Bit O' Catch-Up

We spent Easter weekend in Iowa with "Uncle Wuke & Aunt Chwistie".

The boys had a ball together!

Monkey see--monkey do!

Easter morning

Laughing at the "oof"--doggie.

Ellie had a birthday!

Lounging in the new chair.

All dressed up for the party. (That didn't last long)

Dinner And A Three-year-old

We seem to have funny conversations over dinner, although not exclusively, but last night was no exception. Scott asked Braden what he wanted to be when he grew up. He started out saying, "oh, I'm gonna play all the sports, like...", then he paused. He asked, "which sports don't have mascots?" (Yes, the kid is still scared of mascots!) Evidently this is the criteria he will use in determining his life's ambition. We finally got around to golf not having mascots, so I guess that's settled!

Then, out of the blue, Braden asks, "why was I in Mommy's tummy?". Scott starts explaining that that's how God allows babies to grow. Then he goes on to tell him that he (Scott) was in Grandma's tummy before he was born and Mommy was in Grammy's tummy before she was born. Braden doesn't miss a beat and says, "wuhl, next I'm gonna be in Grandpa's tummy!". Poor kid asks us all the time, "why are you laughing?".

Braden's world is full of new and exciting things on a daily basis, especially now that baby sister has arrived.
