warmer finally!

After back and forth weather, windy days, rain and cold there is a beautiful day to enjoy! We were outside most of the day and the boys were happy to enjoy it. This is only a piece of it but the babies were so funny together on the swing. They took turns pushing each other. At one point John Hayden grabbed Andrew's toy and ran like the wind to escape, but to no avail. Someday he will get free!

He is one tough little guy. He always has a smile and is just happy to be here.

This is one of the favorites. I can only imagine the schemes that will be hatched on this swingset over the next few years.



The truest of friendships. These two are really buddies. Anders requires her in his room to sleep with him every night these days. Fends off the monsters and keeps him safe. Belle is a good girl and we all love her.


William is a good big brother and quite the trickmaster. Every time we look he is doing something daring these days. I am happy to see him branching out from his cautious ways.



The middle child is not forgotten. After a short walk with daddy, they got to examine the "treasures" of the sidewalk. They were sure sweet together.

Trouble

I realized I skipped a little after Christmas when everyone was happy to explore a little more. That always means more trouble, but they enjoy themselves.

John Hayden found out that cake is one of life's greatest pleasures. He kept this pose for about 20 minutes until the cake was gone.


The three little monkeys in full swing. I think this was the "playdate" that brought down the mobile for the first time. It is still hanging on but the boys will try again I'm sure.


John-John found the paper towels and had to inspect them ALL on his own. When i found him, he was so proud of his handiwork.



This just isn't good any way you look at it. Two of them against my one helpless computer. Good thing I found them when I did or who knows what they could have hacked into!


This is his most mischievous smile. I think he had secretly swiped from the snack cabinet and was caught red-handed. You can't blame a boy for trying!

Brotherly Love

It really is a testament to God's love in our hearts to watch these boys with each other. Sweet little John Hayden, no matter what happens to him in battle, comes back with the hope he will get a little love from his brothers. He and Anders are finally coming into a time where they miss each other when they are not together. We are blessed beyond belief that we have 3 such beautiful, healthy and happy boys. Will is a shining example to his babies and they teach him how to enjoy life even more.

If you all remember, it was all I could do to get A-train in this costume for the big day. Now, he pulled them both out and insisted on a rousing morning of pumpkin dress-up. Still the cutest pumpkin patch around.
This is the new regime. Andrew is in charge of feeding...works well with yogurt!


2 sweet little boys...


And now the fun begins! John-John has learned the tricks of the trade and thought he should make his move. After all, he takes it EVERY DAY.

Boys and their sports. Every one something different but all happy as clams. Just as it should be. I can't wait to see them all in action. Just a few more months i bet.
