The violin

Image
 I'm still so thrilled that Little B chose to play the violin.  I love classical music (not that that is the only type of music they play) and wanted Bryan to have some appreciation of it.  Originally it was a deal.  He didn't want to play and I wanted him to.  So, we agreed...give it a try for one year and if you don't like it, you can drop it.  Well, I'm very excited to say, he LOVES it and wants to continue next year.  They sounded wonderful tonight and I'm so proud of them - those orchestra teachers are truly wonderful, nurturing women and I'm so glad they are the ones teaching these kids!

Home-made

Uncle Brett made this boat out of cardboard and duct tape for school.  The boys got to keep it after he was done with it.  It was impressive - the boys had a lot of fun paddling around the pool in it.  Good job Uncle Brett!

Easter

Just a couple from Easter...

Just playing

Image
Just playing with my camera.  My boys just rock, OK?  They are so willing to be my models and let me try new ideas and practice on them.  As soon as they see me setting up they ask me how I want them to dress and where they should sit.  LOL!  They do rock!  The second pic of Shorty is too dark on his face, I know... but that look of his is so him - arched eyebrow and all.  And I just love Little B below with his beautiful eyes and his reflection on the floor.  SIGH - I may have been a little frustrated tonight since I was really struggling with my camera, but getting a handful of shots of my boys that I at least love, is worth it.

Camp Cards and Packing for Camp

  So glad this is over, but also glad Little B did it.  He sold what he set out to sell and got pretty good at it.  He even enjoyed helping people by handing out shopping carts. This is the first time he took his big hiking pack camping.  It's almost as big as he is!  He was very excited to use it finally - thank Papi!  He had everything other than his chair in that thing.  I'm sure it's going to get a ton of use.

Pouting

Just a couple of my baby.  Does he have the pout perfected or what?
