We need to shout about Kevin
Matthew and I were resting in bed about a week ago when we heard Brendan shouting from the office. "Kevin, get in the spaceship! KEVIN! Get in the spaceship, Kevin!" he was so incensed we were rolling around laughing.

The Chase is On

Walking
Gregory has really taken off with the walking lately. I attempted to take a video of it, but Brendan wanted to show he could walk too. I keep waiting for a time when Greg's alone to take another, but who knows when that will happen. He is so steady now! -

I'm always to befuddled to say anything at the time. It happens so fast. Usually at the checkout line, they start admiring my baby, then reach into his stroller and ( Read more... ) -
