Chalk Art by Sawyer



It's always this particular section of our back patio / basketball court. And it's usually a similar design, though the colors sometimes change. And yes, that would be a full box of 48 pieces of chalk. We need to by stock in Crayola at our house, apparently.

Water Park Sunday

Sawyer and Aunt Kelly were off on an adventure of their own, so I loaded up Connor and Xander for a day trip to a nearby water park ...

At the Lake

Summers at the lake ... a huge part of my childhood and something I am so lucky to share with my boys since Grandma and Grandpa retired there. Days and nights at the cabin, overlooking the water, grilling out for dinner, going boating and swimming ...

Not So Little Brother Anymore



I was explaining to a former teacher the other day how much bigger Xander has gotten in the last year. He has always been the smallest twin, and as the youngest of all the boys, simply the little one. Not so much anymore. Big brother Connor maybe has about five pounds and two inches on Xander. Sawyer is now the little twin, about 10 pounds lighter and a half an inch shorter. Xander is catching up fast, and if our pediatrician is to be believed, will be the biggest one of them all someday!
