BWA--DURR!!

As we were packing the last of our things for the trek to San Antonio, we heard the squeaky echo of Camden calling for Cayden: BWA-DURR! BWA-DURRRR! Then we heard the return babbles of Cayden growing nearer toward the laundry room. Of course, we've learned not to forget our camera when we are in search of our mischievous sons.

Oh well, it's cheap entertainment. It is, of course, until they start taking the laundry from the basket & try to flush it down the toilet!! Never a dull moment!

Making our hearts Melt!!

There are so many things about these special boys that make our hearts melt.

They often wrestle and escalate in roughness with each other until someone eventually cries, but all in all, they love each other. They get angry with us when we are reprimanding the other. They often give each other hugs, though not as often as they wrestle! Their personalities continue to develop, giving us more chuckles than we could ever have imagined.

Home to San Antonio

It's been almost 2 weeks since we've been in San Antonio. The transition has been difficult, but it is for the best. The boys are just now adjusting a little better. We have met their new pediatrician and she is fantastic!  Since we've been here, the boys have tested their boundaries.

They have washed their hands in the toilet (twice) and thrown a bottle of lemon juice in while they were at it; they have chased the small, 14 year old dog and nearly given it a heart attack; the dog, in turn, has urinated multiple times on our belongings, including the boys pack-n-plays, our suitcases, shoes and sippy cups; the boys have learned to climb on top the ottoman and the cement/marble topped steps; they've eaten dog food multiple times, have discretely taken a bag of animal crackers to their room (which the 4 of us share) and dumped them out, eaten a few, then sucked a few just until moistened, then left them on the floor to "stick";  they've come walking into the kitchen with Q-Tips coming out of their ears from I-don't-know-where; All in all, they are boys!  

We are hoping that our house will sell soon, though we don't have any prospects at the moment. So while we are in this uncertain time in our lives, I must hold on to scripture from Phillipians: In all things I must be content.  

SURPRISED? NOT REALLY!

As I was finishing dinner, I hear Scott holler from the boys' bedroom, "Marissa, come here quick and bring the camera!" As I walked over, I thought to myself, "I don't think there's much that can surprise me with these boys." So I came in, sat on the floor with Scott and watched. Yep, a new trick:

I was baffled that Cayden learned to get in AND out of his walker so soon, but was I surprised? No, not really. They have done so many things in the last couple of months that leaves little room to be surprised anymore. Most of the time it's cute and funny, but when it's not, I remember that they are learning. I have to remind myself that they don't know that poopie is dirty and that they shouldn't open dirty diapers to play with it. =D

So here's to learning new things EVERYDAY!

A Little Bit of Camden

As Scott & I were enjoying our take-out, we noticed that the boys were giggling softly, which often means mischief just as much as quietness does. We came to the living room to find them playing with the take-out bag. Camden was relentlessly trying to get inside. Once inside, Cayden tried to "push" him as though the bag had wheels, causing Camden to topple over. Scott & I were laughing so hard, we had tears rolling down our faces. They are so funny! We never know what they'll think of next!

A Little Bit of Cayden-ader

I thought to myself, "Ahhh, how sweet; those precious boys are laughing hysterically at one another from their beds!" They were waking from a nap and the contagious giggles followed by loud laughter echoed the house. "I wonder what's so funny?!" So I tip-toed to their room, slowly and quietly turned their door nob and took a tiny peek. Behold, there it was..... the source of so much laughter:

Yes, there he was; proud and smiling because he figured out how to put his shirt over his well-endowed head! Then, later, he had crawled on top of the bed rail on all fours and was about to dive for a book on his shelf. Mommy & Daddy caught him just in time before he dove! Now the boys have their mattresses as low as they can go! Thanks Cayden!!
