3 Months Old

Ezra's a quarter of the way through his first year and we think he's as cute as ever. Max is discovering that he likes to play with his brother and lately they've been looking at books together.


Max says: "Thanks for the box of fun things Grandma Lillie!!! I especially love the binoculars and the ninja turtle mask!"

The Get-Up

We've had some requests for a shot of Ephraim in his get-up. For those of you wondering about the stetson, its a traditional part of the cav uniform (cav as in cavalry as in the big horse head on his unit patch). Giddy-up!

A little tummy time...

Max got a new slide. Its been a big hit!

Bowl-a-rama

Monday was a holiday for us since Ephraim left on Wednesday for two weeks of gunnery. We spent the day together and Max had his first experience bowling. It was lots of fun but we should've quit after the first game. Now we know- 10 frames is plenty for a 2 year old.

The approach.

The roll.

Darn that 7-10 split.

Triumph!

Happy Halloween...and Father's Day

These days, everyday is Halloween around here. Max has been really into dressing up in hats and the other day he wanted to wear his dragon suit. Far be it from me to stifle my toddler's creativity. Father's Day was a hit. Ephraim was spoiled with a delicious steak dinner and coconut cream pie and we were spoiled to have Ephraim home with us. This summer is full of in-field training time for Ephraim's unit so we're excited every time he has a spare moment to spend with us! He's an incredible dad and Max and Ezra (and I) adore him. Our boys also have great grandpas. Happy Father's Day to all!
