Some updates

Was my last post really April 7th? Geez that's bad. So here's an update on what's been going on. We had a freak snow storm shortly after that last post and the boys really wanted to see what was going on with all that white stuff so I took the boys out to see if their feelings about snow have changed. I figured my best chance was to have them play with the little tykes house first. Things were great until they want to play with that darn door! I've never heard of anyone wanting to open and close a door so much in my life! What I couldn't capture on film was the massive fight that happened right after I took this picture. I didn't even bother with the snow, we went back into the house so we could all have a good cry.
I don't think I've posted these pictures yet. In my Grandma Bryan's house was a small kid-friendly piano that I adored. Every child in the Bryan family got a picture playing with it and I decided that it was time to bring it out and see if the twins like it as much as I do.
I dread the day when I have to give it up so other "newer" members of our family can get their picture with it too!
Here are just a few pictures of them playing/eating. Lately, Bryan and Jonathan have been OBSESSED (I'm not exaggerating) with adults shoes! As soon as they see any laying around, they'll take off their shoes and start their fun. One morning while trying to get out the door, Bryan got a hold of my penny loafers and refused to put on his shoes. We got a video of him "clacking" in the hallway. Luckily Matt stopped filming before the real stuggle began. Jonathan was jealous that Bryan got the louder shoes to play with and there was a a short tug-o-war until we decided no shoes altogether. Good times.

This brings you almost up to date. We had some other good times that I don't have the pictures uploaded yet. This includes an egg hunt, a change in daycare, our first plane trip to Detroit, a visit from G-ma and G-pap Miller, a trip to the Shedd Aquarium, getting a new roof, and changes to the front flower beds. It's a lot, but I'll upload those and post the stories hopefully in the next week or so.
This weekend, we've got plans to plant our garden. I'll be sure to do a before and after. I expect success since last year's garden was our first garden ever and that didn't turn out all that bad.
I hope this blog finds everyone happy, healthy, and with a job if they want a job. Matt and I have been fortunate to still hold on to our positions as of today. Even with the "hard economic times", we still plan on taking a trip out to PA in July and also in December. If you'd like to meet with us, please email either Matt or I and we'll work it into our schedule. There's one thing we've leared over the years and it's that there's nothing more important than friends and family. We may not find the time to say it every day, or every week, or even every month, but we love you.
