Finn Turns 5!

Time flies when you're having fun with Finn. Our not-so-little monkey celebrated his big day at school (complete with teacher-made glittery crown) and with a bug-theme party at our house with all his buddies.

Spring is Here!

We were busy bees this weekend trying to spring-ify our front yard. While Scott and I pulled the weeds and planted the new additions, the boys found, captured, documented and released all kinds of fun creatures.

The "Before" picture above.
The "After" picture will be posted at a later date when we showcase all the fruits of our labors....probably never or maybe in a couple weeks...we'll see how long we can keep the momentum up. :)

Finn & Eli - Buddies

While Finn has always been a very attentive and loving brother, he's finally started to realize that Eli is a super fun playmate.




(Note the "thumbs-up" sign Eli gets for pushing His Majesty.)

Yosemite Snow Trip!

Forever the most peaceful place in the world for me - Yosemite! And even more calming and wonderful in the winter. Last weekend we piled into a Dwyer-filled cabin to enjoy the snow, the sun and each other's company.

Here's Scott catching Eli at the bottom of the "Eli Bum Run"

Thanksgiving

This last Thanksgiving we were thankful for...

...family hikes in the woods

...open-mouth kisses for dogs

...wrestle time with Scott

...four generations of strong, healthy babies. :)
