So Where Did You Leave it Last?

"So where did you leave it last?" Of course, that is the common question anyone would hear after mentioning they lost something. But after watching a comedian, Tim Hawkins, bring out the silliness of that question John and no longer ask each other where we left it last. I still would like to know the answer...I lost my camera. We've had it for years and I am sure it is just in a bag but haven't taken the time to look too hard. I just keep thinking, "Boy, that sure would be a cute picture of the boys!" Then remember I am not sure where my camera is. Of course, my blog is going to suffer because of my lack of pictures. If I didn't have pictures to add I would probably not have a blog. I've never claimed to be a writer. Engineers are actually known to be horrible at 'English.' I would agree...although my husband is quite good at it. But he is good at everything he does. I am not just getting brownie points for that statement either. He really is good at everything he does. After being together over 9 years, I am still shocked when he doesn't know the answer to one of my questions. It doesn't happen very often but it surprises me still. I guess he is not the walking encyclopedia I think he is at times.

So, back to my subject (and off the fact that I ran on to another subject proven my lack of proper writing)...the camera. Sorry about having any pictures to add. :( I promise my boys had really cute moments last week. I hope to never forget them in my head. Love them!

Today

All these pictures were taken today. It seems like such a long, fun day when I look back on all the boys and I did. Noah and I normally get some play time before Luke wakes up. I think he really likes getting that time together. We started off with some puzzles...
When Luke woke up, Noah had to join Luke on his play mat. They just talked and talked to each other, laughed, and rolled over. It just blesses my heart to see them loving each other.
Another play time on the mat...
And Luke ready to take his bath...Hooray! Hooray for bath time!Of course we had many other events in our day...blocks, coloring, jumping on the trampoline, hide and seek, working on our letters, saying 'bye' and 'I love you' to Daddy as he leaves for work, watching Luke squeal at his airplane mobile, many diaper changes, lots of crying and time outs, Luke and Noah each sitting on Mom's legs singing songs, jumping on the coach, playing with games, playing with trucks, eating lunch and dinner as a family, lots of eating and drink breaks, reading several books, pretend play in all sorts of ways, playing with balls and trains, etc. etc. Life at the Woogies house!

Swimming

Since our pool from last year had a leak in it, Grammy gave us hers. Noah loves it; thanks Grammy. He is finally starting to swim a little more and allowing some water in his face. I think it helped that he swam with others his age at our family reunion. He had a blast then and is really enjoying it now. He even went down the slide into the pool! I am so glad he is loving it now!
Look at that water splashing on him. He had a blast!

Just had to add this picture of my boys. They have their own look but definitely look like brothers! Cuties!

Packing...

We went to Fairview again for July 4th. John's side of the family has a family reunion every year and it is a pretty big deal. We have a blast and look forward to it each year!

So we found ourselves packing again...Noah apparently thought he could travel in Luke's pack n' play. I don't think that would have been legal! I was surprised to see him in it when I walked into Luke's room! He loves hiding. I have yet to have a problem finding him...

We went Friday and came back Saturday night late. But we only came back with Luke. Noah stayed there with Grammy. It was strange only having Luke in the car on the way home. We did some sleep training with Luke while Noah was at 'Grammy camp.' Reading a few books to Luke is part of his night time routine. We started this with Noah when he was 4 months also and it works like a charm! Noah is VERY into his routine and knows when it is time to settle down and go to bed! I am thankful now that Luke also knows how to fall asleep on his own. Yea for Mommy and Daddy time! How sweet is that!
