Home Again, Home Again, Jiggety Jig

Reese is quite happy to be home again... He LOVES it at Opa and Oma's house--he mentioned this several times while we were there, but now that we are home he will remark that he is happy to be home. Today while driving he saw several familiar sights and that is when he'd say he is happy. Funny kid.

Our old hometown... Was nice to visit. The boys ate up Grandma Keri... as well as Papa Dave, Auntie Diana and Uncle Ju ju.

Some other cute ones of the boys at Oma's...

While at Oma and Opa's we got to see the neighbor take down a tree with his bobcat... Opa and Oma had a tree come down, but not all the way, so the neighbor just grabbed a hold of it and pulled it down. He then tried to push another one down. Both boys were mesmerized by the action... They sat in a wheelbarrow to watch.

Where Oh Where???

Oma, Oma's cousin-David, and the two boys...

I think I'm going to take the approach others have and just list what's been happening with us... (don't get too excited, it's not much)

*Our two boys are the best car travelers... we are down at my parents again. The 9 hour drive is actually pleasant and no, we don't medicate them... Reese listens to books on tape from the library and Carsten is entertained by everything going on around him.
*Carsten likes being a tease--we tell him not to fall asleep and he closes his eyes and then opens them quickly to make sure we are watching and laughing.
*Carsten can finally give a real kiss! No more open mouthers here...
*Reese has quite the imagination--he spends more and more time playing on his own and with his brother--not needing mommy so much...
*Reese is doing really well in his new bed--can't say the same for Carsten. I haven't gotten up the courage to move him out...
*I'm getting my website going--I'll post when that is mostly done... In the mean time the tailor's children have no clothes (in case you don't get that, the photographer's children have no pictures...).

Family Pictures

While on vacation we attempted family photos... Here is what we came up with--Enjoy!

The End...

Thursday night dinner out... Carsten looking his usual grinning self.

Ahhh.... vacation

Vacation is rough... We have rode bikes (I shouldn't include myself since I have yet to get on mine). Reese has figured out the tag-a-long is a pretty good ride. We rented it and might end up buying it as he loves it! We pretty much have just hung out and relaxed. Today we went to a museum that had outdoor exhibits and animals--it was a nice day. So, to all our fans that check up on us here we are!!! (check Alicia's blog for more pictures...)

Thursday: museum, riding bikes...

Reese on the tag-a-long... What a way to ride!

Wednesday: went to lunch, more biking...

Papa keeping Justin occupied while the girls crafted... We made these growth chart mirrors!

Tuesday: rode bikes, rode bikes...

Monday: rode bikes, went on walks, rode bikes...
