As you may have noticed, I didn’t do a post last week. We were traveling across the Midwest to visit friends and family and to attend a wedding. So I smashed together the past two weeks’ pictures which means there are 43 pictures for this week. Wow. Enjoy . . .

I have tried to capture and enjoy every precious moment with this guy.

 

Brooks can now make his bed all by himself. He is really proud.

 

 

Mark and Brooks took the train last week to D.C.

Unfortunately, it was 2 hours late and it didn’t arrive until 10:30. As evidenced in this picture.

They got to do some site seeing while they were there. Hello Lincoln.

After their weekend, I picked them up at the station and we headed north.

Hello Cutie. He did really well on the trip.

We love going back to Illinois. There are so many things for the boys to do.

This was their favorite.                                     

Shirts are optional in the country.              

Where is Jonas?                                                             I

I was expecting to not get a lot of sleep on this trip, but this guy started to sleep through the night!

We met new cousins.              

And we got to meet a lot of Grandparents.

Silas was constantly at the table. He quickly learned he could get a lot of “tastes” if he stood there long enough.

I love eating at Grandma’s. Everything is from the garden.

While we were there, the boys needed a haircut. The woman who cut my hair growing up got to cut my boys hair. And Brooks loved it so much he fell asleep in the chair.

The boys also got some quality cousin time.

I wonder if Mark likes story-time as much as the boys do.

After our stop in Illinois. We moved onto Kansas City for a wedding. Everyone was relieved to be out of the car.

Can you spot Silas? The boys had a lot of fun in this hotel.

Hey handsome! He knew he looked good.

Two very seriously cute dudes.                    

Brooks laughed the entire time he walked down the aisle.

And this is how we made it through the reception.

After Kansas City, we drove back to Illinois and stopped at the Zoo.

When we got back we were all craving Sushi. Or maybe I was?

A little morning board games. The boys love anything with Curious George.

Silas was eating a chocolate covered banana and then it was just a banana.

I have started to do science lessons in the afternoon. Brooks was really proud of his seasons chart.

One day we built a Pirate ship. We still have it in our living room.

I was so excited when I saw this at the store! It went home with me and was quickly turned into a dairy free Chocolate Mousse.

He’s 2 months! When did that happen?

I was in the mood for yellows and greens this week.

See you next week!
