Nathan's Test Drive

As Matthew played away at school, Nathan smiled away for the cameras...

More smiles...

Look-y here, I'm standing nearly on my own...

We're all good here...

Finally, while big brother slept in the back, Nathan thought he would get a jump on driving the mini-van...too cute!

Raina Visit

On Friday Nathan had his first mini-bagel, since he now has this third tooth. He put it to good use and made it through 3/4 of the bagel.















Everyone had a great time with their visit with Raina. Matthew is a big fan of Aunt Raina, and the egg race that she got him,















And Nathan is a big fan of the trucks that he got.













And the real reason that she came to visit, to play in the bouncy.

Happy Valentines Day

Matthew and Nathan had a very good Valentines day. First they opened gifts from Nana and Pa.

Then they got to have a Valentines day treat. [It was Nathans first, he watched his brother to see how to do it right]
Nathan seems to have gotten the hang of it ok.


Happy Valentines day from all of us here!!!!

February Fun!

So, the month started out with just a bit of snow! Lucky us that Matthew is such a big help with the shoveling...

...and that Nathan is such a cutie, and so patient as we get shoveled out.

After all that cold and snow, we need some warming up and what better way than a fun bath!

One of the boys' first baths together and it sure looks like everyone is having fun (even if mom is always at the ready :-).

Couple of Cows~

We went to West Hartford and what a fun place this is...Matthew had a good time checking out the cows (sorry, Nathan, still stuck to mommy out of camera-range :-)....

A drive-able cow...does it get any cooler? If only I could take it with me...

New Haven!!

We are more than a bit behind in posting (again!). Just seems to go that way with us, but let's see what the boys have been up to these last few weeks!

We went to New Haven to start the new year off right and visit Aunt Andrea...and Nana and Pa, of course!

The elder boys were all big fans of the Children's Museum, especially the gears!

Nana and Pa were good sports and wore ladybugs on their heads in the bug room. In case you are wondering, yes, that is a beehive in the background!

If Nana and Pa are going to be ladybugs, we're going to be butterflies. Mike has the voice just right (from Disney's Bugs Life). Say it with me...I'm a beautiful butterfly!!

Pa and Nana help Matthew check out Yale...nice school (and pretty snazzy architecture, too)!!!

Since our cutie-pie littlest man was mostly strapped to mommy in the Bjorn, we thought we'd share a cute look form the man behind the scenes :-)...what a sweetie!
