Brennan is a Drumming Fool

At church last Sunday, Brennan got free reign on the drums after the service was over. He was in heaven....

Monster Cave in the Closet

This is one of Brennan's favorite games....he hides behind the clothes hanging in the closet - now he calls it his "monster cave." He's got several caves around the house now....

Update

Brennan went to the dentist for the first time last Thursday. She barely was able to get her fingers in his mouth to assess how many teeth he had, but overall he did better than I expected him to. We're now trying to kiddie toothpaste to see if that will help our nightly battle of brushing his teeth.

Language continues to explode. He's our little parrot. When he was practicing baseball he yelled "AWESOME" after he hit the ball. He also says teeter-totter, and tippy toes.

Fun at the Park

Brennan's Future Career in Baseball

Sean went on a little shopping spree on Friday - bought Brennan a bike, and a t-ball stand, bat, and balls. Here are some pictures of batting practice.

Happy St Patricks Day

Happy St Patricks Day!

We celebrated the day at Jen, Damion, & Cassidy's house - they had a party complete with corned beef and cabbage. It was all very tasty. We made Sean's grandma's traditional Green Hairy Buffalo cocktail for the party.

Karen, Spencer, & Garrett visit

Sean's cousin Karen, and her two boys came to stay with us for a few days last weekend. It was super fun to have them here. Spencer and Garrett are our godchildren, so it was great to see them.

Also, these pictures show some of Brennan's new duds. We got a bag of clothes from our neighbor, and there was this great velvet black blazer. We have no weddings or formal events in our immediate future, so I put him in his suit for church this last Sunday. He looked so cute!

Trip to Minnesota

As many of you know, we dashed off to Minnesota this past weekend to see my Grandma. She was rushed to the hospital on Thursday with pnemonia in both lungs and heart failure. She was put on a respirator, and on Sunday we got notice from her doctors that she wasn't likely to live long once they removed tube. We made a split decision to fly to Minnesota on Monday to try and see her and/or be with my family as we grieved. Turned out she did just fine once they took her off the respirator, and we spent a week just getting her settled in the nursing home. Here's a picture of B while he waited for us to get our car rental.

Visiting Great Grandma Rosie

Many people were gathered in Grandma's hospital room - it was a great family reunion. Sean really enjoyed his Uncle Steve, and 2nd cousin Ron (he kept giving him hugs much to Ron's dismay).



This is a video of Brennan showing Grandma his "mad drumming skills."

Visitng Great Grandma Rosie...

Pictures of my family. We went out to eat one night with my mom, dad, brother, aunt, uncle, cousin and her husband. Brennan and Sean were in Minneapolis with his sister and family. The last picture is Brennan enjoying an ice cream treat with his cousins Kade & Sean.

Catching up on some cute pictures from B's 20th Month

Hanging out on the potty. This was taken right after we had a successful poop on the potty. We were trying again but it hasn't worked since. We even got him his own potty, but still no go. It does tell us he's pooped after he's done it, which is a step in the right direction. The other picture is his balancing act on the edge of his chair. He always squats there and practices clipping his highchair straps together. He's only fallen a few times. Like father like son....
