It's been awhile!

It's been awhile since I've put anything up here...sorry!

This is mostly a Silas post...

Here's some crib tent footage from when he first started in it...

He gives fives and blows kisses now when he goes down to sleep...

Next is his love of all things "Bob Bob"!

Can you sing the theme song with him?

Then you'll see "bird"...he LOVES to listen to Memaw Katie's music box!

And then finally, you'll see a bit of him the day of surgery--during that evening...

We go for our follow-up on Wednesday afternoon...

Crocodile Dock 2009!

Here's the "closing program" from Mt. Lebanon's Vacation Bible School...Crocodile Dock...

Silas watched from the balcony with his teachers!

Nathan's Spring Programs

Here are Nathan's Programs from last week...
The first is from Songburst Choir...the story of Creation...
The second is his Mom's Day Out...they did the same main program that his choir did, so I did not include that part...but Nathan did the Armor of God and then he "graduated" from the program...

Silas Milk Walking

Silas was cracking Nathan and I up tonight...he's figuring out how to stand from sitting, but then gets off balance and falls and says "ooohhh" and gets up and does it again! Then he gets his milk and then he's just a hilariously sweet goofball!

Nathan's First Hit!

Nathan got his first hit at a game tonight!
He's so proud!
He also got knocked in the head, but it was mostly helmet...just grazed his tough forehead...he's alright...

KG Spring Recital and Choir

Nathan's First T-ball game!

Go Silas Go!

Big man Silas

Here's a bit of Silas and his new talent of climbing onto the furniture...he's awfully proud!

Let the Construction Begin...

We've been blessed with being able to refinance our home, save money each month, and build our dream...a screen porch with a twist...the "man cave"!
Underneath the screen porch will be the man cave to provide storage
for mowers and man stuff!

Here's the deck with the pavers removed where we found a HUGE sandbox underneath!

Alan worked over the weekend to demolish the deck!
He saved the deck boards, planed them, and will use them for the fort under the slide later on...

The Bobcat man getting to work!

The BIG hole!
(about 9 feet deep)

Kiddos in the HOLE!

Today they are finishing up the footers and hoping to pour concrete!
More to come!

Pix of the Kiddos

Daddy dug a hole for the new swingset...
Nathan jumped in to check out how deep it was!
Yes, it was up to his waist!

We look for Rosie (aka "Duh") every morning!

Nathan was building with Legos, and
Silas insisted on helping by climbing in the box!

Fun with Silas...

So what's up with ol' boy Silas these days???

He's "reading" his books,
Playing peek-a-boo,
looking so proud using his "walker",
and asking for "more" yummy pinto beans!

Random Moments

Here's a few random moments from the last month or so...
Some of Nathan and Silas together,
some baby gooing (he found his tongue!),
some stair climbing (eek!),
snowman building,
sledding,
gi-normous snowball rolling,
and awesome snow fort building!

Basketball Boo!

This one's especially for you, Pops!
Here's a quarter of one of KG's Upward basketball games!
The intro is from one game, the playing from another...she's on the white team in the game...
Let me hear you cheer!
