Welcome to our new addition!

We recently took in one of our sitter's dogs to live in our home. Indie is a six year old, chocolate labrador. She recently had a litter of puppies (she was accidentally bred to the sitter's great dane) but was spayed during her c-section of 13 puppies. She is so calm, friendly and follows us everywhere. The boys are so excited to have her and Maggie now.

Happy Birthday Noah!

Noah turned 3 years old this past week. He wouldn't let us sing Happy Birthday until there was cake and candles. Knowing that Noah is not a big cake eater and knowing we would have cake for his party a few days later, I tried to find the one thing he might eat-and that was doughnuts. We told Noah we were have doughnut cakes and he asked if we were going to church to find them (we have them every week). I told him I bought our own, we put in a candle and sang "Happy Birthday." He did have some trouble blowing out the candles, but finally did it.

Christian and the cake

Here is Christian as he enjoyed Noah's cake.

Noah's Potty Cake

When our friends, Nathan, Michelle, Ashley and Jacob came to visit, we had a "potty" cake for Noah. He worked so hard during the week before to use the potty and potty trained fortunately very easy. For each time he went on the potty, he earned a sticker and he chose for those stickers to be the number of candles on his cake. At that time we had 24 candles on the cake. In the previous video you saw how much Christian enjoyed the cake.

The Boys and the Frog

Here are some other pictures of the boys with the frog.

Noah and the Gloves

The other day Noah found my winter gloves. Next thing we knew he was on the kitchen floor, talking to himself with the gloves on his feet and he was trying to tie them together. We don't often know what is going on in his head, but he is very creative.

Christian and his Cake

I'm trying to get the slideshow working to view Christian enjoying his first birthday cake, but here are two good ones.
