Boy stuff and catching up

Last week, Greg took Monday afternoon off since it was my first day being home with both kids by myself. He decided that he and Max needed to go down to the timber and do 'guy stuff' like looking at bugs and sticks, tromping through the woods, playing in the dirt, and throwing rocks in the creek. He's good at making sure Max is 'all boy' like that. :) I was fine with this plan, since it allowed me to make supper with only one baby at home! Here are my two fearless adventurers ready to go on their trek...

Playing by the creek

"Look, Dad! Mud!"

I'm not sure if that's dirt or chocolate, since they nabbed some chocolate chip cookies from Grandma Beutel to take along on their journey. Max looks like he's enjoying himself either way. :)

Greg decided Max needed to be introduced to the creek properly.

I think Max looks like a frog in this picture. :)


Loving the water! (and rocks!)

I've got a couple of random Max pictures, of course...

Pre-haircut...we've started just taking his shirt off for mealtimes. Trust me, a bib doesn't do the job.


Also pre-haircut...wearing Daddy's socks! He'll grow into them... ;)

Greg gave Nora her first bath last week (I think a week ago Saturday already), and I took a few shots of that.

Not too happy about being cold and wet!


Her cheeks aren't this chubby anymore...she was only 3 days old here!


Awww, cuddle bug.


What a dolly!

These last three pictures are much more recent. Here's Nora all dressed up for her first day at church!

Last but not least, our first pictures of the two siblings together...in Nora's defense, I think it was her mealtime. :) At least Max looks happy to be there!




Have a great week, everyone!
