What's going on...

I always feel so guilty because I don't blog as much now that Alex is here.  Having two children running (and crawling) around the house definitely makes me prioritize my time, and unfortunately, blogging gets pushed to the bottom of that list.  Boo.

 

First day of Pre-K 4.  It makes me sad this will be his last year at his little school, and it hurts my heart. 

 

Whenever this baby quits sleeping with his booty in the air, I think I will cry. 

 

And he LOVES to eat.  Sam was a picky eater, (and still is.)  It looks like Alex may not be so discerning.

 

 

 

 

Officially crawling at 8 months, and now he's pulling up everywhere.  He's also falling everywhere.  I expect Child Protective Services at any moment. 

 

God bless him--Anthony took Sam by himself to his first football game.  I had planned on going, but Alex got sick, so I stayed home.  I think I won on that deal.  According to Anthony, it was blazing hot, and a 6:00 kick-off made for a long day with a 4-year-old. 

 

Sam enjoyed it. 

 

A little FYI for boy parents.  Transformers Rescue-bots are almost IMPOSSIBLE to find.  Some are currently going for $85 on eBay.  They retail for $14.  It's ridiculous.  We have searched high and low for them.  Sam sleeps with his. 

 

More crawling cuteness

 

Oh, and Alex has said his first word..."mama."  As he should. 

Summer vacation...

Yes, I know it's September.  Yes, I know that summer is over.  But I didn't post our vacation pics, so that's what I'm going to do.  We went to the Grand Hotel for the 4th time.  We've gone since Sam was 3 months old, and we always enjoy it. 

 

Spending a little time building sandcastles at the beach.

 

 

Insisting on pushing his brother around in the stroller.  This action is a little risky. 

 

Early morning swinging with Papa.

 

Sweet, sweet, baby. 

 

Sam's first bike ride.  We WORE OUT the bike rentals while we were there this time.   Sam is now the proud owner of a new bike.  He loves it. 

 

A little date-night action.

 

Daddy and his boys

 

Every year we take a picture of Sam in this tree.  Now we have another boy to add to the tree bough. 

 

Painting on the balcony

 

Sam's really into making silly faces right now...I wish he wasn't.

 

 

I don't know why I like this imperfect picture so much.  I guess I feel that it's a little more accurate.
