It was a warmish day today so the boys played outside for a little while after I picked Evan up from school.  I was clearing some snow at the end of the driveway and not paying much attention when this happened… Ooops!  No snow pants!  

Who’s there? Boo! Boo who? Don’t cry it’s just a joke! I’m sure you are all familiar with this one. Sometime earlier this winter, Evan began telling knock, knock jokes.  He gets a kick out of them and even makes up some silly ones of his own. Here is Logan’s take on it.

We’ve had a good amount of snow this year but it has been a bit difficult to get out and play in it very much.  It has either been bitter cold or there has been too much snow for Logan to be able to walk and therefore enjoy playing in the snow.  Today we was a day between storms.  About...

This weekend was one full of parties.  First an 85th birthday party for Bumpa at Twin Oaks on Saturday night.  It was a long night for everyone but the kids were so well behaved and it was nice to see all of the Dowdings.  Sunday after spending the morning at Danny and Sean’s, we went to Annalia’s 3rd birthday party....

The slideshow service (Picasa/Flash) has been discontinued, so these photos can no longer be displayed here. Logan loves to build ABC towers with these blocks.  The whole time we are building them, he waits and waits until the...

Last week while Daddy was walking for the NH Rebellion, the boys and I took an unexpected trip to see Papa & Gramma in Florida.  Two weeks by myself with the boys in the cold snowy weather or a trip to warm, sunny Florida to see two of our most favorite people and get some help with these two little...

Occasionally I get a glimpse into what the future will be like when Evan is a teenager. Tough Guy Selfie Cutie Pie Selfie I think we are in trouble! (Especially with that little monkey in the background!)

When did my little guy turn into a technology using teenager??? A boy, his dog, his cup and his phone...what more could you want out of life?   Uh, yeah, did you need something?  I'm kinda busy here.

You may remember this post from when Evan wasn’t quite one.  Well it seems that Logan is following in his big brothers footsteps. I know I'm not supposed to have this but I just have to make one quick call... Walking and talking like a pro Ok, yup, I'll see you at 8 Here you go, Dad.  I'm off the...
