The Big City of Blanch

We always enjoy getting to visit our family in Blanch because there is never a dull moment with them. I learn something new every time I go to there. One of my first visits there, pre-children, I learned how to stomp my foot just right to make the TV clear. This time I learned that you have to light one of the burners on the stove and slam the oven door while holding your tongue just right in order to get the stove to come on.
This past weekend we really enjoyed getting to swim with Jason and Daniel and Nana. Damaris' favorite thing was talking to her cousins Caleb, Daniel, and Haley. The most exciting part of our week though was learning that Haley knows the Father now!!!!
We love you all and look forward to seeing you again soon. Hopefully Uncle Vic and Aunt Sissy will be there next time.

Update

We enjoyed getting to spend time with the Heaths and Mews during May and June.

Ezekiel is crazy about his Gaga and Papa and his Uncle Dustin and Aunt Emmy. Damaris is crazy about anyone who will talk to her and hold her. She is so much fun right now laughing and cooing. One of her favorite things to do is sit in her swing and talk to Humpty Dumpty. She really has a lot to tell him most days. Humpty Dumpty was Ezekiel's favorite toy too for a long time. Thanks Wendy and Dewey for thinking about us and our kiddos.

These are a Few of My Favorite Things

Here are a few pics of some of Ezekiel's favorite things he likes to do each day.

Ezekiel likes to help mommy and daddy wash dishes. When he sees us filling the sink with water he pulls the big step stool, the one papa Howard made for mama, over to the sink and climbs up to "help." Mostly he enjoys putting the animals from his Noah's Ark set in the water. I tried to explain to Ezekiel that kangaroos and cows aren't very good swimmers, so he has to rescue them frequently. In this pic he's rescuing the kangaroo. We usually end up with most of the water on the floor by the time we're done but he has a good time and water is easy to clean up.

Playdough and Mr. Potato Head!

Ezekiel likes to use the Mr. Potato Head accessories to create works of art with his playdough. Someone, somewhere would probably pay a lot of money for one of these creations.

Ezekiel likes to wear the Mr. Potato Head glasses while he creates, something his mommy use to like to do as well when she was little.

Daddy's Little Boy!

That's an understatement. Ezekiel is so crazy about his daddy. I just hope he doesn't grow in to those shoes any time soon. Size 13s and 14s are hard to come by.

Hourdevours

Since hourdevours are just a preview of the meal to come, my first blog entry will be brief and just enough to hopefully whet your appetite.

My handsome little boy!

My sweet little girl!



Sweet kisses!
