Funniest Expression: Aw, nuts!

 

Loves to play! Wrestling with Pop, throwing things, esp. the football, running hard and kicking the soccer ball, fighting with swords and playing cars with Isaac, creating drawings and playing blocks and Legos with Delia.  Loves to read books all day long.  Always wants to help in the kitchen.  Gives the best hugs and still loves to snuggle.  Such a big boy- wants to do everything "by mine self!"  Loves to tell knock, knock jokes and knows how to make everyone laugh. 

 We are so grateful to have this little one- Happy Birthday Miles.  We love you so much!

 

 

Miles' 2nd Birthday Party

This little boy LOVES Cars.

So we had an awesome May-May (Mater) and Pa-CHOW (Lightning McQueen) birthday party for him.

Taking a wack at the checkered flag pinata...

Opening presents- mostly Cars related...

He did get a new Manning jersey and fun birthday crown which he doned immediately...

Of course we had a McQueen cake.  My camera ran out of batteries as soon as I took this picture so I missed blowing out candles, etc.  Miles loved his party!

Bike Riding Delia

After a whole summer of ignoring her bike, Delia suddenly decided to learn how to ride it.  To celebrate we let her paint Isaac's old bike purple!

First Days of School

This year Isaac is in first grade and Delia is doing another year of preschool.  The kids were really ready to get back to school- and after a challenging summer I was pretty ready for school days to start as well.  We love Isaac's teacher and spending another year at NH preschool.  Looks like it's going to be a great school year!

Sink or Swim

In August I finally got Isaac and Delia into swim lessons.  I can pretty easily say that we don't have any future olympic swimmers in our family.  The kids learned how to get wet without freaking out and how to kind of put their faces in the water.  Hooray for progress- I'll take it.  Here they are showing off their crawl stroke before their last lesson...

We're back!

We're back!  On this blog anyway.  We actually didn't go anywhere, but my computer was very sick.  I think it's well enough to start posting again- lots of backlog to get caught up on.  Lots of photos coming soon...
