Little Big Boys

"Mom, do you see that?!"

"I'm gonna get it...just a minute..."

"Almost there..."

"I made it! I made it! Did you see that, Mommy?!"

"Wait a minute. Chickie, where are you going? I'll try to follow you."

So happy to be mobile.

I woke up recently and came out of the bedroom to find this. My biggest little man learning how to prepare a nice warm home for the ladies of the house from Daddy.

Isn't this cute? He will be on sale, as well as some other fun things, at the Harvest Moon Bazaar in November.

New House!

Or so it feels.

Last weekend Mom & Dad Petersen came over and painted our house. Dad did all the spraying and most of the detail work. Mom & I painted the porch and John painted the shutters. It looks amazing and we only wish we had done this 3 years earlier. :)

It's beautiful. Thank you, Dad, for working so hard for us again!

Glimpses...

I never want to forget Aubrey's ensembles. This particular day it was her ballerina suit, fancy shoes, and kitty ears. Naturally.

I mean really.

I just couldn't choose between these pictures. Stuart is just so fun.



Aubrey went berry-picking with John. She went to change her clothes and this is what she came out wearing. Does anyone remember Punky Brewster? This is definitely a Punky Brewster moment for Aubs.

Handsome dude.

Oh, there we are! :)

Someone got to go see Mary Poppins on Broadway with Aunt Annie. Looks like she was all ready to play her part. She came home with an Aubrey-sized carpet bag and new dance moves. Thank you, Aunt Annie, for the special date!

He makes my heart smile.

Beauty. Inside and out.

Loving on her baby Stuart.

Quiet afternoon playing on her bike.
