Perseverance

When a boys waits forever to try and catch an animal...
True picture of patience and perseverance.

Blueberry Season!

Today marks the beginning of our Blueberry Season this year! If you'll take note of the date, it's SUPER early this year.  Thanks to all the warm weather we've had lately, we're eating off our bushes almost a month earlier than normal.  It caught me by surprise.  The boys were wandering outside chomping on something and I realized it was blueberries!  And they were actually blue! (They've been known to, out of pure angst for the season, take off a few blueish/purple berries and just eat past the slight bitterness) I set out to test the berry's sugar content to make sure we could actually start the picking season and the boys could hardly keep their hands off the bushes.  So, I put them to work... William wouldn't even look up for a picture... Just because it's fun to watch them be silly together... And I know these  two little faces won't be little forever.

William's a teenager!!!

Jan. 25th, 2010 Not long before he'll be running!

William's been progressively showing us how he's learning to walk on his own; no mommy or daddy's hands to hold onto. It's pretty cute, cause he'll look at something he wants that's a ways away and just stare like he's thinking about how to get there. Then, he'll just take off and see how far he can get before he falls. I finally captured a few moments on camera...(okay, so I couldn't figure out how to get them right side up. It's not like I shot them sideways!...so sorry)
