A lot has happened since I last posted!  Matt finished residency,  we had grandparents visit (Matt’s dad, my parents), we blessed Annie and we moved to Kalamazoo!  Of course I have pictures of none of it because our nice camera lens broke the day of Matt’s graduation and our little point and shoot is missing a battery charger.  We’re back in business now with a new lens…so here are some picture randoms!

Blowing bubbles on the back porch.

Cole is a future wrestler/linebacker, I think.  He  loves to knock Jack down and/or sit on him.  Jack is amazingly tolerant, and Cole seriously can’t be stopped (he thinks its funny to get in trouble).  I realize I wasn’t exactly helping matters by taking pictures, but seconds before this Jack was laughing…I promise I rescued him moments after these were taken. Smile

Even Annalee is not exempt from steamroller Cole. (Again, she was rescued soon.)

I just love this one because it is so Cole!

Jack was particularly proud of this Mr. Potatohead and asked me to take a picture.

He loves playing with Annalee, especially when she grabs his finger.

This NEVER happens!  My kids are not ones to fall asleep anywhere but in their beds or maybe the car. (yes, he has a little bit of a black eye, a result of jumping on daddy and catching an elbow in the process)

Cole thought Jack sleeping on the floor was funny, too.

Welcome back. It was nice to get an update. Cole reminds me so much of Matt. He was always just about Preston's size and able to knock him down. We lost a few lamps and other items to their wrestling.
and Annalee will be joining in on it too. wait and see.

Annalee is getting so much bigger. Jack is so sweet and Cole just has that look--"Here comes trouble." What a handful.

Ooh, Cole looks like our Preston;) He loved to torture the babies (and anyone else) as well! Those kids are so cute!

Cole looks like a handful, but he's always smiling, and that makes it a little easier, right? How cute is Jack to sit and spend time with Annalee? What a lucky little sister to have such great big brothers :)
