New Adventures


Macabe and Greta are good buddies. They love to dance, play with the same toys and pick on each other. We're so lucky to be closer to our cousins now.

At Madeline's soccer game Macabe had such a hard time not joining in on the game. We had to go run the bases instead so Madeline's team didn't get a penalty for too many players on the field.

Bennett is smiling more and beginning to coo. He loves it when there's lots of action from his brother dancing around. And most of all, he likes to snuggle close.

And that Daddy, he's always so funny. He makes silly faces and has introduced Macabe to the "race carts" at Home Depot. It's fun to race around the store. Other new favorite activities are making pies with Gramma (aka Nana) for Grampa (aka Bumpa) to eat when he gets home. And searching and calling for Waldo (aka Algo) or doing puzzles keeps everyone impressed. Of course, Mac loves to have long, silly conversations on his phone, usually with Daddy, Aunt Hannah or Grammy (aka Mimi).
Oh how fun it is to have two boys! They are such sweet peas!

Brotherly Love

Macabe loves to hold his new baby brother. Bennett isn't always as sure it's that fun, but he knows kisses from Mac are definitely wet! What a treat! This week Bennett is five weeks old already and weighed in at 11 lbs, 4 oz. The first glimpses of smiles came on Monday and Daddy is still trying to catch sight of one. We unfortunately haven't caught one with the camera yet either. The leaves are starting to change and we are thankful for the many warm blankets and sweaters Grandma Lepard has been working on. Maybe this weekend we'll go out and find a "numkin" as Macabe's two favorite things to point out are "numkins" and "da moooon". Two signs that fall is surely upon us.
