almost a year old!

I am sorry that I do not blog much now. When I have time I am working on baby books:) I finally finished our adoption story book-there is just something about having something to pick up and read and be able to one day give our kids that I really want to have.

The boys are doing great. They are SO active now and keep me busy every moment of their waking day. They love to take everything and anything out of or off of whatever they can find-cupboards, tables, drawers, window sills...they love to climb up and down the stairs (or whatever they can climb on), they love to explore and play with balls and sticks and eat dirt and sand (handful after handful). They both go around pointing at things saying "DAT, DAT"-it seems to me like they are saying "look at that mom, that is something I would like to touch, or that is something that looks interesting"...it is usually lights, fans, or things they know they may not touch (fireplace, light sockets, etc...)...

I am loving being a mom, I am exhausted often and currently very hot and missing my air conditioned office during the day (its been about 100 degrees all week long), but would not choose to be anywhere but here with my sweet boys playing and teaching and loving them:)

Here are a couple pics, the first is of the boys on their new slide that our friends the Nicolls recently passed on to us (Eli in Orange, Caleb in Blue). The second picture was taken just this morning-they love their new beach balls from Auntie Sarah. It is too warm for clothes today! Eli is in front in this picture.
