The King and the Golden Bear

No, this is not the title of a long lost Narnia book. Take a look and see what you think it means.

















It was brought to our attention that our boys' hair styles strongly resemble the hair styles of two legends. (Both of whom are known for their skills as well as their hair.)

Did we name the wrong child Nicholas?

Phew, I'm all caught up.

If I catch those boys being cute I'll be behind again. Enjoy lotsa new posts.

DISCLAIMER: I am trying to find a new way to post pictures that doesn't crop them! So, I do have good aim, but Flickr doesn't. Any suggestions?

I'm hands-free bay-bee!

I am in love.



(Right now I am incapable of not looking haggard in a picture. Oh wait, that's because I am!)



Also, hahahahahaha!

Does this bug you?

That's Jacob's motto in regards to Nicholas. He loves to poke, prod, observe and heckle him. Nicholas takes it in stride though, and usually kinda likes it in a weird sort of way.

There's nothing like a nice, refreshing swim

Jacob and Katie love to play in water. They LOVE to play in water. They especially love to play with water in this pool that our neighbors gave us. (Apparently, duct tape really does a good job!) Anyway, they love it. They're always asking to play water. The other day Katharine and I weren't up for the whole "water thing" so they made due. They went "swimming" and "sleeping". They must have turned over 15 times.

Does this mean I'm brilliant?

We think so. Look at how observant our little boy is. That's some serious concentration. And brilliance.

Hutchie Cousins

This is a picture from Nicholas's blessing that escaped my thorough "blog-inclusion-meter". We're a little "boy heavy" on the Hutch side. (The fellow in the middle is the boys' cousin Jackson.)



Is Jacob 7?!? I had no idea! Also, is Jacob doing "El Tigre" or "Blue Steel"? I can't tell...

Some things never change

I guess if you love something once, you'll always love it.





(My baby has grown up!)

Elmo likes to share!

The other day Jacob did this:



and said, "share". Jacob continued to offer Elmo to Nicholas for a while.



(Apparently Nicholas's forehead was bored.) After many futile attempts to get Nicholas to interact with Elmo at all Jacob took him back.



And then he ate his eye.

The Votes are In

Our vast readership has confirmed that Nicholas is, in fact, UBER-CUTE (as if there was any doubt). It seems like every day I am pulling out the camera to document it. So, I have tons of sweet, sweet pics of my little boy with nothing but cuteness to link them together. I guess cuteness is enough.
