Kiddo Update

Oh, we just love this sweet kids so much!  They bring so much joy into our lives!

Sweet Lily Girl!  3 1/2 years-old.  She is growing up so fast.  She is such a good girl.  I think she has graduated from the "terrible 2" stage and her feisty attitude has calmed down... at least a little bit. She is so pleasant and loving, especially towards us and Boston.  She very much has maternal instinct in that she is constantly trying to help Boston.  (Whether he wants it or not).  She loves to play outside and wants to play with any kid that is around.  She will be our social butterfly.  And as the previous post indicated, she loves to sing. 

We love you, Lily! 


Our neighbor, Lexi, that lives across the street.  She is 5 yrs-old but she is so sweet to play with Lily.

 

Don't you just love how she takes his finger to point to the pictures on the page.  She will ask, "Boston where is the ______?"


 Rest time always involves reading time.

 Oh, cute Boston boy!  Just about 17-months now.  This little tyke is pure boy.  Rambunctious, wild, and yes, has complete attitude now.  Our kids seem to enter the "terrible 2's" a little earlier than most.  When Boson gets bugged he will yell really loud "NNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOO!" and then make this mouth sound like he is trying to spit at you.  I have no clue where he learned this - but the boy already knows what time out is.  Despite these little growing pains, this little boy is the happiest kid on the block.  He is such a good talker.  I love it when they get old enough to communicate so you know what they want.  His most favorite phrase at the moment is "Hold it!" - meaning, hold me.  

We sure LOVE him so much!


 


I love this picture!  He is obsessed with tools and thinks this car brush is some sort of sword.  He just waves it all around.  I am also slightly obsessed with his muscle shirt!



Boston LOVES books.  He will just grab a book and say "Read it" and then sit either right next to you or right on your lap.  I love how Lily loves to read to him.





He just loves to lay on the stairs like this.

Belated Bolder Boulder Post

I have loved this yearly tradition of running the Colorado Bolder Boulder with these amazing women.  Unfortunately, this year I had to opt out at the very last minute due to unexpected foot problems (tendonitis).  I love getting geared up every spring and training every Saturday with such a great group of women.  This picture was taken on our annual Saturday breakfast before the run.  I sure hope to run with them again next year.

Lily is Home!

We got to bring Lily home from the hospital last night. It's kinda crazy to think that this beautiful little girl is ours. We definitely have a lot to learn about being parents, but are sure excited for it. We are especially grateful that our families are so willing to help out with everything. My parents are here right now and then Christina's mother and sister will be coming next week. We feel blessed to always have their support. Here are some pictures from the last couple of days. Here is a very proud grandpa spending time with his little grand daughter. He does such a good job with her and it is neat to see how proud he is. Also, here is one of the funniest little videos. So far, her eyes have been very perceptive, but here, I think she got a little overwhelmed. I think her hands mess with her eyes. We have to keep them covered cause she always is scratching her face. But the video just makes us laugh. She is such a cute little girl!!! As you can see, we are very pro...
