Charlie is still working out whether carousels are fun or terrifying.

Four tooth showcase!

The blog rarely had a post during the summer of 2009 but we are hoping to get back on the blog train soon. The boys had a great summer with a trip to FL to visit the Vidal's, Auntie Alana, and Uncle Scotty in May; a visit from Mimi and Poppa over July 4th complete with watching the fireworks from Linda Kay's roof; hot summer days at the neighborhood spray park; a visit with the extended Malkus family in a mountain cabin in NC; and of course, celebrating Jude's 1st and Charlie's 3rd birthdays with friends in DC.

We are looking forward to a busy fall with Jude learning how to walk and talk and Charlie starting his first year of preschool. These boys are the joys of our lives and we are hoping to share more fun stuff on the blog.
