And So It Begins....

Austin; Everyday he comes home from school and immediately asks if he can go play at his friends house. After playing today he came home with a grip load of Pokemon cards, his friend just happened to give him. I thought that trading cards were outdated, but apparently not. He came home, layed them all over the table and proceeded to tell me which cards are his favorites and why. He even picked out all of the "feminine" cards and told me to pick which one I liked the best so that he could give it to me. I told him it wasn't necessary, but he insisted. Now I have my own Pokemon card ... how special!

Cameron; He is the definition of mischievous. Who needs snow when you can create your own sled indoors? Not too long ago he discovered that the drawer to his tool bench works great as a sled down the stairs. As soon as I discovered him doing this I gave him a good talkin' to and took the drawer away. Enough time went by and the drawer eventually returned to it's bench and of course Cameron didn't let the opportunity pass. I know taking pictures of him doing something I forbid is encouraging to his actions, but sometimes you just want to.

Andrew; Keeps getting taller and smarter. I often times forget how long his arms are and how determined he can be. He is just getting into everything. There is nothing that this boy of mine won't try and get. I am convinced that every time I open the dishwasher a certain bell goes off in Andrew's head and summons him on over.
