Corban Walks

Sorry for the quality. I'm not sure if I didn't have enough lights on, if we have a problem with our camera, or if you are witnessing Harmattan.

Where...what...how did he do that?

It's happening again...

What is it with boys and climbing?!

Tree Planting Photo Documentary

We have a small tree outside our gate that Brett decided to move to a new place in our yard.
Of course, Caden is his trusty sidekick.

Materials needed: big shovel AND little shovel
Task one accomplished. Big tree, little tree.
Tree...umbrella...what's the difference? It's still cool to carry it myself!
New home for big tree and little tree.
Add a little dirt...
...and a little water...

....and voila! Project completed.
Thanks guys!

Get Ready To Laugh

What parent hasn't done this with their kid's hair?!Corban wants to be in the middle of the fun but then sometime freaks out when he realizes where he is.

Caden: "Daddy, make a snowman!"
This is what happened...
Caden refers to anything that has been stacked up as a "snowman"....pillows, people, etc. And how does our child that lives in Africa know about a snowman??? From the classic video "Frosty", which he received from Nanna for Christmas last year!

And this last picture is just funny. You can title it yourself.

Love my boys!

More Presents

We got a special package in the mail this week from our sweet friends on our Mission Committee (Thanks Arlene!) So, Caden got to have a second party of opening up presents. There were three birthdays in this box: mine, Caden, and Corban's. Unfortunately, there are no pictures of me opening my presents (although I did enjoy the anticipation of what was beneath the wrapping) and Corban will have to wait until his birthday at the end of this month. On to the pictures....

Unwrapping presents is hard work and takes lots of muscles.


Pure joy and excitement over new blocks


Sweet! A new movie!


Yes, Caden built that all by himself.


And then little brother came and destroyed it and he had to start all over. These blocks continue to be a source of competition between the boys. Quite entertaining to watch.
