Busy Days



At the end of some days, I feel like I have not been able to focus equally on each kid. Today is not the case. Brynn and I took advantage of the beautiful weather and did some finger painting outside. You can see the before and after. Then we had a yummy lunch of leftover spaghetti. Of course, that got everywhere... Its just not a good day unless you have to take a bath when you are done!

8 Months Old



Cannon is 8 months old. Time has flown by, and dragged by if that is possible. Each day seems to take forever to get through, but a week goes by SO fast! We are busy. Between Cannon and his "I can do it all by myself" big sister Brynn, I have a lot of things to do. He is almost crawling (he has mastered backwards movement) and has two perfect white teeth on the bottom. (We call them his chicklets). He is a momma's boy, which I am told is normal. We will see how long I can handle that...

The Perfect Toy



We just bought and installed a new dishwasher. Besides the all day installation, super clean dishes and quiet washing cycle, we also got a great toy for the kids to play in. Its too bad that it takes up the whole livingroom floor space, otherwise I would love to keep it. Brynn is having a blast in her new house, and Cannon just crawls backwards to the very back corner and gets stuck. It keeps them occupied for hours...
