the boys.



highlight of matty's life right now? getting a lollipop from the store. so weird to hear the words 'i need to go shopping', and they aren't coming out of my mouth!!

highlight of david's life right now? being free to explore, play and especially pulling things off shelves and tables. he'll still let me snuggle him, but he wants to wiggle free sooner.

these pics were taken last weekend in shaver lake and both boys got to enjoy their favorite things. life is good.

You are so lucky to be able to excape to a place like this. Simple pleasures right? It looks like a mom & pop general store with the wood flooring and all... simpler times.... I wish we could all have a day where our biggest challenge or decision of the day was "which candy to choose" makes me smile :) :) :) :)

Thanks for the reminder to let the children eat candy! :) Really, I get in the mode of no cavities, etc. THanks! Cuties as always!

i love that matty needs to go shoppin'--how cute is he? and david--i love that he is totally scoping out the candy, too.

I so remember a candy store like this when I was a kid. How fun it was to pick out candy...but hard because there was so much to choose from!
Your boys are adorable! Did you get any candy for Chrissie and I?

That was my favorite store to go to as a child. My Dad and I used to go there to get fishing tackle and treats before we'd head out fishing together! I think we even have a picture of us together in front of the store when I was around 6 or 7 (24 years ago!!)
I hope had a great trip!

Have I mentioned I love reading your blog? Your ability to always be so upbeat and find the joy in every moment is truly uplifting. I need to start cultivating more of it myself.

Your boys are adorable!

Those boys need less candy. They're already way too sweet.
