Mr. Worm

 

 

 

Ben has found the worms in our back garden.  All boy!

The Cups

Nates favorite thing right now is his cups.  He takes them everywhere and stacks and restacks them.  He loves it!   One night I let him have them in his crib at bedtime.   30 minutes later we heard the cups clacking together and had to go back in to get them.  He was just sitting in his crib playing with the cups instead of going to bed!  He also LOVES puzzles.  Ben has never been interested in puzzles or these cups.  I love how different my boys are.

 

Germany

We were in Germany last week for some training and time of encouragment.  It was awesome and very timely to get some time away!  The boys were in child care all day while we were in meetings.  They did great and loved the volunteers that watched them.  It was so fun to hear Ben recap the bible story they had learned that day or try to sing the song they were learning! 

We were introduced to German food which the boys loved.  What toddler doesn't want to eat bread and hotdogs at every meal?  They also had this applesauce/baby food looking stuff for dessert one day.  Nate LOVED it!  He loved it so much he wanted to wear it the rest of the day and got it ALL over him.

Ben was introduced to smarties, an M&M type candy! 

 

 

 

The kids did a little presentation the last day!

 

We had a great time with old and new friends and getting a bit of a break from everyday life!

Chipotle, Krispy Kreme, and the Olympic Village

The beginning of March, we went into London for the day with some other friends.  Unfortunately, Nate was sick! I went for a long run and when I got home Allen told me that Nate had thrown up.  Well, you know that kids sometimes have those times where they just throw up and then they are fine.  We thought that was what was going on.  Little did we know...so we went on into London.  As the day went on we realized that Nate was pretty sick.  He ended up with diarrhea and vomiting!  We went through multiple outfits and even had to buy more clothes and diapers.  But we were able to go to chipotle, get some Krispy Kreme doughnuts, and visit the olympic village!  Nate was such a trooper and besides the huge mess you would not have known that he was sick.  He was so happy!

Ben loved getting to spend the day with his friend, W.  

All tuckered out!

Krispy Kreme!

All my boys asleep...

 

Rufus

Ben had the huge privilege of bring home Rufus, the preschool class pet.  He is a cute stuffed dog.  Of course, he loved it and had a hard time sharing Rufus with Nate.  Rufus slept with Ben and was introduced to all of Ben's cars.
