It's Alive!!!



Shameful, shameful. Has it really been two weeks again?! So what's up with us?

Noah has been walking for almost a month now. He is getting more stable and faster... so watch out! He loves keeping up with Braiden and generally can be found heading towards the kitchen in search of a snack (this boy is seriously addicted to Cheerios). He also loves walking on the couch and playing "Timber!!" with Braiden and jumping on mommy & daddy's bed. Click here and here to watch videos of Noah walking about two weeks ago - he's gotten a lot better since!



Braiden is a talking machine! His latest favorite is checking up on everybody; if he is in a different room, we'll soon hear... "Noah... where are you?" or if Michael is at work, he'll yell out "Daddy... are you home yet??"



Noah especially has been catching a lot of sicknesses. He is on his second or third cold of the year, and the rest of us haven't been spared either. Yuck. We feel like we haven't been to playgroup or seen our friends in a looong time! The boys have been playing outside a lot, every chance they get. We had our first real winter storm this week, with first snow and then ice. Braiden loved it! Noah wasn't quite so sure...



The boys have been playing together a lot. With varying results. :) Both seem to be very sharing-challenged at the moment...!





Maybe these future bloggers will do a better job?!

Cute!!!!! Thanks for the new post, pics and videos!! Loved EVERYTHING!! Timber??? What's that?
Hope Noah (and everyone!) gets healthy soon!

Saina said...

It was about time, huh?! :-D

"Timber" is what you say when a tree falls down. It's cute, even Noah tries to imitate the falling down, lol.

Good luck getting everything ready!! Wish we were there!

Sennie said...

Yup :)

Aww - cute! I had never heard of that (I don't remember at least) ;-)

You'd be SO proud of me :) Everything is looking great! I even went through all the toys downstairs (except Legoroom). The boys have helped me tonight vac & mop downstairs, clean bathrooms and Sarah gave Abby a bath. Now I need to get some more energy to bake a cake!
We wish you were here too..

Suloiset veljekset :)
Hauskat videonpätkät.

Ymmärrän hyvin, että olet kädet täynnä työtä!
Toivon, että viruspöpöt jättävät teidät jo rauhaan.
Siunausta & varjelusta!

The fact that you're not blogging often means that you're having a blast in the real life - and that's even better! Blogging should be a fun plus to our daily lives, not a burden. Keep living the way you do!

I am SOOOOO glad that I checked your blog today!
I have been wondering if everything was okay! I was going to ask Sennu today if I hadn't seen anything.
So sorry to hear about the sickness "merry-go-round". =-(
I've been doing the same thing.=-(
I just went to the Dr. again on Tues., and now am on an antibiotic for sinus infection........again.

I love the pics of your guys! LOVE how Noah is soooo talkative! So different than his brother! I love the "Noah....where are you?" etc.!
Toooooo cute!

Stay well, Saina!!

Täällä minäkin mutkien kautta! Ihania talvikuvia. Katselin niitä vedet silmissä, mulle tuli sellainen haikea olo. Siis että talvi- tällaisesta paikasta äiti on kotoisin- ajatuksella. Vaikka kyllähän sitä lunta sinne amerikkaankin mahtuu, olette vaan asuneet kesäisillä leveysasteilla ennen.

Hey, glad you are back! What cute pics. I love the last one with the boys and their laptops. It reminds me of my in-laws, LOL. I hope Noah (and everyone else) is feeling better.
