Mr. Daniel Doodah

Yes, we still call him Doodah. It's a nickname that has stuck! Even David calls him that 99% of the time! And honestly, he answers to Doodah much better than Daniel! Eeek! :) He is one sweet child. I know I am a little prejudice, but here goes...he is just precious. He loves, loves, loves to give kisses and hugs. Daniel almost always has a smile on his face, even when he is mad, you can often get him to smile! He is a momma's boy through and through, but loves his daddy with all he has! He wants to be just like big brother and do whatever big brother is doing. Daniel also LOVES animals. Garrett is his favorite. He is with Garrett all the time and is always looking for him when they are apart. Garrett gets the 1st kiss goodnight. He loves ants, spiders, squirrels, the neighbors cats, Granna and Pops dog, and any animal he sees...even the butterflies at the library. He isn't talking much yet, but understands everything you say to him. He is funny and loves to make us laugh. David and Daniel both get that from their daddy! :) David is so good with him (most of the time) and really likes to teach him new things...like using the potty and dunking in the bathtub! I think potty training for this one will be super easy! :)
He is the best snuggler and I am just so in love with this boy. Daniel is such a precious gift and we just love him so!! Here are some pictures of our little Doodah!

All about DAVID!

This post is all about my big boy, David! He's had a lot going on lately and I realized by looking through my camera, that most of my pictures are of him and the new stages of life that he is experiencing! He started back to preschool the beginning of August and is now in the 4 year old class. He loves school! He goes 5 days a week for 3 hrs a day and he is always excited about going! What a relief! Mr. David is such a momma's boy, but he is really branching out, making friends, and loving life! We are so proud of David and the young man that he is becoming. He loves being around other children and is quite the entertainer!

David also recently started playing soccer. He loves it too! He was very nervous at first, but after getting the hang of it, he is really enjoying himself. So far, he's played 2 games and he scored his first goal at his 2nd game. He really tries hard and has a great time!

It's hard to believe how fast this little man is growing up. He is getting so tall and really looks and acts like a big kid now!!

The pictures are of all kinds of things...first day of preschool, field trip to a creek, soccer, and just David being David!!! Stay tuned for an upcoming post all about Daniel! :)

Way behind...

That's the story of my life lately. I seem to be way behind more than I am ever ahead or even on time anymore, but such is the life with 2 growing boys! I did want to go ahead and post a couple more summer pics from our 2nd beach trip before I start updating you with pics from the fall. We were able to go to Hilton Head with Pops, Granna, Aunt Sarah, Uncle Andrew, Aunt Abby, and Cousin Lilly back in July. The boys had a fabulous time and so did I! Matt and Uncle A.D. weren't able to join us because they were both working and we missed them. I do think Pops and Granna enjoyed seeing all 3 of their grandchildren playing at the beach. We were all very grateful to Aunt Sarah's parents for allowing us to stay at their beach home. These are some of my favorite pictures from our trip!
