A rambling update

A few months ago Henry announced to us that he could write his name and proceeded to do so. He's been practicing at school every day and waited until he knew the whole thing before he decided to share it with us. We're so proud of him! He's been writing a lot more every day and is slowly showing an interest in reading the words he sees all around him.

Meanwhile Felix seems to always be peeking around every corner.

For our holiday card Bill caught some great shots of the boys. Getting two kids to look at the camera at the same time AND smile? Truly an impressive feat. Brotherly love is best portrayed through pictures.

Cousin Lily came to visit us over Thanksgiving and the 3 kiddos went to see Santa. Unfortunately Henry and Felix came down with a little sickness the night before but they pushed on through and made the trip to the mall.

Henry is an aspiring rock star.

Felix is usually up to no good :)

Henry went on a fabulous trip to St. Maarten with gma and gpa!

Sailing on the pirate ship and loving every minute!

Felix specializes in making silly faces. This has to be our current favorite.

he wanted to wash it off as soon as we got home. He's growing up way too fast.
