Sam Opens Door...oh boy!

I was sitting down working on some Young Women calendaring, and all of a sudden I hear a door open.  The first thing I thought was, "who is here opening a door? No one here knows how to open a door." Well, now they do.  Apparently, Sam knows how to open a door--as of today.  Oh boy, who knows what that will lead to.  Only time will tell.

Andrew falls asleep underneath Sam's bed

Every night, John goes to check on the boys after he does his reading.  Often times, he finds something that he thinks is pretty funny--so he comes and describes the scene to me.  One night, Sam was cuddling up to Andrew in Andrew's bed.  Sometimes, they are hanging half way off the bed.  Tonight definitely wins the prize!  When John didn't see Andrew in his bed, he started to get a little worried.  He thought maybe that I had taken him downstairs, because he was coughing.  Before coming downstairs, he checked one more place and found Mr. Andrew-- sleeping underneath the tiny space under Sam's bed.  It was the cutest thing ever!

Some of these pictures may be a repeat, but here are some of the last couple of months pictures captured with my cell phone.  They aren't the best quality, but some of them are my favorite.  

Boys in Santa hats and pjs.

The Best Christmas!

I have been meaning to write to say that we had the best Christmas year.  My mom made a last minute decision to drive to Houston for Christmas!  It was so exciting for her to be here.  Unfortunately, the boys were under the weather, and we did end up giving my mom a Christmas cold. :(  Other than that, we had such a great time!  The boys were able to spend a lot of time with Leen, and they are already ready to see her again.  However, they are sick, again, so we'll get them well before she comes again.

My mom is in the room, but she manages to hide from cameras. 

A day in the life of Sam, Will, and Andrew's dishes...

Lots of sippy cups and snack cups in one day!
