Teacher

This was a happy sight I saw earlier this week. I heard Abel say, "Cyrus, see how works. Drill press."

He might not know proper English yet, but he is already teaching shop!

friends

Abel and Ava were all dressed up in their Easter best and gave us these lovely cheese faces at church. They are such cute little friends.

new view

I just put up the kangaroo for Cyrus. Abel is jealous and Cyrus is tickled with his new vantage point on life.

balance

Life with a toddler, 4 month old and Mommy college student can be a challenge. Today is a snow day so I got to spend more Mommy time!

Bubbles

Abel enjoys playing bubbles. Outdoors and indoors!

Amazing

Michigan summer equals wearing jackets and going barefoot at Lake Huron.

Aunt Amy taught Abel a new word. Now instead of calling the lake a bath, if you ask him about his visit to the lake and the big wave he says 'Mazing.

Harbor Freight

Abel enjoys "reading" newspapers and catalogs. He often exclaims "Oh wow" as he flips through the pages of Harbor Freight. Grandpa shared his most recent Harbor Freight catalog with Abel and we took it on a car trip. He studied it for about half an hour before loosing interest. He also likes flower catalogs, seed catalogs, farming newsletters and has been known to pretend read one of those great big inserts that comes from the pharmacy! Silly little guy even goes "E-E- E," asking me to read the shampoo bottle labels to him.
