Past Week

Big things happened this past week. Well not really. It was a fairly typical week for us. Birthdays, swimming, shopping, the usual.

On Monday, Brode and Graham (and Me) received a box of goodies from Grandma Cheryl. One of the fun little toys was a Cars Magnetic Case. The boys loved this. Especially Graham. Here he is concentrating very hard with one magnet.

On Tuesday we celebrated my 28th Birthday. Wow 28 feels good.
My day was so awesome. I am a very lucky girl. My boys treated me so nicely.
We went shopping, to the movies to see Despicable Me (super cute!) and went
out to dinner at Chuy's. Oh Chuy's. It was the BEST day.

Micah is a good Mommy..... I mean Daddy. While staying at home
tending to the boys, house and grocery shopping, he finds time to run these boys hard.
Naptime is no longer an issue. They can't wait to lay down and sleep a little.

Most of their afternoons are spent at the pool. Oh the pool. Thank heavens.
Brode plays in his tube. While Graham stays close to the edge of the pool.
Typically on the first step, entertaining himself quietly, contently.
Brode is armed with shoes (perfectly lined up) ready to be
launched at Daddy the crazy shark.

Daddy dressed Graham. Notice the cute little crack sticking
out from the large swim shorts.

Safely perched on his stoop.

Graham's favorite game: "Where's Graham?"


Brode's favorite game.

We also took our monthly trip to Costco this week. There are three things Costco is good for.
1. Toilet Paper in Bulk
2. Lunch for the entire Family for $10
AND
3. BOOKS
We stumbled across a series of books that Micah feels are essential for
every child. We bought the set and every night Micah reads a couple
of chapters. Brode loves the story and loves the quiet time with Daddy.

Happy Birthday!!!!! Your family is just the cutest! Tell the Daddy he must teach the boys how to swim...perfect time, and so good for them to know. I hope you realize how lucky you are....cute, cute family, a husband and father that can stay home and replace the mommy, so the mommy can go and make some moola, and when you get home they are so happy to see you...I really think this is a blessing!
