In this update you will find a bunch of items of the last few weeks. In no particular order, well – roughly in the timeline it occurred.
Simon and Max are now the proud owners of this American Flyer off-road wagon. But it is likely a better snack cart versus being loaded with two 30 plus pound boys.

The boys on the way to school, and there is so much to see.

One young man has graduated to a toddler bed, and we are waiting for the other conversion side to arrive.

We went to the mountains to spend a week with GiCi and grandmama.

Grandmama brought clay for Simon and Max and here everyone is hard at work behind the mountain house.

Simon quickly figured out how this works.

Hiking around with the whole group on Grandfather Mountain

We all had to chase hard to keep up.

The boys love the Chris Van Dusen books and this gift from Grandmama was a big hit.
We had seen a bear, read a story about a bear, and that night a bear came visiting us.

Hanging out near a creek not to far from the mountain house outside of Boone, NC.

We all had a great time out there.

Playing bedtime in the middle of the day.

The boys had read about marshmallows and now they got to enjoy some. But this is a very rare treat.

It is very cute how Simon often assist Max. Here he helps his brother get the socks off.

Max enjoying breakfast with Papa at Cagney’s before a standard dentist appointment.

The crew at the dentist was in awe what a good patient Max was during his first professional cleaning.

And Papa was very proud of little Max.

The boys and Mama supported Papa during a recent sprint triathlon.

And Papa brought home the goods thanks to the great support crew.
