We're back!

Hi friends. It's been a while. We had some technical difficulties for a while there. I'm not sure what we'd do without our ever talented and generous friends the Mitchels!
Looking back through the pictures from the month it's amazing to see how busy we've been. It all goes by so quickly!

I'd forgotten how long William's hair had been! This picture was taken shortly after he took a tumble down the entire flight of stairs. Tough little monster. He actually barely cried. I think it might have freaked out me and Nathaniel more than him!

Sporting some new converse!

William's best friend, William, came over to play while his sister made her grand entrance. The two boys are so fun to watch when they're together!

Like his parents, William has taken to fudgesicles. Don't worry. They're Healthy Choice.

Prepping for summer W got some new swim duds and a frog pool for the back yard. It's a hit.


Thank goodness for Aunt Charity, who helped save mommy's sanity while Daddy was out of town for a bit.
Okay... look close. William carefully hunted and captured this caterpillar. He proudly showed me his prize with his fingers pinched tightly on the poor caterpillar's middle. I was so grossed out, but had run to get the camera. W had lost interest in his now non-mobile pet and had dropped it by the time I came back. Boys.


Another boy toy. Charity, William and I up and drove down to Southern Virginia on a quick day trip to visit my brother who was there before he took off on a submarine! This fun race car simulator was outside the Commissary.

My bro took us on a tour of the submarine! Oh my gosh. It's soooo cramped. This picture doesn't even do his "bed" justice on how itty bitty his living space is.

W was pretty terrified while we were in there. He had an iron grip on my shoulder most of the time. Towards the end of the little tour he started reaching for various knobs and valves in the hallways. Time for the end of the tour!

"Hmm. What's a 'lemon'?"
"Yuck! I think I'll stick with fudgesicles!" -see below
That's my boy! Yes! So... in order to clean up his sticky hands, I decided to fill up the frog pool...
which quickly became a whole body affair. So. Off came the soggy clothes...
Voila! Shoes were left on to protect from the stinkin' gravel "patio" which is now GONE.

In more news! To the devoted (and possibly just bored) viewers... Today we found out that William is not only going to be a big brother, but he is going to be a big brother to a LITTLE BROTHER. We're so excited!
