It looks like your father dressed you.

Yesterday I got up with the boys, got their showers in, got them dressed and headed to the store so we could make Georgia breakfast. We got home and Georgia started laughing. I had made Avery put Eli's shirt on. Not a bad fit for size, but the length left something to be desired. Lucky it was winter and he had his coat on the whole time.

Happy Valentiness Day

Kershner Fire Rescue

Before Georgia and the boys headed back to Medford for the week I got a few minutes to play with Avery before I went to work. He wanted to play with my Little People toys from when I was a kid. We sent the fire crew to save Rowan and Niamh from the little house. I am not sure who is who? We did eventually get them out and replace them with a mom and a little boy. We also got them out. It is fun to watch Avery getting such a good imagination. He had planned this all out the day before. I saw his face fall when he watched me back out of the driveway and I did not know why. I found out when I got home that I forgot to read his mind and get these toys out of the attic.

Putting things together.

Eli has been doing very well on the potty the last couple of days. We will see if it continues, but every time he makes a trip there is seems to be productive. We are very proud of him. He is every trying to be like his big brother and has started a little collection of topics to talk about when he wants to contribute to conversations. Fist he tells you about Olivia painting on the wall and then getting a time out (from a book). Then he tells you about the dog that got in the yard a left a present and he needs to GET OUT!. Then he also laughs and says Daddy pressed the wrong button. I accidentally honked the horn in traffic the other day. Both boys though that was funny.

I have also been very proud of Avery over the past few weeks. He has been being a very good big brother. He has been very helpful as of late. He has a new bible trivia game from school. It has a spinner so he really likes it. It is over all of our heads so Georgia and I are just making up questions.

Puddle Jumping

Today was a slow day around the house. Yesterday my dad and I spent 4 hours fixing the sink, so I was not in a project mood. Georgia gave the boys each a hair cut and that was about the excitment of the day. Around 4 we decided to head to the river for a few minutes to get out of the house. We put boots on the boys and headed out for some puddle jumping. Thing were going good for the first 4 minutes untill Eli droped his stick into a puttle that was knee deep on him. He reached over to get it and face planted. There are no photos of this part becuase I thought I should pull him out. Man, I am a good Dad. Needless to say he was soaked. Georgia Stipped him naked, put a clean diaper on, and we headed for home. Moral of the story: bring extra clothes when taking kids puddle jumping.

Busy Weekend at Medford house

This weekend was the first time I had been to Medford in a few months. It was a bit odd being back. Despite us all being sick we had a good weekend. Saturday I fixed the toilet. I took off the cloth diaper sprayer and then broke the hose. Ahh the joys of plumbing. The added help from the boys was also a plus. We went to Georgia Holiday Office party which turned out to be a good time. Today we cleaned up the yard and Avery I fixed the sink in the bathroom. This time he was a good little helper and it was a lot of fun. There are a few pictures up on Picasa.
Cute quote of the weekend (I thought). Georgia grabbed Eli to take him for his nap she said "It is time for you medicine". Eli responded "Thant's not funny Momma.
Runner up. After putting the faucet back together Avery asked "Is it mupaired Dad?" yes son it is repaired. Mom Mom the sink is mupaird, Dad and I Fixed it!

2010 Over the hedge

A new year a new decade and a newish town. I can't say that I am sorry to see last year go. I am thankfull for my new job and my wonderful family. I can't thank everyone enough for all the support we have recieved over that last year. Keep you fingers crossed that the Medford house sells quickly and we can be done with that portion of our lives.

Happy new year!
