Oh Brothers.

This morning I was awoken by a sleepy little Seamus. He rested his head on my arm and said "Morning Mom. I love you so much." What a way to start the day. James and I were feeling particularly blessed to have such a loving little boy. Now later in the day he "wrestled" Finn to their bedroom floor - so we can't always be angels. They are currently playing chase around the dining room - Finn keeps getting lapped but he doesn't seem to mind.

Longing to be a BIG Kid...

At the cabin this week, it was as if we just sat around and watch Seamus grow up. All the cousins have so much fun together and he's now starting to feel a part of it all. This picture was one of the rare moments of seperation. He watched for almost 45 minutes - standing still as a tree - all the cousins jump and play on the new "deep end" trampoline. You could almost hear the longing in his heart to be just a LITTLE bit bigger...

The (Older) Boys of Summer

Carl! Matt! & Dan! Spent one hot Sunday afternoon clearing out our upstairs in advance of demolition! It (they) was a HUGE lifesaver. This remodel project has taken many turns already - and instead of begining at the end of the summer - we're hoping to be all finished by September. Fortunately, with two little boys we don't have much else going on...
