Enjoying Spring

This weekend we spent some time with the Grandparents. Lucas and Adam stayed with Grandma Eileen and Grandpa Jim from Saturday morning until Sunday morning. Friday night the storms blew down a very large tree in their yard. Lucas was ready to save the day. Here's what he said seconds after he arrived, "Papaw Jim that tree fall down, and I will fix it with my chainsaw." Sunday afternoon we went for a Rhino ride and visited Grandma Kay and Grandpa Tony. Adam enjoyed riding a skateboard down the drive way with Angel and Lucas put his boots on to go help Paps in the garden. The boys are very lucky to have such great grandparents.

It's been awhile since I've given an update on the boys. Adam is growing too fast. He is walking and nearly running everywhere he goes. He is eating all table food and is no longer eating any bottles. Yeah the Rudolph house is bottle and passy free for the first time in 2 years. Adam is following directions and is starting to talk more. He says, "Hi", "I got it", "I did it", "Stuck", "Go", and some other random words on occasion. He is sleeping through the night more nights, but gets up at 4 AM for the day about once a week. He continues to be a happy smiley guy who loves to follow his brother everywhere.

Lucas is acting more and more like a little boy. He is still talking up a storm and is very observant. His new favorite words/phrases are "This is wonderful", "beautiful", and "the best in the world." He still loves helping Daddy cook and makes his own scrambled eggs each morning for breakfast. He loves his playground and is sliding down and climbing on it every all by himself. His new favorite game is hide and seek. We are starting to work on potty training just a little bit, but no real progress is being made.

We have really enjoyed this spring with the boys. We play outside every evening and frequently get to play with Jacob and Eli (our neighbors). We have enjoyed some family rides on the Rhino and some family trips to Walmart and Rural King. We are preparing the camper for the summer and are ready to celebrate some very special occasions with family in May. We are so blessed to have these two little boys in our life.
