Be my cowboy!

a rare moment of quiet and no fighting......

Xander weighs more, but Will is so strong that it's no problem. "Be my cowboy" is what Will tells Xander when he wants him to ride on his back. Will actually offers rides to whoever will take them. He thinks it's fun and funny. Silly boy!

Xander trying to return the favor. He's not as strong and Will's too much for him.

So, thank goodness for spring! It's finally here. We have been outside soaking up the sun as much as we can. We are actually wearing shorts today and it's fantastic. Although, we had to get out new clothes and shoes for the kids, since they grew out of last years' summer clothes. The shoes are still a little big, and they look funny trying to run around in them, but as always, at least they can wear them for a long time.

Unfortunately, Xander's cold turned into a sinus infection. I took him to the doctor on Saturday morning, and he's on his 4th day of antibiotics and now is back to normal. In hindsight, you can tell over last week that he didn't feel good just by how he was acting. He is definitely back to his ornery more animated self. Will also went to the doctor, but luckily his cold started clearing up on its own and we may not need to fill the antibiotic prescription we were sent home with. Poor Grace is pretty congested and her voice has been going hoarse. Hopefully she won't get a sinus infection, too. We'll wait a couple more days to see what happens with that.

Speaking of Grace, she has inexplicably picked up a Southern accent. Now, we don't really know anyone that we spend a lot of time with that has a thick southern accent, so she's just doing it. She says things like "Way-ll" (Will) "thay-ere" (there) and "may-lk" (milk). It is so funny. She actually sounds like she lives in Mississippi or something. A couple of funny things said in our house recently....

Will: "Daddy, look at my new shirt."

Daddy: "I see it Will."

Will: "Is it cool?"

Daddy, laughing: "Yes, it's very cool."

Xander bothering Will.

Will growling: "Xander, you're making me very angry."

(Now, I wonder where he's heard that one before. Only everyday from Brian and I, because someone is always doing something to make us angry.)

Not really much else to report. We're just going on with normal things, not really doing anything extraordinary or special. We are getting some professional pictures taken this weekend, so I'll let you know when you can see those online. Otherwise, enjoy the nice weather and have a great spring weekend everyone! Thanks for checking on us.
