High Five

Chris (L) thinks this is a great ride while Aiden (R)isn't too sure about having to sit in the back seat.

Chris (L) and Aiden (R) are very busy reorganizing the fridge. It is a daily task for the boys.



Look CLOSELY in the middle: A wolf???? or coyote ??? in our backyard on Wednesday. Its a distant picture taken through our sliding door and screen porch, hence the fuzziness.



Aiden (L) and Chris (R) move quickly to try to catch the cat as she jumps off of the back of the couch and is on the move.

Christopher got a chicklet! His first little tooth is finally poking its way through the bottom with what looks like a second tooth not far behind! I am not sure if he is proud or just feeling better but he is smiling more than ever to show off that pearly white!

Our week has been off to a great start. Grammie Hopkins came over on Monday and Tuesday morning to allow me to get some work done for Mike and to get out to do some grocery shopping. It is SO nice having that extra set of hands to free up some time for me to feel "accomplished." Aiden and Chris continue to show off every time she comes to visit. Grammie has also gotten really good at wearing soft shirts and sweatshirts, making it simply irresistible for the boys to want to cuddle with her!

The snow this morning was a bit of a set back and we postponed our walk until this afternoon with the hopes that our neighbors will take the time to clear the sidewalks in front of their houses. We shall see. Our excitement for the afternoon is that there was a wolf or coyote in our backyard! I was mixing a bottle before the boys nap and happened to look out our kitchen window to find quite the surprise. I took the picture on the blog through the backdoor and screened in porch, hence the "zoom" features didn't work to their full capacity. It was fun to see while we were safe inside but the idea of the boys and I being outside playing this summer intimidates me a bit. Maybe I should learn to shoot a bow and arrow or something?!? Mike has ALWAYS wanted a gun but as a mom with little ones, that idea is not something that I am too fond of. Time will tell. If our big, furry friend makes more guest appearances, I may have to reconsider. And yes, Mike has that in writing :)
