Exhibit A: A sleeping child who just wants to be left alone.

 Exhibit B: Another child who just can't help but pester and push the buttons of the sleeping child.

 Nathan be any more embedded in Caleb??? I don't think so.

We are so in love with this little guy! He is such a joy to have in our family and has been so much fun. I can't believe what a great/easy baby he has been. 

With Nathan's work and school schedule we NEVER see him, and by never I mean he goes to work at 5 am and comes home between 7 and 10 pm and then goes straight to bed and to make things worse he will be working weekends for the next 6 weeks also. So I have taken it upon myself to get our little yard (back and front) spruced up. We have been talking about it for awhile now and we have even worked on it a little but it still has a long way to go. Anyways this week I have been trying to get all the leaves and dead grass raked up so I can lay down some grub treatment but every time I rake up a pile a certain little man comes and spreads it all out... needless to say we are not getting much accomplished but we sure are having fun.

Instagram

Here are our lives the last few weeks through the eyes of instagram.

 

 

 A brand new shelf for all the playroom toys. Built by Nathan and painted by Heidi.

 

Some really fun stickers that came in the mail.

 

 Loads of money spent on Pedialyte, meds, and doctors visits for our sick little Ethan who was vomiting non stop for over a week. We spent a lot of time at the doctors. It broke my heart to see him so sick but luckily he is back to normal and still happy and sweet.

 

 My new book from Nathan and a lens from my mother in law! I am finally starting to figure out this camera... ok well at least I am trying to figure out this camera.

 

Playing in the sandbox... in south Texas you spend all year outside.

New Braunfels Children's Museum

A couple of weeks ago a friend and I saw some groupons for the Children's Museum in San Antonio and thought it would be fun to go one weekend when our husbands had a Friday off (they get every other Friday off). So we both headed to the Museum and arrived around the same time, only to find we had bought groupons to different Children's Museums. We went ahead and just scrapped our Groupon for the museum in San Antonio and went to the one where are friends were in New Braunfels. It ended up being a really great choice. The museum was just the right size and almost completely empty. Our little boys had a great time.

 

Ethan of course just hung out and watched while Caleb played. I will note that he did get in a pool for the first time this trip! It is funny because Caleb was in a pool at 3 weeks and here Ethan was just getting in for the first time at 4 months.
