summer & 2 kids= 2 x's the fun

Summer has come and before I blink I am sure it will be over. We've been having lots of fun with our garden. Hopefully we'll get a good harvest... if the deer can continue to resist our oh-so beautiful and tasty veggies. Last year I tried to keep them out with a wall of thistles-- didn't work, so this year we are trying a fence. So far so good! Azure and Ethan are getting bigger and smarter too. Azure turned 4 in May and told me that she knows everything...Can't believe that has started already...thought it was a teenage thing. Fun times ahead!! Ethan doesn't really move around yet. He's probably figured out that sister is more than willing to tote him around. I left the room for a minute and when I returned Ethan had been moved from his bouncer chair to the floor. No big deal right? WRONG! This took place in the living room where we have a slate floor. I about had a heart attack, but learned parental supervision is a MUST for the kids to survive. Don't forget to look at the pics of my 2 cuties. And please remember that Azure likes to pick her own outfits, as well as fix her own hair.

freedom of expression

Azure has been going through this "it's my choice" phase. So for about a week her "choice" was to wear underwear for a hat. Don't worry we didn't leave the house and they were clean. She is definitely her own person and we love her for it.

New Baby

Wow I am so behind! Ethan was born January 18th @ 11:25 p.m. He was a little guy @ 6# 15oz. He is much bigger now. We love having him in our family. So far we have been blessed with very mellow babies. Azure has become quite the drama-queen, however. Maybe Ethan will remain calm throughout life, cuz really, Azure creates about all of the drama we can handle. More updates to come.
