Here we are out on our walk


Spring is here!! These are some of my favorite trees - wish they were in bloom longer!!


We need to work on group shots!!




What a cute Easter bunny - tail and all




I was trying to see if Andrew liked the ducks or the bunnies better


Happy Easter!! Here is Andrew looking ready for the Easter beagle with his new outfit from his Godmother. This was also his first introduction to the bottle - didn't love it, but didn't hate it as much as Michael hated it!!


We had great fun playing with the Easter chalk Michael got from his Godfather. My attempt to draw a bunny


More pics while at church


Easter basket blessing. This was Andrew's first real church activity. This was Michael's first church activity too.


My favorite part was how Michael also wanted to help cleanup - no big surprise since clean up means more water!!


Easter 2008 - Here Michael and Daddy are coloring eggs. Michael made some of his own colors and got great colors!! Bryan of course was following instructions and counting drops - always precise!!


Here is Michael walking up the slide. It must be a boy thing - almost all the boys do this at the playground!!!


He also likes to climb up this thing...which still makes me a little nervous but he has good balance and is careful!!


Michael had lots of fun at the park - but he was wide awake!! Here he is going down the slide but

he is just as good at climbing up the slide.


To celebrate St Joseph's Day we went to the park. Here is Andrew's first trip to the playground. He slept most of the time.


Michael will smile for the camera and likes to take pictures but he really isn't into posing with stuffed animals - so it is now Andrew's turn to look cute for Mom. Of course here I think he looks like he is looking at the bunny and saying 'why is Mom putting my foot inside a rabbit/basket thinky?'


Bryan even remembered the cars!! So of course the boys had tons of fun playing with this!!


Michael had a wonderful birthday - thank you everyone for all the wonderful generous gifts!! Here Michael is playing with something my friend found at a consignment sale - the best part about this toy is Bryan had the same thing!!!

Here we are outside - Andrew is in his cabana and Michael is thinking about what he should do next


Here Andrew is in his cabana while Michael and I are outside playing. Andrew must like it since he took a nap in it!!


The other day we went for a walk and Michael kept wanting to walk straight...he led us right to Barnes and Noble to the train table...we had fun playing there - it was a nice day so the store was empty. The only problem was on the way home someone was tired and wanted to be carried home. I got lots of exercise that day!!


Or maybe it is just Michael being a 3 year old boy!!


Maybe the camoflage pants made Michael do it...


But if I can get Michael to push the stroller then maybe Duncan can join us soon


Michael is good at climbing and likes to climb the walls along our walk...another reason Duncan is home for now


Michael is back to hugging trees. Poor Duncan is home until I get brave enough to take him with us. Very happy Michael is wearing his hat!!


The weather has been very nice so we go out for a walk...Andrew gets to ride


Everyone is strapped in - let's hit the road...where should we go?? Well, Dunkin Donuts has a drive thru....


Andrew is ready to hit the road...but he doesn't like to keep his birdie shoes on


Michael loves to play driver...here he has a sip of water before the long drive


Andrew gets comfy in his ride...but tried to hide from the paparazzi


Andrew gets dressed for his first outing...



Grandpa is telling Andrew a nap-time story and doing a good job of putting Andrew to sleep.


Here are Grandpa and Michael making Michael's birthday cake - a pumpkin bread.


Someone is getting a little big for his car...but it is still fun


Here is Michael looking cool with his collar up riding his (big wheel) motorcycle...

More Grandma and Andrew - can never have enough pictures of Grandma and the boys!!


Andrew is gaining weight well so we are following the instructions on his shirt at night - he wakes us up when he is hungry!!


Michael had lots of fun blowing out the candles on his birthday cupcakes - he did it 3 times since he is now 3 years old!!!


Here is Michael making one of his favorite meals - mac and cheese. He is a good cook!!


Grandma is demonstrating her famous golf swing




Catching up - we had an early birthday party for Michael before Grandma went home - here Michael is trying out his basebal skills. Catch the ball!!!


Catching up - Grandma telling Andrew a story

Here is a short video of Andrew at 1 month - not much movement but a little...Michael and Grandpa are the voices in the background

Andrew had his 1 month checkup - he is 9 lbs 15 oz, 21 3/4 inches long, and head measurement of 14 3/4.
Otherwise all is great with him!!




Michael's new thing is going through the cave - here as another obstical is the cat tree than he must vrawl over...wonder why the cat is slightly upset??!!?? I think the real problem is the cat didn't think of it first!!!




Good thing Michael got his own camera now - he was ALWAYS taking mine!!

Here he is deciding what to take a picture of next
