Lew decided to balance his orange pieces on his arm before eating them.  LOL

Lauren hung out with the boys at their father's house tonight.  Photo credit to her.



I had dinner with my Mom.  I get a little choked up every time I see these ugly creatures that my father loved so much.

Guess who is figuring out the iPhone?  Yikes!





At one point today I lost track of Lew.  I found him on Lauren's bed.  He is not allowed in there!!  Little stinker!

Lew is not really getting the concept of what the potty is for.  LOL





Eating yogurt goes really well....until the last little bit,  then he just tries to lick it out of the container.

Today was one nice day sandwiched in between some really cold weather.  So we had to take advantage!

So cute....Lew was putting some of the stuffed animals to bed.  He even kissed each one of them as he put them down.  



My mom and I were just talking today about how Lew pushes the bench around to see what is on the counter,  but has never climbed up.  Seriously...TODAY we talked about that.  Then this evening....

The boys went bowling with Marc and Grandpa.  Apparently Chuck even got a strike!  The only pic I got,  though,  was of Lew sending the ball down the ramp.

Playing at Nana's



Again...tons of toys and he wanted to play with the styrofoam from Nana's new printer.



Selfie by Lew,  LOL

Brothers playing together nicely.  It didn't last forever,  though.  Not too long after this picture Lew launched himself at Chuck and tackled him.  LOL

Spontaneous dancing during lunch.  I love this kid!

Sometimes the mess is worth it.  Lew was fascinated with the salt shaker.  
And he loved playing in the salt.  Have fun,  son....hello Dyson!

Photo credit to Marc:  Our two boys do this all the time....hold hands in the car.  So sweet!

Well...I decided to take Sicky to the doc after more than 24 hours of a high fever.  Turns out he has an ear infection and RSV.  It took 2 hours and 2 nebulizer treatments before they would let us go.  My poor little baby!!

My littlest sicky getting snuggles from Nana.  Nana saved my butt this morning by getting here before 9am to stay with Lew while Lauren and I both went to class.

This is what you get when you combine a sick teen and her loving cat in the big chair.

Big sis makes a wonderful jungle gym.



Taco chili was a hit.  But I think he enjoyed playing with it more than actually eating it.

Today we had Lew's first Parent-Child class of the semester.  Marc and I took him together.  He was a bit reluctant to participate in the art projects,  but enjoyed building with these things!

At home with my kitty.


While at his father's house,  Chuck is checking out the moon with his new telescope.

Those moments when grief punches you in the gut.  This is my little Lew looking at the catalog of my father Lew's trains.  Little Lew was so excited about all the pictures.  It warms my heart so much that Little Lew loves trains.  Perfect.

These packages of toilet paper provided hours of entertainment.  He built towers and knocked them down.  He used the TP as a bed.  He ran across the packages as obstacles.  Why do I buy toys?!

1-9-14

I know I got myself like this,  but I don't like it and can't fix it by myself.  Help me,  Mommy!

1-8-14

Today was dress up in Mommy's things,  apparently.

My little boy loves his grandpa.  It warms my heart to see this picture.  And Happy Retirement to you,  Jim!



Here is the boy after finally falling asleep.  I just love that he is snuggling with his baby doll.  If you can't tell,  that is his butt in the upper right of the crib,  and his head is hidden in the lower right.  Then the doll is next to him.

I hadn't thought about how to deal with pictures on days the boys are gone.  So there may be some days I miss.  Or that I post pics of random things.  Or I post pictures taken by Marc of the boys.  Like this one,  for example.  This is my son Lew walking around with a colander on his head.  Little weirdo.



Here are a couple I took today in the -7 degree weather.

1-5-14

So far we have 10 inches of snow on the ground.  And it is still coming down!  Lew refused to move his feet while in the snow,  but he didn't want to come inside.  Chuck,  of course,  didn't want to join us outside at all.

Lewis goofing around while drinking his nightly milk.

Fun with Lew's new Play-doh set



Chuckles stood still long enough for me to grab the camera....

Fun with Photo Booth,  LOL!
