It has been a long time since I updated, I seek forgiveness by uploading not only new pictures, but 2 new videos as well.

We've had a great summer so far: walking to the farmer's market, drinking juice boxes at the pool, sweating, um I mean, swinging in the backyard and wrestling in the basement (when it rains). I think that last shot is Hudson's "game face."

Here are the boys playing around after dinner tonight. I keep telling Mclain that one day Hudson is going to be bigger than him and he should be nice to his little brother. That day is drawing much closer ...

We're just two wild and crazy guys.

Thank goodness Spring is here. We can play and play (and pee) in the backyard!

All of a sudden, one day at lunch, Hudson started and mastered the use of a fork. He won't touch his food without one now.

Here are the boys at a local playground. Hudson follows Mclain everywhere and tries to do everything he does. Up ladders, across the monkey bars, down slides ... don't tell him he isn't big enough to do these things yet. I just try to make sure no one breaks an arm.

It was really too cold to be outside, but we were tired of being cooped up in the house ... so we bundled up and ate our snack outside on the deck. It was nice to get some fresh air.

Mclain's first trip to the dentist. He did great! This kid loves to brush his teeth and was thrilled with the toothbrush they let him take home. He was way more excited about the toothbrush than the ball they let him pick out too.

It is hard, but I try get both of them in the same picture and looking at the camera, at the same time. These are some recent attempts. I think the mug shot on the sofa is funny.

I apologize for the very long delay in uploading new pictures. I promise to be better in the future. :) I've just been busy!

Here are some snow pics. We had a ton of snow! The boys loved it! Of course we made a Bob the Builder snow man. Good thing Daddy was there to show us how to make snow men and snow forts.

For a good laugh, watch our "tiny dancer" move on the dance floor instead of getting the rest of his PJ's on for bed. The raw talent is evident.

Graham, Brian and Kelly came to visit us on Jan 30 weekend (Hudson's real bday, so we had cupcakes). The cousins had fun playing together, although I think Graham was a little overwhelmed with all the "love."

Hudson turned One on Jan 30 and Mclain turned Three on Feb 6. We had a "construction" themed family party on Feb 7. Lots family came in from FL, NC and GA to eat cake and celebrate!

Hudson is into everything nowadays! This kid is always grinning and loves to laugh. He really enjoys hamming it up to get a smile from his audience too.
