matchbox cars). Today, with some friends, they built wooden race cars.

Snow Cave

What a weird winter it has been! With snow in October and March and not much in between, Jude and Joel took advantage of our latest snow storm. After about 12 inches of fluff fell on the ground, they decided it was high time to build a snow cave into the pile of snow that had been shoveled off of the driveway. The cave was so inviting that Levi (who had decided it was too cold outside and had retreated inside to do some creative painting) made a second trip out in the cold. It was so roomy that Levi could stand up inside the cave. It didn't take long before the boys brought their beach toys into their den to give it a more homey appeal.
