HA HA HA!

We are so blessed that Taber is a happy baby as it really makes managing 2 little monkeys much less stressful!

Usually we can get him to smile and giggle a little bit by making funny noises and faces, but this morning, he thought his Mama was the funniest person ever, so we wanted to share this cute little video! (P.S. - Deegan makes a cameo appearance).

Peak-E-Boo

As Deegan would say: "Peak-E-Boo ... where are you?"

There they are ... the 3 loves of my life. Somehow they all fit in the tent (I liked to call it a Teepee as I saw it more fitting). JK!

There is not a day that goes by where Eric and I do not find comic relief from our children. When we find ourselves getting frustrated for some reason, one of these little turkey's do something to break the tension and just make us laugh. Since our last post we have done a much better job of slowing down and soaking up these days because you never know how many we will have. In early Oct, Eric's uncle passed away unexpectedly and we packed up the family and made a journey out to Atchison, KS. Deegan was in hog heaven with all the trains and T-Dog was a perfect baby. Though the reasoning for being out there was not ideal, we always love the opportunity to catch up with Eric's friends and gather with distant family. The experience reinforced our prior enlightment that slowing down is good for the soul and we will never have regrets about the time we spent with our kids.

Did I mention comic relief? What a little character.

Yep, I am on a roll ... Here is his 4 month picture when he is turning 5 months in 3 days. Someday I will get caught up but it will not be this month!

Seriously, how is it possible that you grow 2 hearts? Oh we love this munch!

He needs a tan and a mother to wipe the drool under his chin. I have my off days where I think taking a picture first is smart. Whatever.

Taber with Nanny.

Pumpkin Patch: Deegan was such a big boy and sat on the train all by himself this year. I may have been told I could not ride it either which contributed to his solo ride but either way he did it. Ugh, he is getting big!

Not too thrilled that the turtle was stationary. Next attraction please.

Buddy Colin joined us for the fun. These 2 get along great and we cannot wait for the arrival of his baby brother so that Taber has a buddy as well. It will be boy madness in the future but at least everyone has a partner in crime.

This looks like a clothing ad.

This is what happens when you do not keep your eye on the cart ... the boys loaded it up (yes we put most of them back).

Rice cereal is Ummm Ummm Goooood!

You may be asking, what is Deegan for Halloween. Well, he went out as a "Deegan." He was trying to be orginal or he had a great memory from last year in the fact he HATES to dress up for this holiday. The entire neighborhood tried to get him into his costume and this is what it looked like:

"Why do you hate me"

"NOT THE HAT!"

"I'll keep crying until you get me undressed" which we agreed to do. I am not sure this kid is getting a costume next year.
