bloggin'

After recently struggling to put together an entire year of pictures, memories, and stats about Brooks, I realize the importance of the blog. How else am I supposed to remember all of these things? I also realize that there are lots of gaps! Sometimes I don't post because we were simply busy. Other times it is because I am too lazy to get up to get the camera to include a photo. No more! If I am too lazy, I simply will not include one :) The blogs are too important to help me not forget these times.

We spent last weekend in Virginia Beach at Allison, Scott and Quinn's house. We were there to watch the Superbowl. Exciting, particularly for Craig, because HIS team was yet again a contender! Unfortunately, the Steelers couldn't pull it off but we had tons of fun getting ready for the game. Grammie sent a care package with silly wigs, yellow and black leis, face stickers, a cow bell and lots of other Steeler goodies. The boys loved the wigs and we took lots of fun pictures.

This weekend we attended a Chocolate Festival at our Church while Craig spent time putting up new kitchen cabinets. I cannot believe we are doing another kitchen redo!

The boys are both doing great. Brooks is running around this week doing a funny blowing thing from his mouth, while wildly swinging his arms and marching around with great vigor! It is so cute and I hope at some point I can get it on video camera. He is quite the character these days. Cole is as always getting to be such a big boy. He exhausts me recently with the amount that he can talk! Seriously, does he ever stop? Both boys have been going to their own childcare rooms while I have been working out at the gym. Cole has become brave enough to make some new friends there and even went to the other room on Friday where they do something called Kids in Motion. I was so proud of him :) He is a very timid fella when it comes to trying something new and I didn't even have to push him.
