When Lovesta comes on weekday mornings, Oliver starts to absolutely
glow. His huge grin tells us Lovesta is his best friend in his world.
Reed of course loves her, too. Here’s a pic of the three of them.

We just returned from an awesome trip to California to visit Mike and Schatzi. Many new pics on Flickr to see. And as always, sorry for the delay in posting. Two kids is definitely more than the sum their parts.

Reed’s Creation

Reed wanted to share his cool new truck he designed. He’s started to
build his own things without much, if any assistance. Go go Legos go!

Ben’s been on a fitness challenge since January of this year, lost 17 pounds, and gained two pounds of muscle. He completed the Kortelopet with a half-hour decrease in time. That’s my man!

Reed and the Massey-Ferguson

Reed visited the flower show with Grammy and Babbo last week. There was this cool old tractor there. He is getting so big, cooperative, and helpful with his baby brother. And the exciting news is that he can sound out many simple words! We go to the library every week to explore new books. Most of them about tractors.

Here is our sweet Oliver. He’s becoming aware of his hands, talks a lot, and is really close to laughing, too. He’s a wonderful little guy, happy and cuddly most of the time. When he gets mad, though, watch out!
