Alphabet

I found this on the fridge today – it looks like James was working on the alphabet, and made it pretty far before either getting stuck or bored. Who says that it needs to go from left to right?

Child Artist

James has recently developed some artistic skills – he’s become proficient at drawing humanoid figures. I’m really digging his signature too – it’s a bit different every time, but all of the essentials are in there. Pretty good for a 3 year old, I think.

Belated Happy Birthday to Frank

I’ve been meaning to post this one for a while now. We’ve had Frank for 6 years now. We’re guessing (wildly) that he was about a year old when we got him. We know that he came to Milwaukee from Lebanon, Kentucky – we can only guess what happened in his life before that. Chances are he had some fun and adventures that we’ll never know about. Happy #7 Frank!

Brotherly Love

Someday, I’m sure this will gross out the boys … but tonight, James invited Luke to lay in bed with him. Luke loved it. Thanks, big brother James.

Brothers

James has been trying hard recently to be a good big brother. At times he’s a little rougher with Luke than we’d like, but, there hasn’t been anything too harmful yet. Most of the time he’s trying to be very sweet. Here they are.

A High Five Moment with James from the Vault

I stumbled onto this video yesterday while digitally reminiscing. I wish I could say that I remember the occasion, but I don’t. This cute kid’s funny sense of humor started early.

The Boys

I’m pretty sure my head isn’t this big in reality. But, Luke definitely IS this big. Amazing.

More Pumpkins

As you can see, James was happy to be helping out with all things pumpkin.

A Pumpkin Carving Time Lapse

James is unbelievably excited about all things Halloween, even though he seems to understand very little. In any case, he knows that pumpkins and spiders are critical, so …

And yes, this is the third time lapse video in recent memory. And yes, I did get a new camera/phone. It’s pretty awesome.
