"Mama" wins!

After a few weeks of rattling off "patadadatatadadada" and "uhhhmamamamamma", our darling Cole today said "Mama"! It was really more like "mummum", but I'll take it! Whoohooo! Finally something out of his mouth other than drool or green beans (we do not like green beans, don't even THINK about making us eat that has been the general response). Very exciting.

As I was leaving the house this morning, Grady started with "uhhmamamamammamama". Excellent!

I am having all sorts of trouble loading pictures lately, so keep checking back for those pictures I've been promising for a while.

UPDATE: Happy Birthday, Papi!

The boys and I just got done serenading Keith with a hearty rendition of Happy Birthday. You may not know this, but Grady can squeal ridiculously loud and in tune. He's not always singing the same song that we are, but he makes a joyful noise. Cole chose to bring instrumental accompaniment by chomping his 6 teeth onto the plastic side of his pacifier.

Anyways, we all say happy 30th birthday Papi! We love you, you rock.

Here the boys brought their first breakfast in bed offering to their dad. Picture is a little dark because it's really early. Really, really early.


Later: Sadly, birthday weekend is over! It was a great one though. We went to the Atlanta Botanical Garden, where we looked at all sorts of flowers we wanted to stuff in our mouths. Good times! Saturday we had friends and family over, and Cousin Evan even came! We haven't seen him in forever. Then Sunday we headed up to a corn maze, again fun! Enjoy some pictures from our weekend, click on the picture below to go to the album:

Keith Turns 30!

Better than nothing

Well, it's not the pictures I've been promising you, but here is a short clip for those of you who have not gotten to see the boys lately. Notice how Grady gives you the once-over at the end. He's so funny! Another clip will be uploaded later and more pictures sometime this weekend.

Coming soon!

Pictures coming soon, I promise!

We're back!

Have you missed us? We're back from vacation, and have been busy, busy. More later, once I get all the pictures uploaded and can regale you with tales of Arizona and Grandpa Lourens' 60th birthday party.

Until then, enjoy the picture of our cute boys and refrain from reaching towards the computer screen to pinch cheeks.
