Helping
April 14, 2008
The boys were very helpful yesterday. They played outside nicely while we mowed the yard. Then, they helped pick up grass and put it in the garden cart so we could dump it in our composter. After that, we filled up some buckets with water and dumped them on top of the grass.
Andy and Owen are very big into saying grace at meals. At the end of grace, Andy says “Amen”. Owen says “Omen”. We’re counting down the days until Mimi and Papa come home. We checked on their house on Saturday, and the boys played outside for an hour. We’re finding that the boys are more likely to sleep all the way through if they get enough exercise and enough outside time.
The boys have been going to sleep very easily for us, which is nice.
We only have a couple of pictures this time.

Healthy
April 6, 2008
Well, we’re finally healthy again (knock on wood). Andy received a clean bill of health from the doctor on Friday–that was his followup appointment for his pneumonia. And even better, the boys have gone to bed at 9:00 the last three nights and slept through! Nancy and I aren’t sure what to do with all that sleep 
We’re back to Gymboree now, which is good. It’s been almost three weeks where we haven’t been able to go.
We went to Home Depot again yesterday. Andy was cute–as we walked in, he said, “Which way to the kids’ clinic?” The boys continue to have running conversations–they just sit and chat, especially when we’re driving. They like to point things out to each other and explain things.
We went to a green home and garden show last week. The boys had a great time. We got to pretend to drive a Prius–that’s what the driving pictures are from. One of the places selling windows and patio doors had a demo sliding glass door set up that was just the size for the boys. They must have spent 15 minutes opening and closing the door and going through it.
