What's Been Happening

We have been enjoying lots of company lately and it's been a joy. Grandma Joan (my Aunt from Seattle) was able to visit for about a month. We all really loved her company, especially the boys. Then Grandpa and Grandma Strom (Matt's parents) from Minnesota has been with us for a couple of weeks. I haven't been able to spend much time with them, but the boys have already grown attached.

Here's a quick rundown of all the activities from the last month or so...

With some beautiful warm weather, the boys LOVE going outside to play on the deck or in the yard. Sometimes dressed....and sometimes not...

Our Magnolia tree bloomed...isn't it beautiful?

Lots of boxes around the house....the "hot" toy at the moment. Here's Jacob in a Huggies box.

Not to be outdone, here's Joseph in the Huggies box.

The big La-z-boy chair box is a big favorite. And look, Joseph is eating an apple (not pealed or cut up). The boys discovered the bag of apples and decided to go for it.

Jacob with his apple.

And because I am a dorky mom, I took a picture of their first whole apples that they ate.

There have been some fights and good old wrestling.

And a little bit of fever. Don't worry, Grandma was there to comfort Joseph.

And the ever-helpful child, Jacob wanting to feed Grandpa.

Lots of love....Jacob tackling Grandpa with a hug.

And not to be outdone, Joseph came over to give Grandpa a hug.

The most recent favorite (today). Headlamps from Grandma.
