Evelyn has arrived

As you can see, Brody already loves his little sis. And he also hates taking family pics as much as I do.

As far as Evelyn, you can tell she is mine as well. I had to dangle a slice of pizza over the camera to get her looking in the right direction.

I also threw in a newborn pic of Brody because I was interested to see how similar they looked.

Learning to Count

He counts on his own fingers now too.

On our trip to the Dells this May, we stumbled upon the answer to the age old question of... "What exactly goes on when the Dads are in charge?" Well, while the Moms were enjoying their much-earned spa time, this is what the menfolk were up to...

Dells, May '09

In the beginning of May here, we went up to the Dells to visit for the weekend with our "neighbor-friends" (whom we miss living next to dearly). We had a great time, and as expected, the weekend flew by. The boys had a pretty good time too I would say, but all three of them were a little intimidated by all the action at one point or another. We have great video of them wrestling around (which we will post shortly) but for now, here are some pics of the monsters at the water park...

The Little Einstein

It is few and far between that we get the chance to put some video or pics of Brody on the blogspot. That being said, we try to pick some of the better footage that we have when we do.

This is Brody showing how much he enjoys the "Little Einstein" programs. The kid doesn't know many words, but he knows the entire script and could direct the Einstein series. This video was a bit long for me even, so we added some text to inform you of some of the many dance moves performed during the video. Enjoy.

Well, it has been a long, long winter, but we survived it! Of course the joys of the season kinda kick started with the holidays. Although we were very busy, it was a much more enjoyable experience this year. As you can plainly see, Brody's enthusiasm was through the roof. And he actually decided to open a few gifts instead of just running off with a piece of wrapping paper to snack on! We spent New Years with our friends next door, and the Three Amigos made it until midnight and then some (those little party animals)!

We also explored the snow a bit this year, Lord knows we had plenty of it, and found it to be most exhilarating, that is, until your face 

plops down in it! 

 

During our long 

days inside, we resorted to all kinds of things to keep ourselves busy.  

From"monkeying" around, to 

building amazing towers, delightful afternoon naps, or chillin' with a cuppie full of milk, we did it all. We even braved the cold on occasion to go 

out and enjoy a

 meal or two. In addition to all that good stuff, we also spent some time working on climbing skills, computer skills,hat-modeling skills, and Rock Band skills.

 After all, chicks dig 

guys with skills- so we have to practice to stay good;^) 

 

 

 

So this winter we were fairly productive, but we are definitely looking forward to spring kickin' in!!!

Greetings all of you fans of entertainment.  Erin and I proudly present the debut performance of Broderick!!!  He talks a lot, though we don't understand what he is saying, but Erin and I have never heard him sing.....until now.  See if you can guess what Erin's favorite cartoon is.  Enjoy!!!
