We have been enjoying the fantastic warm Spring weather by going on lots of walks and playing in the yard. I thought you might enjoy some updated pictures of the boys.
I love Mark's smile. His two top teeth are SO wiggly now!
Where on earth did he learn the "thoughtful" pose?!
Mark is doing so well in school. He is learning so much, making friends, enjoying each day, writing wonderful stories, and is reading reading reading.
Mark is also enjoying the independence of playing alone in the back yard for long stretches - without coming in the house with complaints of being lonely. The result is a very dirty, sometimes somewhat scraped up, but very happy boy.
Hooray for play clothes! (have I mentioned that this boy is STRONG?!)
I kept the wood that fell out of our tree - Mark has had fun "chopping" it into smaller pieces, and lugging it up and down from his tree house by a rope.
Sean loves to RUN all over the yard. Sometimes he even stops before he gets to the steps.
Sticks are great fun - he would bring whole armfuls of them inside if I let him.
Lincoln watches every move the boys make while they are in the yard.
Sean loves playing with trucks in the mud...
I have to make sure to zip his coat all the way to the top, or he starts putting clots of dirt and rocks and sticks down the front of his shirt for safekeeping! (I learned that the hard way)
Sean has some fun new words, too. Here are a few:
"hello-low" - phone
"pewwwwww" (said with much awe in his voice) - computer
"ge-go" - LEGOs
"hnah" - snack
"nah" - nap
"ba'-pa'" - backpack
"broh" - broken (sometimes used along with "uh-oh")
"boo" - book
"tur-tle"
"bear"
"wa-wa" - water
"pee"
"poo" (he tells us when his diaper is full, and sometimes if he wants to go in the potty)
Sean vigorously nods his whole upper body "yes" now, and accompanies his "no" with a shaking head.
A funny little anecdote: Sean has been fighting a cold and cough for the last few weeks, partly due to a virus that's going around, partly due to teething. The other morning Sean woke up with a really croaky voice. Sean sat up in bed and tried to say something, and all that came out was a squeaky croak. Sean looked up at me with a very worried expression, touched his throat, and rasped "Uh-oh, broh!"
