What Excellent Little Boys

We have a lovely ritual in putting the boys to bed. We scrub them down and put pj's on. Then we go into Zach's room for pre-bed wiggles and reading. Zach was all snuggled in his new quilt from Grandma with one of his board books. He was very happy!

Small children aren't that helpful with craft projects. This is actually left over yarn from a blanket I knit Memere while I was in college. The yarn is a hopeless tangled mess, but, very entertaining to well supervised children.

Ben is getting big! He's in 18m clothes and really starting to army crawl.

SPRING!

Well, the sun is out. The snow is melting. The air is warm and we have spent the past three days outside.

Playing on the deck

The results of rolling off the deck.

Oh wait, not so bad.

So, the early spring seeds are in. The peas (Amish snap and regular sweet peas) are in the side yard. Lettuce, spinach, and broccoli all went in boxes next to the deck. Yeah!

We love Grandad!

Puppy hugs are the best!

Dad and Medchen snuggles

Yeah for Zachy hugs

Cool 'do Grandad

Ben is pretty desperate to stand these days. He's army crawling and rolling everywhere too.

Yeah swing!

Medchen enjoys the sun

Andrew put together a pea trellis. No more tangled messy pea shoots for us!

Happy Boys

He's one of us! Ben is enjoying pork pie!

Looking like a big kid

Oh, you mean I am supposed to say cheese and smile AT the camera?

A Day at the Hospital with Dad

Well, as many of you know, my dad is pretty sick. We had quite the scare this week when he went to the hospital with chest pains and shortness of breath last week. With the application of excellent medical care, Dad seems to have weathered the latest crisis. So, he was up for a grandkid visit!

Wanting to sit in Grandmere's lap, but wanting to wiggle too!
