16 1/2 months

I had so many pictures to share so couldn't wait until 18 months to post! Plus the babies are changing so much these days I thought it was time for another update.


Our good friend Kelly made Hunter and Jackson some new burpies (burp cloths) that they use as lovies because the ones passed down from Finley were so worn out.


They love snuggling them and sleeping with them. Thank you Kelly!


We have figured out how to climb onto the ottoman...


and the table!


One on one time with Hunter.


Poor Jackson had a bad accident in the wagon the other day. Poor little guy.



We still cheered for the Tar Heels even though it was a painful basketball season.



Hunter chasing his shadow one morning.


In an effort to try to get Hunter to stop biting Jackson I told him to give his brother loving. 
He hugged him for a few seconds and then threw him to the ground! 
Still working on sharing, loving, and NOT biting!



Getting ready in the morning is getting increasingly difficult. After I shower my room and bathroom are usually a disaster zone!



Dance parties!



Hunter and Jackson went to their first birthday party to celebrate my friend Sarah's twins turning 3!




They colored hats but wouldn't sit for the rest of the activities. 



Luckily there is a lot to do at the Kidzu museum!






After the party we headed over to Mimi's dance studio to tap in the big studios!






The benefits of having a grandma that is a dance teacher!




Our Sunday best!





One morning while trying to get ready Hunter decided to jump in the shower with me!



We have learned how to do "Cheers"!



Now no one likes to sit at meal time!




Big boys riding on the merry go round!





We love reading books!


And are so grateful for Ms. Andrea who plays with us while mama gets a break!

And now we are mostly home bound due to COVID 19. Looking back on these pictures makes me a so sad as we don't know how long we will have to stay away from public places and our friends. I am grateful for wonderful family and friends and all their love and support during this time! Praying we can all get through this safely and healthy!

A little snow...


We didn't get a lot of snow this year...



But figured we ought to document the dusting that we did!



These boys love looking out the window and the snow added to their excitement!




It took me probably 20 minutes to get the boys all bundled up.



And they lasted maybe 5 minutes in the cold, wet, snow.




Finley didn't think the snow was enough to bother with the first day. Thus the lack of pictures of him.





The next day when friends came over we all got outside again!



Finley and Ally tried to sled, but that didn't go so well.



School was cancelled of course even though the streets were completely clear!





But we still had fun enjoying the day with friends!




We are so glad the Hoffman's could come over and play!
I guess we will have to wait until next winter for enough snow to sled on or make snowmen with!
