Terrific Two!
Matt & I can really see the toddler emerging in Collin. He is using more words and becoming ever more independent. I love the bath for the days he won't snuggle. I get him locked down in one place and all to myself. This day, I thought his hair looked like Elvis. All the fun of being two!

Last week I had the privilege of spending a few hours taking precious baby El's photo and chattin' up her mama, Brandi. This little one is so sweet, the pics I took could not capture all the cuteness. Brandi and her husband Joe are old friends of ours. This season for them has been such a joy for me to be a part of. All the newness, surprise, and delight a firstborn brings.

New Love
Yes, we are gamblin' fools. Yahtzee has become a new found family obsession. We were re-introduced to this on a double date with our good friends Jayson and Nicole. Last week Nicole sent me these dice in the mail. I had been complaining about our 2nd hand, chipped up dice during a Yahtzee rematch we had with them. I was so pumped when I opened them up, you would have thought it was a check or refund of some sort. Thanks Jayson and Nicole! As a side note, we don't really bet on the games, it is just pride on the line.Pathetic
This lone tulip is the only Spring that has sprung in our yard. Sad. Four boys produce a lot of mud, sweat, & giggles but they murder my flowers. We will give the garden another go this year. For some reason that I am sure has to do with food, they will respect the boundaries of the garden. Flowers, in the words of Parker, "I have no use for." So with the exception of the extravagent bouquets of dandelions, which are in rich supply at our house, there will be no flowers for mom. Nothing really beats the sticky clump of weeds your 4 year old hands you, "I picked these for you Mom!," anyway.
