WHAT GOES UP MUST COME DOWN

Poor Max didn't even have enough steam left over to finish his lunch. He was being really quiet and when I went to check on him I realized why. Cru on the other hand was supposed to be taking a nap, but he had other plans. He snuck into the kitchen and got into his treat jar and took every last sucker. He unwrapped them all and took a few licks of each one and then discarded them in a pile on his bed. It must have been exhausting, because he fell asleep with one still in his mouth. He also took of his pants and underwear, I'm not sure what thats all about. I guess it just proves kids are unpredictable and you should always expect the unexpected.

SLEDDING

The three amigos had a good time sledding. Max was a little scared, but cru and daddy were loving it.

THE SHINER

Leave it to Max to find anything even remotely sharp to run into. He's an accident waiting to happen. This black eye was a result of falling and hitting the edge of the coffee table on the way down. Luckily it just caught the corner of his eye, although I'm sure it was still painful.

NEWEST ADDITIONS

Our newest arrivals, Ollie and Pixie. They are so cute, and the

boys are having so much fun with them. They are brother and

sister and the sibling rivalry shows. We love them so much,

although they will never take the place of sweet Louie, they are

sure going to try.

CHRISTMAS 2008

The kids stayed busy through the holidays making custom cookies and playing with their many new toys. Christmas was really fun with the boys this year. Max was a maniac ripping open every present he could get his little hands on. Cru on the other hand just wanted to open one little present under the tree, a new Thomas the train of course. He caught me wrapping it earlier in the month so he knew which one it was. It was probably the longest two weeks of his life waiting for Christmas morning, and like every man, he didn't suffer alone.

COUCH POTATO

Max is the family nudist. We have to wrestle him down to the ground after his baths to get him dressed. This is where I found him one evening after he escaped me. I know your wondering how he maintains his physique. Well, he drinks lots of milk and takes lots of naps. I think he gets his figure from his Dad.

MOMMIES LITTLE MESS MAKER

This is what happens when you have five minutes of silence, you get thirty minutes of clean up. You gotta love the smile on his face, it's a good thing he's cute.
