A walk in the park... hee, hee!

Usually I feature our good and happy moments, but that is not always the case!  This past month has been challenging in many ways.  It seems that everyone is short with each other and the new stage bubble is bursting for each of our kids.  Milestones are at the horizon... Walking, talking, understanding, drawing- they are all trying so hard to reach the next step in their development journey.  Our patience is being tested and we hardly ever make the 'A'  (or even a B or a C) in that category!  At the end of the day (after they have gone to bed) we talk about how much we love each one of our kids, but some days all we want is to get to that point of them sleeping soundly in their own beds so we can have our 'down time'!  I guess that is why God made kids sooo stinkin cute... Just looking at their cute little faces makes us quickly forget how much work they require!  We know we are blessed with these wonderful little boys :). 

We took them to park before church a couple of weeks ago to try to burn off their energy before having to sit quietly on the pew for an hour.  Good thing we did, they got their gripes, climbs & loud cries out and sat as peacefully as 3 little boys can during the service. 

Let the complaining and screaming begin... We are going on a walk!

Run Kyle, run!  How did you get so tall, so fast?

Doesn't he look ornery to you?  Well, he is!

Get those climbing urges out on places that you are supposed to climb!

Tree climbing is on of our new favorite activities...  too bad there aren't too many trees that are big enough to climb around our house, we found a gem that day!

Sorry daddy, it has been a long morning already!
