camera dump

 i had a couple of very randomly full memory cards that i dumped today. here were some of my findings of our every day.

1. peanut butter and jelly sandwiches.

every single day without fail the boys eat one for lunch. grey now eats an entire sandwich and tuck sticks with halfsies. it's usually accompanied by a cheese stick, some grapes, and a lot of silly.

2. good ol' fashioned play time.

these three boys are becoming fast friends. grey and tuck are letting will into their brotherhood and it's fun to watch. whereas most of our time is spent outside in this perfect weather we've had, they never fail to include the littlest brother in almost every activity he can be a part of.

3. EARLY mornings.

now that the tuckmeister is in his big boy bed, he gets up when he wakes up. and it's early. like 5:00 some mornings. and he tends to wake up grey while he's at it. 

it just so happened that saturday morning while matthew was camping, ALL THREE boys were up at 5:30 a.m. we snuggled up and watched some cartoons for most of the morning until i could down a few cups of coffee.

4. these four.

 

these guys play together every afternoon. grey and tuck adore adam and krista. adore them. we pray for them every day before naps and every night before bed. we thank God for them at meals.

we are so blessed to have them as our neighbors. i love that our boys are able to make memories with these guys.  they are forever on a ship being chased by bad guys or playing house or running from evil zurg, aka tucker. 

5. food, FINALLY!

will is consistently eating food. he i actually opening his mouth now! he has obviously been getting what he needs from me so i haven't been pushing it too hard but seriously?! he'll be 7 months old this weekend. he loves bananas and sweet potatoes. so proud of that little man. it's been a long time coming.

6. tucker time.

though this deserves an entirely separate post i will say that he and i have some special time monday and wednesday mornings while will is napping. we talk at the sink while he helps me do dishes. we hunt for acorns. we color pumpkins and apples. and we bake together. time well spent.

he also comes up with some stellar outfits. while searching for pecans.

7. bike riding.

grey got his cousin jacob's old bike and he has been a riding machine.  he has fallen off a few times and acquired a few good scrapes. i told him it's not a good time on your bike if you don't skin your knees every now and then. they show that you are playing hard and having fun! 

although he has let up a little on his riding as of late, i plan on taking him out one on one soon for a good ride.

welp, 7 is a good round number of randomness. i'll have to do this more often!
