ice cream outside on a January night

D's attempt at dressing himself

E's first basket

E has taken lots of shots and gotten so close to getting it in several times, but today he finally made a basket!

E goes to work with Daddy

And meets some Braves VIPs!

D and Matt

At Lily's birthday party, D and Matt got these little rockets in their goody bags. They played with them together for hours.

D playing catch with E

R and D talk about school

D swings and giggles

bedtime reading with Daddy

E's schoolwork

The story he wrote is a little gross, but I want to remember how silly he is, so here it is. I like to see the sentences he thought up for the pictures and his drawings.

the claw game

a pause button 

haunt = ghost

This looks like a half happy half sad bunny.

a bird with hands?

His daydream is something about 1,000

D is ready for coach pitch baseball

E chows down on ribs

video of "SNOW!"

SNOW! (look closely)

R's snowman from school

She's getting better at writing her name!

the poor melon

The melon rolled off the counter and onto the floor and then the poor melon tried to roll out the door (just like the meatball). It was a really far way to roll too. It was so epic that I have to document it.

Lunch with E in the cafeteria

E wanted his friend to come and eat with us.

D enjoyed cafeteria corn.

E ate the ketchup straight out of the packet.

D loves his friend

Adrian came over and D gave him big hugs.

D's schoolwork and E's schoolwork

I showed this to D and he pointed at the stars and said "star" and the moon and said "oon".

E's sentences

I like his drawing of a dog.

Lunch Face

This was for R and she added the earrings.

D's sweater

 D is wearing the sweater Aunt Suze made for E before he was born!

E's baby shower

D's epic tantrum

because Mommy made him get out of pajamas and into sweatpants and a comfy shirt.

kids in a box

The day E grew a mustache

E's basketball game

He took some good shots, but none went in. He's an impressive dribbler! Definitely a point guard!

D's first sleepover

Mommy and Daddy had to go to a work dinner so our awesome neighbor (their second mom) watched the kids. D fell asleep pretty easily without crying for Mommy! Crazy, but the only one who said he missed Mommy was E.

E being E

Who needs toys?

Hundreds of toys and these guys play with plastic cups.

D in a pink hat

I went out to the bus stop to get E and D came running out behind me in this hat he must have found.

R's mess

R got this cool ice cream shop sand toy from Aunt Stacy for Christmas. It was so much fun and made a huge mess!

D looking so cute in his hat
