Wichita outings

This weekend I took the boys to my parents' house so Tim and my Dad could get some good work done on our bathrooms. (Notice how that's plural???) Oh the joys of trying to get your house ready to go on the market.

We had a great time in Halstead! We saw a show at the Children's Theater in Wichita -- If You Give a Mouse a Cookie. The boys really enjoyed it, and it was only like 45min long. We also went to Ruby's house, aka my brother and sister-in-law's. They have two dogs and the boys were really excited to see them.

Waiting for the show to begin! There were tons of carpet squares to sit on, but they boys preferred bleachers. 

Boys and Ruby. There's a wreath hanging on the wall behind Spencer, which makes him look like he has crazy-man hair. (Holly took this picture)

The boys never smile this well for me -- again, Holly took this picture 

Starting New

One of my goals is to restart the blog. As we have family in England and Taiwan, I'm hoping to make this a location to keep them updated on how the boys are doing. Of course there are avenues like Facebook I could use, but I really don't want THAT much info out there for everyone to see. You know, all my "friends". Here are a couple pictures to get us started!

KU Women's Basketball

We took the boys to a women's game last week. It was a great family outing and the boys particularly enjoyed Big Jay and Little Jay.

Happy Birthday Tim!!

Kansas Weather

I understand that living here in the Midwest the weather changes all the time. But seriously, on Monday (about 2 weeks ago) we played in the snow and on Friday of that week we were at the zoo in our jackets and sunglasses. Crazy!

Lunch

Enjoying a picnic, inside. We pulled this out for our Super Bowl party yesterday. Have had to eat breakfast and lunch on it.....

January Play Time

After all the holiday hoopla, we've been getting back in to our normal routine. January has been pretty steady for us, and relatively quiet. We've been able to get outside, play with friends and enjoy our family. I will note that Anderson will say every once in awhile, (sigh)"it's not Christmas anymore". Guess it was enjoyable!
