I've been taking pictures lately of Caleb and Isaac together. They love being next to each other. I think I want to record these moments because I'm afraid once Isaac is mobile and into Caleb's toys, Caleb won't be showing much love. Those of you with older kids, are my fears realistic?
In the first picture, Caleb is holding a number 1 and Isaac the number 2. Nate will say "Where's son number 1?" And Caleb will come running. Now Caleb refers to Isaac as "son number 2" and likes Isaac to hold the number 2. For now we think it is cute. However, Isaac might get a complex when he's older about Caleb always being referred to as number 1. Maybe I'm reading into it too much.:)
The last picture is of cookies I made recently. Sorry if I don't sound very humble, but for the most part I am a really good baker. However, I discovered that having the full amount of baking soda called for in a recipe is very important. The cookies looked so funny! They were supposed to be Hershey kiss "suprises" in the middle, but the cookies didn't rise well-so the kiss is very obvious. I just get a kick out of baked goods that don't turn out well. (As long as it doesn't happen too often!) Dad, remind you of some fudge I made??
In other news, we got our car back after a week and a half. Of course it was some tiny piece to replace, but with labor costs is was a couple hundred dollars. Grrrr.

Glad to hear you have your car back. Whenever I get a repair bill for a vehicle, I wish either Jason or I was mechanically inclined and could do car repairs. Maybe one of our boys will be! :)
I've been there on the cookies...those still look very yummy, but I have to agree that the kiss is not much of a surprise! I've had my share of baking fiascos as well. One time I made banana muffins and they some how "blew up" in the oven--there was dough all over the pan (but strangely enough not the oven) and they were all sunk in...I think it might have been the baking soda that time, too. Who knew that such nasty tasting stuff was so important!
The pictures of your boys are so cute. It's really too bad that they don't look like brothers. :) You are right about the not "loving" each other as much when the younger one gets into the older ones toys. However, once we get through the shrieking from that, the boys will do something cute like hug each other or hold hands while they are in their car seats (I have to get a picture of that one yet!). They will forever act like siblings...love and competition all wrapped in one!
YOU CRACK ME UP!
I hate car care. . .it feels like GIVING money away. Grrr. ..plus it always falls when you are the poorest. . .like Christmas Season!
I'd certainly volunteer to eat the cookies. Sometimes the mistakes taste the best! The boys are so cute! I love the numbers. I wouldn't worry about complexes yet. :0)
haha, that's awesome that Caleb has caught on and refers to Isaac as son number two. Too cute. I have a proposition for you...how bout you send me all your "dud" cookies...I'm pretty sure I could find some people to polish them off =)
Hi Babe,
Like the pics of the 2 boys as well as the Christmas tree expedition.
Yes I remember the fudge experiment..just couldn't get the fudge out of the pan. But it was a good try by us since mom was at work.
