It’s a Wolf

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

A few months ago the boys watched an episode of Super Why based on the story of the Three Little Pigs. They watched it and watched it and watched it…every day it was the show they picked to watch after dinner for weeks. And the story started to trickle into their play time. Every . . . → Read More: It’s a Wolf

Ruslan and Wyatt 3.0

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

I usually write separate posts about the boys, but so much of what they are doing is the same right now so it made sense to combine. The boys are playing together a lot more – they play in the kitchen, they play cars, build, etc. I love that we are finally getting the . . . → Read More: Ruslan and Wyatt 3.0

Water Fight

The boys have taken baths together since escaping the duck tub and moving up to the big tub. Recently they went through a phase where they hated baths especially Wyatt. He would stand in the bathtub and scream while I quickly washed him and hurried him out and into his pjs.

Ruslan runs fast, plays hard, throws a ball straight and when you get hit in the back of the head with the ball you know it. We have been calling him our future offensive lineman – something to do with his build and the way he runs.

The boys like it when you hide from them and jump out. Well, actually they like it when they know where you are and they can see you sort of hidden and then you jump out and “surprise” them.

Scott’s brother Erik is a firefighter and for some reason we never went to visit him at the station until this past weekend. The boys were so excited, they talked about it all week. Go see Uncle Erik, see the fire trucks? Saturday morning I told them that yes today was the day we . . . → Read More: We Went for a Ride in A Fire Truck

Happy 3rd Birthday Ruslan and Wyatt

age3-10

Wasn’t it just yesterday that you slept in my arms in the hospital? And we brought you home and you fit in the bouncey seat together and slept side-by-side.

Those early mornings that you slept beside me and I would open my eyes to see one or both or you looking back. I was . . . → Read More: Happy 3rd Birthday Ruslan and Wyatt

The Final Days…Three Years Ago

pregnant-boys3

The c-section had been scheduled for weeks so I knew that my OB appointment on Wednesday, April 15th 2009 would be the final one before the boys were born.

Before my appointment I had a monitoring session. For the past few weeks I had non-stress tests twice a week where the babies were monitored to . . . → Read More: The Final Days…Three Years Ago

You Capture: Easter

I posted some pictures of the kids in their Easter Sunday outfits last week. Saturday was a busy day of Easter activities. Mid-morning we went outside and played with bubbles and waited and waited.

And then the Easter bunny came and delivered balloons and candy to the kids (organized by the borough we . . . → Read More: You Capture: Easter

This picture may be worth a thousand words, but it is leaving me speechless. What? Why? It was just as confusing when he was running toward me in the front yard this evening.
