nakey babies

One thing we're committed to at our house is having fun. And there is never a dull moment especially after baths. There's something about squeaky clean, happy, "nakey" babies!

love this smile

and these leggies

naked and unashamed! :)

I really found him this way:

almost official

In his free time, Corey has been busy studying for his FIVE ordination exams, which are really more like TEN since there is a written and an oral exam for each. He took his first one this morning on theology. One down...four to go. I have to brag on him for a second--he memorized the Westminster Shorter Catechism! Smarty!!! Here's a look at him in action and the material he is trying to conquer.

just being silly :)

Thomas

We haven't had our Thomas the Train set out for a while, but it came out today and the boys had a blast playing with it (and I had fun taking pictures of them!) :)

first trip to the Indy library

We took our friend Isabella and met some more friends (Tara and her boys) at the downtown library for some fun in the toddler area. Ty LOVED watching a book on video (I liked the fun chairs), and both boys had fun with the green screen. They could walk on a stage with a green screen behind them and then see themselves on TV in different settings--crossing a stream, playing in a rock band, or walking on a fall day. It was pretty cool.

dressing up

I somehow managed to sneak away from the chaos and make a phone call the other night in my bedroom. I had been in there for maybe 10 minutes (and it was a lovely 10 minutes!!!) when I heard, "Where's mommy?" from downstairs. I knew it was coming--my peaceful hiding place would soon be found! Minutes later, two boys and every noisy toy we own ended up in my bedroom. Such is the life of a mom. :)

Drew quickly found daddy's new hat and had a great time modeling for me! He's such a poser (!!!) unlike his brother who either shuns the camera or has to be bribed for a smile! Here are a few shots I got of the two of them. (Ty is sporting his Peter Pan hat from his friend, Sam.)

indianapolis children's museum

We took our first trip to the Indianapolis Children's Museum, which is supposed to be the best in the country. We got a late start so we weren't able to spend much time there, but the boys had a great time. They explored the Bob the Builder exhibit, saw a life-sized Spider Man shooting his web, and played in the sand table. Ty's favorite was the race car and the gigantic (stuffed) polar bear; we couldn't get Drew out of this bulldozer. He loved it! The seat was bouncy so he had a great time hopping off of it and back onto it. I think he played in there most of the time!

I actually thought it was kind of lame and was quite disappointed until I found out that we missed an entire floor that is perfect for my kids' ages with a tree house and carousel, and the dinosaur room with rain, sun, and life-size dinosaurs. We're looking forward to going back. :)
