A Fun Visitor and creative use for a couch....

We are still waist-deep in moving boxes (we have not even moved yet!) and there have been few opportunities for pictures lately. Here are a few from last month when Brian's nephew and his family came to visit. They have a son that is only 3 months older then Benjamin. The boys had so much fun playing with him. We only wish that he lived closer to us!

We took Aiden to the Mayfield Dairy and the boys all got Supercow ice cream -- and here is Benjamin showing you his blue Supercow tongue!

Ethan making his mad face for no real reason:

Ethan has discovered that the couch makes a great parking lot for big wheels:

Stay tuned on Friday for breaking news on the new house!

Summer Time and the Livin' is Easy....

...well not really easy livin'. Ok, maybe easy livin' for two certain little boys. In the meantime, Brian and I have been up early and to bed late trying to get things ready for our move that will happen in the next few weeks. Our house closes at the end of this month. Our contract fell through on the new house we few in love with. It was short sale that ended up not being short or a sale! So, moving on. We now have a contract on another home (actually it is only about 10 houses down from the original one we had a contract on!) and hope to close on it the end of next week.

So, the boys have enjoyed lots of playtime around home and love being our helpers (Ethan: "Mommy, do I need to help you pack the kitchen sink?").

Here are a few pictures from our recent trip to the local rock quarry:

Our view from the observation deck. The boys see something different every time we go there!

Here are the boys getting a little practice cutting with scissors.

Don't you just love the tongue sticking out while he is concentrating on his cutting???

I am off to wake my packing helpers for another day of playing and packing......Hope you have a great Monday!
