Good to be home!

We had a great visit with everyone, but 2 weeks is a long time to be away from home! The kids have been so happy to be home. There have been very few squabbles or tantrums for the past 3 days.

Oliver has been so loving with Buttercup. He voluntarily hugs her and says her "I love you" -- but don't be fooled into thinking he's not a tough guy! He has mastered bike riding on the bumpy, cracked, hilly sidewalk and it took several hard spills to get to that point, but he handled it with as much tenacity that a 3 year old can muster. What a big boy!

Buttercup is still working on walking. She takes steps randomly throughout the day, but crawling is still her 2nd favorite way to travel (1st choice is being carried on my hip). She's really funny though, and is so tolerant of Oliver roughhousing with her. Yesterday she let him "amputate" her limbs with his saber saw, and both Oliver and Buttercup giggled the whole time. :-)


Here are some pictures from this morning.

Carefully mincing onion with his knife















Coating the onion in flour

















Smiles in the sunroom! We were repeating "cracker?" to each other, which Buttercup apparently thought was the funniest thing in the world. LOL!
















The next Kareem Abdul-Jabar, maybe?

















Her shirt says, "It's not easy being this cute" She is such a cutie!
