Filling in the Blanks

It has been a good bit since I've written...so there are a lot of blanks to fill.

I'll start with a proud little guy.

This is Jackson...and the super huge...pretty hard puzzle that he managed to master with very little help from mom.  Great job, buddy!  (He posed so patiently while I tried to take a picture where you could see the puzzle without a lot of glare.)

On a cold afternoon in January, we pulled out all the stops...and turned to the Elmo bubble machine for some fun.  It's a little old hat for the big boys...but they still get excited.  For Mitchell..this was a first...

He couldn't get enough of Elmo or the bubbles...before too long he was covered with bubbles and drool.  It was so cute to see him concentrating...and trying to grab the bubbles!

Excuse the positioning of the next two pictures.....

This is the carpet that used to be in the laundry room...it had seen better days...and with Mitchell days away from crawling...we thought we should do something.

so after a trip to Lowes...and a couple days of not-so-hard work...we have a new floor.

Pictures to come....

This is just a cute shot I thought I'd share.  Uncle Dwight stopped by to give us an old VCR he and Aunt Lynn aren't using.  (thank you, thank you, thank you...who knew our kid would be so addicted to old vhs disney flicks!)  Anyway...Dwight stuck around for awhile.  Here he's holding a sleeping Mitchell...while entertaining an energetic Connor who was playing the hat switcheroo with him!
