Rusty Keyboard.

I guess I'm out of practice! I can't think of what/how to write...

I s'pose after all our excitement this summer I feel somewhat mundane posting about the everyday. Even though we have been extremely busy.

Marc is into the full swing of the musical so we don't see much of him lately. The boys and I get along fine, though, with many dates in the dirt pile, a class at the Rec Center and endlessly chugging around the toy track. Trains are our favorite activity as of late. The boys spend the majority of their time negotiating ownership of our few engines (thanks to Grandpa) and engineering them around the track and through their constructed tunnels.

Our class at the Rec Center.

Last Friday we took the boys to another football game (the 2nd this year). We only stay for about 5 minutes. The first game did not go well. There was so much commotion that Jax was asking to go home after 2 minutes, Desmond did ok but was fairly clingy with all the noise. This last one was much calmer (smaller crowd) and the boys had a good time.

Jaxter's first football game - not a fan. We are sitting with our good friend Marilyn.

Jaxter's second game - much better

Desmond's third football game - old hat by now, he just likes hangin' with Dad.

Yesterday we got to have a morning playdate with our little friend Kenan. He came to our class with us and then we headed home for some lunch and playtime. Desmond and Kenan loved playing together and Jaxter just sorta took it in stride.

Lunch time at the kid table.

We started going to the church for a ladies Bible study once a week in the morning. The boys play in the nursery while I chat with the ladies. The boys also get a night alone with Dad once a week because I have started helping with the Youth Group which has been fun and challenging.

Here's a few movies from life recently (because, truth be told, videos are just more fun than plain pictures), see you soon.

Jaxter doing his best at whistling.



Desmond perfecting his whistle.



Desmond singing twinkle twinkle... he is very much into singing songs these days and he knows a lot almost by heart. =)
