Tree Time
Getting a tree the weekend after Thanksgiving is one of our favorite traditions. Each year it is getting more fun to decorate with the boys. This near Nicholas contributed by climbing up the stool, when I stepped out of the room, and used the grabber claw to poke at the tree. Cooper completed the very difficult task…

A Bit Chilly
These boys love to dig and be outside like their Mama. Today we may have been pushing our luck. It was in the 20s and they are both wearing many layers of jackets, pants and socks, but the chill set in after 20 minutes or so of playing and we had to head home.

21 Months
Nicholas is really starting to let his goofy side shine through. If you ask for a Cooper cheese smile this is what you get from Nicholas. He has mastered it! A highlight is when Jan, the house cleaner, comes every other week. Nicholas can’t wait to get his hands on the Swiffer. He is now…

Family Haircut
After a very successful solo first haircut with both boys and a complete flop solo second haircut with both boys I called in the reinforcements.

You Can Learn How to Do Anything on the Internet
We all had our first pomegranate recently at Grandma and Grandpa’s house and wanted to try it again at home. We went big and bought the Costco 6 pack box and after a few viewings of an internet video we had success! The boys loved eating them and especially picking the seeds directly out of…

Undies Accessory
Nicholas loves to accessorize with scarves and hats. Nicholas’ favorite accessory is by far Cooper’s undies. He loves to wear them as hats and bracelets. Some days Cooper will even join in on the fun.

Camano Island
Grandpa and Grandma’s house is so much fun! How can a kid not love tons of games and toys at your fingertips with no waiting in line? Having Nana there with us too was a super bonus. Showing little brother the bowling ropes. After many rounds of this grabber/claw game Cooper now needs you to…
