Lately....

1. Jonas got a great new bed:) He LOVES it! There is good space underneath for toy storage and playtime too--and the tent tops it off perfectly.  The upgrade was long overdue...now we just need to convince Sister to get over her love affair with the pack n' play that she has slept in since she was a newborn---so she can upgrade to the regular crib! Not sure when that will happen...

2. We celebrated my dear sweet Mother's birthday with the most delicious cake in the whole entire world (no really, it is). Chocolate Symphony (yup, this was the same kind of cake that was served at our wedding and we live close to the bakery, so very special occasions merit a cake of their own:)
 








3.  These two boys bring me so much joy.  Brothers are simply best buds from the beginning! And, yes, everyone, August really does look just like Jonas---his eyes are a bit different--more bold blue and shaped slightly differently, but other than that, a cookie cutter of his brother--dimple chin and all:)

4. And lastly, Yay Fridley!  From one little toothless tiger:) (and his Mommy is NOT complaining:) Nope, not one bit. Those chompers can stay put for several more months as far as I am concerned!
