Birthday Buddies

A friend of mine had her baby on the same day as me at a different hospital but with the same doctor. Her parents and my parents are friends and in fact both of our moms were at a baseball game for our brothers, taking care of our other children while we were giving birth. :)

So here are the birthday buddies - Josiah Cooper & Grant Strain

Our Little Nurse

One of Ian's co-workers gave us this little set of scrubs for Josiah. I think he is just too cute!

The Hotel In Arkansas

The hotel where we stayed in Arkansas had an indoor pool. The boys loved being able to go swimming everyday.

The Ever Changing Ben

Ben has a vivid imagination. He is constantly changing what he is pretending to be (I have a hard time keeping up).

The Musketeer - He has been watching the Disney movie where Mickey, Donald & Gooffy are Musketeers.

The Policeman - Every policeman has to take a snack break. (Yes, he is wearing shorts)

The Chef - Ben loves to help me cook.

The Marshall/Cowboy - Doesn't every boy want to be a cowboy at some point in time?

Boys & Mud

What is it about mud that just draws little boys in? My boys just realized that there is a faucet on the back of the house & that Zach can turn it on. So mud was made while Daddy wasn't looking. This is the second day in a row that we have had to hose them down before the could come in the house for naps.

Sidewalk Paint

This is what happens when two little boys are left alone with sidewalk paint.

Cheese

Ian took this video of Ben when they first got home Wednesday and I thought it was too cute!

Finally Home

Well we finally got home from the hospital Wednesday evening and the boys joined us after having stayed with my parents since Sunday night. Here are several pictures of the settling in process.

Ian's parents came Thursday and where able to stay until Saturday. It was nice outside and the boys were able to go out to play and it helped having Grandma & Papa around to help.
