Taco night

Thought I'd snap some pics of the boys eating some tacos...

Roman and the Stairs...

So many times we parents have experiences that make our hearts skip a beat. When you realize "Oh my God, something terrible could have happened". Today, I had one of those moments. I was sitting in the La-z-boy, pumping, and Todd was downstairs working, both boys were with me. Shortly, I heard Lance talking to Todd. I thought for a moment if I should get Lance so Todd could get some work done, then I realized that Roman was not inmy sight... and things were quiet- the hallmark of something going horribly wrong. I ran toward the basement stairs and realized in horror that Lance had left the basement door open. I looked down the stairs and saw Roman halfway down, sitting on a stair, smiling at me. THANK GOD he's ok. I then watched him go down the rest of the basement stairs, backwards- like he's supposed to. So, I guess Roman knows how to go downstairs- and I got a little reminder to keep an eye on him! Whew!

Storytime!

Here's a sight I'm looking forward to for many years to come. Reading books with my two boys! I love Lance's dimples, and Roman's big eyes!

Lance shakes of an injury for some more motorboat with Katie

An injured foot will not stop Lance from a good mround of motorboat. He shakes it off, and jumps back into the fun... and Graham can't get enough!

We had our friends the Greens over, and Lance, Katie and Graham had a blast together!

Roman climbs over the coffee table

Our resident monkey loves to climb on the coffee table- or in this case- over it!

Lance's classes

Lance began his next session of swim lessons. The first class went smoothly, but the next two were a little rough. He is at the point where the parents don't go in the water with him and he is a little unsure of things. Every class is better, and this is a great step to prepare him for the real swim classes in the future. It's also loads of fun!

He is also taking a Creative Movement class. He has only had one so far, and he watched it instead of participating, but we'll see how it goes. He LOVES to wear his dancing shoes, though!

Bath time!

Lance and Roman really enjoy thaking their baths. Lance was avoiding the camera, but Roman was ready for a few closeups!

Happy New Year!

This year we were supposed to go up to my Uncle Ralph and Auntie Debi's cottage at Silver Lake. Unfortunately, Roman was running a fever and not feeling well, so we decided to stay home. We had a quiet evening in and were joined by Uncle Moose, Magnus, Megan B, and Hannah B. Roman cashed out at around 10pm, but Lance partied until 12:30! We made the most of it, and had a great time.
