Big Brother & Little Brother

2 Months

And he's all smiles!

Ok, so I am well aware that the amount of pictures here is excessive, but just look at that face! (I mean seriously...isn't that the cutest little dimple in his cheek you've ever seen?) I just can't get enough of him. He now spends most of his awake time gazing at me with that sweet smile and the occasional giggles are starting to squeak out as well. Such a precious age. Gaze with me...

So cute I can hardly stand it!

The Chef

A Startling Conversation

(This all occurred during a wild game of pretend church. We had just gotten our "cups of juice" when...)

Alex: Mom! Let's go to the Satan farm now!
Me: You want to go WHERE?
Alex: The Satan FARM! It's so fun there! (He was really excited at this point!)
Me: You want to go to the SATAN FARM???
Alex: Yeah the Satan mill farm! The place with the juice!!!
Me: Oh the CIDER mill farm?
Alex: Yeah with the animals and the juice!

(Inwardly I breath a sigh of relief as my son does not want to play games about Satan...)

The Yellow Giraffe

1 month old

When we told Alex we were having a baby he said he wanted to buy the baby a giraffe for a present. So, of course we found a giraffe for Alex to give Asher when he was born. I've decided to take Asher's picture with the giraffe each month so we can watch him grow next to Alex's special gift. Stay tuned for more pictures with Yellow Giraffe.

They're Just Too Cute!

Cider Mill Fun

Last Friday we took the boys to Lattin's Cider Mill for some early fall fun. We were expecting a sunny afternoon, but of course Mr Weatherman should have predicted cloudy skies as always. We made the best of the chilly weather and enjoyed ourselves! A sweet family leaving the farm offered us their leftover goat food. I would never have paid for goat food expecting that Alex would NEVER let an animal eat from his hand, but surprisingly he REALLY wanted to and loved feeding the goats. However, he almost burst into tears when one particular goat not only ate all the food he had left, but snatched the paper bag out of his hand and ate that too. He's still talking about how silly that goat was for eating his bag!
