Long Time No Post

Thanks to everyone who sent us love/hate mail about not posting. We appreciate the attention.

Ephraim is past the bobble head stage.

Xavier enjoys taking care of brother/using him as a drum set.

Here is a comparison shot - Ephraim is quickly gaining on Xavier in size.

Snow Routine OR When My Dad Drags My Brother Outside to Get Cold

Here's what happens when it snows at our house. Daddy jumps up in the morning and peeps out the window into the front yard. Then he looks through the kitchen window into the backyard. Then he skips around like a little schoolboy. When my older brother wakes up, Dad officially drafts him into snow training. He makes my brother put on a lot of clothes and then they go out into the cold. I don't think I am missing much.


Here's my brother and his snowman. It was built in a very short amount of time. (My brother is on the left. The snowman is on the right.)

Here is my brother eating his first snow cream. He said it was really good. I am sure that it was great. Go ahead, brother, and eat your cold snow cream. I have got an inside scope on an endless supply of cream AND it is warm (I didn't include a picture of that).

Boxer Boy

Here's my brother.

I am not sure what he is doing.

But Dad and Mom thought it was funny.

Xavier's Birthday Party

A week ago today, we had Xavier's Bday Party. He was 2.
Of course, you came to this site to see me so here I am . . .
dressed up like I am going on 16 months.



Xavier blowing out his cake. (Thanks Grandma June for being the party host.)


Xavier got a TON of gifts. I am expecting nothing less for all my birthdays.


My mom had another baby girl last week. HA.
That's Evie June - my cousin.
AND that is my dad after 10 bowls of ice cream cake. no joke.
He was glazed over.

Big Hats

My brother and I have quite a collection of hats.

I am going to throw a few different looks at you so try to keep up.

Chocolate Mousse

Xavier here. I am taking the reins for my little brother.

He is probably nursing or burping or sleeping.

OK, so our family loves chocolate . . .

I think it is genetic

(my maternal side).

I love slurping chocolate off the beaters. It is sad for my brother. He is looking for his chocolate, but . . .

I ate his chocolate.

Of course . . .

you can't prove that.

When Mommy Naps . . .

A lot of things happen when mommy takes a nap.

First, Xavier gave me a bottle to drink. The milk tasted like Mommy. The bottle tasted like plastic. Between Daddy and Xavier, I got a lot of milk in my chin and on my shirts. Daddy had to change me.

Here is a shot of daddy feeding me and trying to take the camera away from my brother at the same time. Xavier still got a decent shot off.

My brother is great to have around. Here is a shot he took of himself.

Here he is getting ready to draw on his easel.

Like I said, a lot happens when Mommy naps.
