Yeah, we know...

It's been a while since our last post. Life is busy, work is good, and the boys do well. Oh, and go USA.

Now, on to the pictures.

Andy's parents came out the first weekend in February. While they were here, the boys decided to show off their tent 'n tunnel.

Zach, eying the entrance/exit of the tunnel.

Alex, looking a little sad for some reason, crawling through the tunnel.

The next weekend, the four of us met Le, Sarah, Elly, and Christine's aunts and cousins in Omaha for a "Girl's day out". While the girls did whatever girls do when their men aren't around, the boys and I did fun things. Omaha Children's Museum, then The Amazing Pizza Machine (think Chuck E. Cheese on steroids), followed by Alex's request for the day (Target, Sam's Club, and Wal Mart). On Sunday, we headed home and made unplanned stops in Lincoln (to see Christine's grandparents) and Seward (to see Kyle and Amy, a couple of very good college friends) thanks to the weather. Our usual three and a half hour drive took ten hours, but we made it home. After searching the town for our missing dog (didn't find him, but he came home on his own sometime during the night) we all slept really well. Now, more pictures.

Zach, sleeping before any of the action on Saturday.

Alex walking through a construction tunnel.

The boys, playing in a silly looking car.

Zach, sleeping after the action. The boy likes his naps.

Alex knows all his letters. One night (while pooping) he was playing with his magnadoodle. He hollered at me from the bathroom "Daddy, I made an A!" This is what he made.

Alex, doing yoga with his mom. Zach, just watching. Yoga isn't really his thing.

Alex, playing his favorite new game - Airborne Ranger.

Lookout below!

Who's having more fun? Alex jumping, or Zach watching him jump?

This is what our couch looked like one night after Zach had a crying fit with his face buried into the couch cushion. Apparently, his right eye produces more tears. Who knew?

Just brothers enjoying a movie together - Cars, while sitting on a Cars Couch.

Zach's new shirt.

Alex and Zach's new shirts. FYI, Alex also loves his mommy, and Zach does love toys.

Zach, making a chair out of a bookshelf.

Daddy and the boys, playing in the snow.

Mush!

It's not Olympic bobsled. Its Nebraskan DaddySled.

There are your pictures folks. Have a good week.

Tuesday, Tuesday (and Zach's 15 month appointment)

Today was Zachary's 15 month doctor's appointment. He now weighs 26.2 pounds, and has 2 neat little pin-holes on his legs from those mean nurses. Other than that, he is the picture of health right now.

What follows are a few pictures from the past few days. First, Zach has become quite the climber, so we have had to move a few things around to keep the little guy safe-ish. And yet, he still finds places to get stuck.

Next, we all have dreams for our kids...I secretly hope my boys grow up to be therapists or teachers, or at least to have jobs where they feel like they make a difference in the world, and are happy to be doing it (most of the time).

My guess is, Zach dreams of being a plumber.

Plumbers crack on a 48 year-old, fat hairy man named Earl - kinda gross. Plumbers crack on a one year old wearing a diaper - adorable.

Finally, Alex is quite the puzzle man. The other night he was very well behaved during a short shopping trip to Alco (small town Wal-Mart for those of you unfamiliar) so we bought him a discount Lightning McQueen Puzzle. This took him about 5 minutes first time out of the box. I'm concerned he may be too smart for his own good.

Happy Tuesday, have a great Wednesday, and we hope good weather finds it way to you this unpredictable time of year.
