Busy, busy

I apologize for the lack of posting as of late. I will try to get some on in the next day or so. Between job interviews, the typical childhood viral infections, life in general,and, oh, and another babe on the way in June... we are still working toward a new norm...

Good news-- passed my specialty boards for Infectious Diseases, and Caleb hopefully gets his walking boot off tomorrow!!

Andy and I leave at the end of next month to visit Tanzania.. so be thinking of the grandparents who will be enduring the crazy for a week!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Christmas time


Our little elves helped us decorate

Aidan decorated the tree this year, note the cluster of ornaments

Aidan really enjoyed and stayed with the task very well this year! We made sure we had mostly non-breakable ornaments (of course due to lil brother)

Aidan took quite literally that the stockings are "socks"-- don't worry Nana, we got the dog hair off!

We measured last Saturday in Disney movies


This is what Caleb and I spent last Saturday doing... it happened Friday afternoon, and all Aidan could tell us was that he had "smushed" him... All over the hospital they had the same Disney movie playing, so as we moved from waiting room to room, etc, we could follow the plot... (or at least I could). We saw 3 movies: Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast, and the beginning of Aladdin. That is when you know you have been there awhile...!

Not surprisingly, Caleb remains his typical high energy and hasn't slowed him down at all (just makes him more injurious to others!)

Bathtime is quite the trick, again, the rice cakes (their bag) come through for us!

On the farm


Aidan playing pingpong

Found a wooly worm

Caleb had to be coaxed to pet the chicken

Not soon after, the poor chicken was trying to take cover!

The three musketeers at Papa's koi pond -- you should feel sorry for the koi...

Aidan loving on baby Ben-- someone has to make up for Caleb's body slams of poor baby Ben

The pianists!

The age (s) of discovery


Looking for spiders at the park

I love how they travel in a pack

Brothers

When I asked Caleb to say cheese, he said, "no"
