Can You Guess?

I picked up B's Halloween costume yesterday. Can you guess what he will be this year?

Gracie will be wearing her big brother's hand-me-down monkey costume, I think. I haven't actually tried it on her to see if it will fit. I'll add that to today's agenda!

And since we're already playing a guessing game, can you guess what B is doing in this picture?

If you guessed "Painting a birdhouse made out of recycled materials that his Daddy built for him using a kit we picked up at Patuxent River Appreciation Days" - you'd be correct! In fact, his Daddy won a nomination from B for "Father of the Year". He had a blast with that little project. Unfortunately, if Josh is waiting on a "Husband of the Year" nomination, he'll be waiting a little longer. He set B up with this project right before he left for work. Guess who was left to supervise and clean up the mess? If you guessed the future "Wife and Mother of the Year" (aka ME), then you guessed right :)

SURPRISE!!!

I'm actually updating my blog! I was going to wait until the one-year anniversary of my last post, but I had a few extra minutes tonight after folding all of the laundry :)

We've been busy the past 11 months. I am going to try to update more frequently now. You know, for my non-Facebook friends...all two or three of you!


Brennan started preschool last month. He goes three times a week for two and a half hours. He seems to like it and we've noticed some positive changes in him. For instance, he actually lets us read to him now! He's a cool kid and he keeps us on our toes.


Gracie is the sweetest little thing on the planet. She adores her big brother and loves watching him act like a giant goof ball. She isn't crawling yet, but we're not encouraging that type of behavior. We want her to stay in one place for as long as possible! She says "Momma" now, she waves hello and goodbye, claps her hands, and has the best belly laugh.

Here are just a few, random pictures since I haven't posted in almost a year...

B played soccer. He hated it, but it's a cute picture!
