Lately...

Well, our life seems to be so busy these days after having a new baby, moving, and renovating a house all at the same time. We are (and when I say we, I mostly mean Carl since I am busy watching the boys, but sometimes I have a few free minutes to help wipe grout or throw paint on something) working on our bathroom upstairs. We had torn everything but the vanity out and we have been living with only our bathroom downstairs. We are ready to have one upstairs where we have our bedroom and our main living space, including our kitchen. Other than renovations (and Carl golfing) we have been enjoying our two wonderful little boys. Kelvin seems older each day and actually slept through the night last night! I was very excited to get a full night's sleep. He is such an social baby and makes all sorts of cooing sounds to communicate. He also loves to smile, especially when he sees Preston.

My sister also came to visit for a week, which was wonderful. While she was visiting, we drove to Meridian, Idaho to visit my brother, Lucas, and his wife Leslie. Leslie ran a 5K, which we were able to watch. We had such a good visit and are glad we can live closer to them, even though we miss my sister terribly. Anyway, here are a random assortment of pictures over the last few weeks.

Preston enjoyed when the new bathtub was out on the deck

Here is Preston loading his wheelbarrow full of stuff to take to throw in our trailer. He always says "I'm just helping Daddy do projects."

Kelvin is 2 months old!

Kelvin turned two months old today! He is more alert daily and loves to watch Preston and our dog Dallas. He is a little chunk weighing 15 lbs 4 oz and is 24 inches long! He is 2 lbs more than Preston was at 2 months! He is very smiley, which is so much fun....
