Baxter

Brett got me this bear when we were dating. We used it while we were in different places to be close to each other. Bennett likes to hug on it, and it is always somewhere around the house. I found it tonight in the dining room. Graham was scared about something (the morning, the night, something) so I got the bear and he was so excited to hold it. He read it books and Brett found him alseep like this. Who would have thought a bear he got me 12 years ago  while we were dating would be helping our oldest go to sleep! So crazy and so sweet!

Elliott naps

this kid fought hard to nap today, but when he did sleep, it was so cute

Graham 1st homework

Graham had his first official homework to do. He had to count to 20 (which he can do super fast) and write his name 3 times. He needs to work on the writing, but he did a good job. It was like pulling teeth to get him to do it. But he was cool with using a pencil like he does at school.

 Good job Graham! He is holding his homework with his chin in the photo. 

(he has to work on writing his name with a upper case G, and lower case letters for the rest. Right now, he writes them all in upper case letters)

family sleep

Brett took this of us one morning. 

It can get crowded but the are so sweet

fun brother time

Bennett has been a fan of laying under Elliott while he is in the jumperoo.
They both seem to think it is cool, and right now, Elliott doesn't weigh enough to really jump and hurt Bennett. 

fun family scarf

I got this scarf thing in Michigan on vacation a million years ago, and have just found it again. And I love it! I got to share it this weekend with my family.

Bennett found it and decided to take a rest in there while we were packing up.
