The year is going well

So far the year is off to a good start. Brian and I are planing on a trip to Cali for a make up show. This will not happen until late June still I can't wait. The boys are healthy and doing good. Brian was given a bonus bigger then we have seen in a while. This Oct he will have ten years under his belt at Intel.

Not a baby.

Paul has been learning to crawl this week. This means my bug is no longer a baby. On the same note Nolan is working on potty learning. I am very happy and proud of my boys while at the same time a little sad. I can't help but think that my last baby is growing up much too fast.

Christmas pictures

Today my mom and I took the boys for pictures. Well that was fun or something like that. N spent the time giggling or fake crying. P did really good he only got fussy at the clothing change. We got a few cute pictures they are not perfect by any means. N would jump around and waves his hands during the photos. P has some drool running down his chin and some cradle cap. Stupid stuff is holding on for dear life ugh.
