Random Photos of the Last Few Weeks

What a weird world we live in, where Gabe is putting masks on his stuffed animals. As a side note, my cousin’s daughter gave him this doggie and he’s definitely now one of the special guys. He’s Timmy’s Daddy, and has been named Timmy Jr.



I don’t remember what he was supposed to be doing, either making sure Josy didn’t get his head underwater or didn’t splash or something. Either way, I think he got distracted and he definitely won’t be in charge of keeping an eye on Josy is the tub...



Gabe was snuggled on my lap with Timmy and it felt so much like all those months where we’d sit and snuggle for hours. I’m so glad that he still loves to snuggle.



This one is getting coordinated enough to do things like walking and drinking water at the same time. He’s getting so big!!!



A sunny day meant animal crackers in the front yard, like we did every day at the beginning of quarantine. Also, their outfits matched and it was super cute!!



He figured out how to drop his toy into my coffee so he could slurp the coffee off.



He was not happy when I told him to stop...



The cat has been in trouble lately. One of our neighbors doesn’t like her and he took her to the pound last weekend. That was a big dramatic thing, but she’s been significantly more snuggle ever since. Now we just need to train her to avoid his yard...





Josy is now wearing the Uncle Nathan outfit. Gabe wore this outfit when Nathan came up for Mitchell’s wedding...when Gabe was 2.5. Josy is 15 months...

Easter Eggs and Cars

-

My friend had surgery again, so her two kids are staying with us, which had been fun. It definitely has made our house fuller…and noisier… But they’re good kids and we’ve had a lot of fun. Monday we dyed Easter eggs. Josy ended up not participating, but the other three had a great time. Gabe was very proud of his special egg, where he painted the three crosses. The next day, Josy got to dye eggs with Cathy and Gabe missed out, so it all evened out. Also, Josy dyed eggs at school on Wednesday, so we have lot of eggs around here… Then the kids all made cars for Awana. Luckily I’d just gotten two very large Amazon boxes for a work project, and they worked perfectly. So we had several days of construction and lessons about knife skills. And now we have two very large cars taking up the majority of the living room… But they’re very proud of them and are having entirely too much fun with them.

A Very Cold Day

We had another round of ski lessons yesterday. Unfortunately, it was cold. Very, very cold. Realistically it was just the wind chill. We would have been fine skiing in the teens, but the wind knocked it down and extra 15 degrees and that was too much. Pat and I took our gear, but decided it was way too cold, so we hung out in the lodge waiting for the boys.  A half hour into the lesson, I got a call from a friend that works up there that Josy was in the office. He’d made it a half hour before deciding that it was too cold to ski. So he hung out in the lodge with us. Gabe made it the whole time and didn’t want to quit to come inside. But Pat told him no and as soon as he came in, he realized that his fingers and ties were numb.  We ate lunch and then headed home. Hopefully the weather will be more pleasant next weekend…

A Car Wash

Spring is finally here and it feels so good!! I mean, it still freezes overnight, which makes for sound very cold morning runs, but then it’s warm during the day. In fact, it was so warm, that Gabe wanted to run in the sprinkler. Pat had screwed the sprayer on so tight that I couldn’t get it off, which was the only reason he didn’t… Instead he decided to wash the car. I’m not going to say that the quality of the car wash was the best, but I will not complain about a kid wanting to wash my car. Yesterday there was a sports team doing a car wash fundraiser and I was going to take the car in, but Gabe was proud of his washing job, so we didn’t. I think my car is going to look like this for a while… Then we got dinner at the food trucks and headed home for a fire and s’mores.
