A Few Pictures for the Grandmas

Peter is three weeks old already! Hard to believe. The time has flown, and yet it seems as if we've had Peter with us forever. We've now been on our own for a week, and so far no toddler casualties...many close calls though. Benjamin has had some pretty trying moments, especially on Sunday when we got home from church around nap time. When he really wants a reaction out of us, he knows to jump on the bed around Peter's head or poke his eyes or soft spots. But he still says he loves him and gives him gentle hugs. I think this picture is funny. Lots of two-year-old attitude.

Here's his Halloween costume. He picked a dog costume this year at a second-hand store. He really enjoyed trick-or-treating in our mostly elderly neighborhood. There weren't too many other kids to compete with for the good stuff!

Devouring the spoils.

Three weeks old.
Benjamin was releasing some creative energy tonight. Here's my three boys!

Oh, this all sounds so familiar. The love hate relationship. You've gotta love it.
Benjamin makes a cute little dog. How nice to have the whole neighborhood to yourselves for trick or treating.

I just loved the pictures. Thank you for the update. Peter has changed so much in a few short weeks! Looks like he is getting plenty of nourishment, too. Love you all -- especially the cute little Halloween dog! Love, Momo

Those last two pictures just seem so cozy. Little happy family just relaxing.

By the way, are you guys going to be able to make it to the 'reunion' this coming summer?

So fun! I love the "boys" picture. I wonder if you'll ever even out, or if you're gonna be the mom of just boys? I wonder the same thing about my lopsided equation... Time will tell, I suppose! :)
