Summer is here!

Well, the AC is on, we've had tornado warnings, the ice cream truck is in the neighborhood, and the car is getting packed. It must be summer!!

The last month was a busy one for us around the house. We had a family stomach bug, which we graciously shared with the Taylors. (Sorry!) Tanner had his first ear infection and both of his upper front teeth came in at the same time. Dylan got his first black eye and has decided that he is ready to walk. Whew! We need a vacation from this parenting stuff! Oh, we did get a new family wagon that we are really excited to try out in a few weeks.



Dylan still loves to be outside. He weighs 22 pounds now (didn't get posted last time). He is so adventurous! We have a hard time keeping up with him!



Tanner is as sweet as ever! He has actually started seeing a chiropractor and he seems like a whole new, happy baby. He is still just so tiny and cuddly!



A big day for Dylan... his first piece of watermelon! Despite this face, he actually liked it. It wasn't very sweet yet, but we will make sure to get some delicious Missouri watermelons when we visit this summer.




Here is Dylan having somehow crawled into his tiny toy bucket. I think this was the day before he jumped out of the bath tub. Did I mention that he is adventurous?!




Two peas in a pod? Well almost...




Okay, we have loved Costco since the Taylors introduced us a few years ago. But now there is an even better reason to love Costco - double cart! Every store should have these for us families with 'special needs'! Just look at those two mesmerized faces...




Tanner plays so well by himself. He'll just play quietly and you won't hear a sound, until Dylan comes over and steals a toy or tries to nibble on his head!





This picture is a little old, but a good representation of us right now. Parents exhausted, boys alert and ready to play, the house a mess, and life just perfect. We wouldn't have it any other way. It's tough sometimes, but we love our chaotic life. Every time we see those two precious faces, we are reminded how truly blessed we are.
