November 2007

Sorry I have not posted anything for several weeks. We had a number of reasons--camera batteries died, John's been dominating the computer with school deadlines--but also I've just been really tired. 6 months of sleepless nights have taken their toll and most nights I fall asleep on the floor in the boys' room when putting them to sleep and miss the chance to do anything on "my time" after they go to bed. But today I uploaded the photos and realized I had more than I thought, so it's time to dump them into a few big posts.
I'm dating these for when they happened, not when I'm posting them.
This is the collective November group.
First is just a cute picture of Josh and Lucas. Note the hand-holding.

One of Lucas's teachers has been making him really laugh hard at school by yelling "boo" at him, the louder the better. He laughs and laughs. Josh got wind of it and spent a consecutive 72 hours yelling "boo," before he started saying, "mommy, it's not working." I had to explain the concept of moderation. Here is a photo when it was still working, mid-boo:

Gammy and Poppa visiting for Thanksgiving:

Josh takes the "controls" on Lucas's exersaucer and flies it like a spaceship. Mostly, Lucas thinks this is great fun. Sometimes, though, it gets a little too aggressive for his liking. Josh is so expressive in his play.
