Pictures, pictures

While I have [maybe] five minutes before the boys wake up, I thought I'd post some pictures from our trip last weekend to Hilton Head.


The star of the weekend's visit: Baby Sebastian, Evan & Grant's cousin

Despite high winds, G&G Terreri took Evan to the beach where he learned about sea gulls.

At G&G Terreri's house, Evan plays with vintage toys from days of yore.

And he gets to eat ice cream. Chocolate ice cream.

And on this trip to Hilton Head, we went on what I'm calling the "Three Hour Tour" on our friend Kevin's Willy Wonka boat. Would have been a perfect trip. Except the motor failed. And the last hour was spent paddling.

But we had fun anyway. Evan had lots of fun.

Grant had fun. Except for the last hour.

My two boys

Doesn't Grant look so big here? I think it's the jeans.

Date night

Evan & I had our first-ever date night this past weekend. I took him to go see a local high school performance of Beauty & the Beast. This kid just loves music and he's watched Beauty & the Beast a time or two, so he's familiar with the story. He was completely enthralled with the live performance. He sat still through all two-and-a-half-hours of it! Even I was getting antsy and tired! And apart from a few well-timed outbursts (like, "Ok, go!" when the theatre was completely silent and we were waiting for the show to start. all of the rows in the front end burst into laughter, so it was ok.), Evan behaved excellently.

Baby standing

Grant has been standing for a while now, but we realized that there are few pictures of it. And to follow our tradition, we had to have a crib standing picture.

Postage paid

All sales final. Buyer beware. Seller not held liable for any ensuing damages.

E-U-5-R

"That spells Evan!"

We're working on our spelling. One out of four isn't bad, right?

Where, oh where has my little boy gone?

Nope, not here.



Nope, not here either.


Oh, here he is, snuggling with his ni-night bear. Some things still remind me that he's just a little boy.

For the love of a younger brother

[if you look closely, you can see Evan slowly inching Grant off the piano. ahh, the love.]

Hand me down a baby

Besides the fact that I just love this picture of Grant, it also showcases the many hand-me-downs from Evan (from the tip of his toes to the top of his head, and toys too!) (that was way too much alliteration, sorry; it's late).

Another giveaway (at my other blog)

Go check it out! I'm giving away a vintage-style silver necklace, a very unique piece. Here's the link: http://repurposeful.wordpress.com/2009/03/03/product-spotlight-giveaway-mama-goes-green/

Good luck!

Winter wonderland and other photos

This is what we're looking at in our back yard today:

It's been snowing since 11:30am and still going strong!

The boys, pretending to play together.

Portrait of Baby Grant, entitled "Me & My Shadow."

Evan & friend Tai played their little hearts out last night (until 11pm!). At one point in the evening, they decided hats were a necessary accessory.

Don't let this innocent look fool you. He's sneaky.
