Tunnel Play

Jack and Charlie have started to play together really well. Sometimes it makes me nervous b/c they can be so rough, but they love it. Boys! One thing they love to do is play in this tunnel. They'll chase each other and Jack will throw things in the tunnel for Charlie to go after or while he is in there. Here is a pic of Charlie during this playtime. Do you think he is having fun? Notice the 5th tooth coming in on the bottom.

Look how tight his shirt is. Is it b/c he is growing? NO! His face says "Ah, help me!"
His brother is trying to drag him out.

Jack is so proud of his new Thomas the Train t-shirt. Thanks Teresa! Maybe I'm boasting, but we sure do have cute kids.

The Zoo

Last weekend we took a mini-vacation to Little Rock. We stayed in a hotel that had an indoor pool and swam on Friday. Then on Sat, we went to the zoo. Here is a picture of Charlie and Jack on the drive up there.

And this is Jack on the return drive. If I had taken a picture of Charlie, all you could have seen was the top of his head, he fell asleep before we left the zoo parking lot. And Jack was out no less than 5 minutes later. They were exhausted! But they had a good time!

The zoo had a 30 min show w/ a singing hostess (the red haired lady you see in the background) and this tree frog. It seemed that the boys enjoyed the show, although they didn't participate in any of the songs. I asked Jack if he wanted to take a picture with the frog and he said yes. However, he was less than thrilled when he actually got close.


Do they look like they are having a good time? Maybe a little tired.

The day we visited the zoo, the bears were celebrating their birthdays. Jack got to view one bear eating his cake from his daddy's shoulders. There was quite a crowd.

When we asked Jack what his favorite part about the zoo was, he said "The choo-choo train and tiger." We weren't able to photograph the tigers, but we did get the train ride. Here we are waiting for the train ride to start.

I think that's an orangutan up there. It was huge!

Random Shots of the boys

Mark went out of town for a week, attending a conference in TN. The boys missed him a lot, especially Jack. Mark returned after Jack had gone to bed, so it was a suprise to find daddy home the next morning. This is a snapshot of that morning. Precious!

Bath-time around here is wild! I much prefer Mark to give them a bath here lately - they are so rough!


We had a beautiful winter day back in the beginning of March, so we went to the park.
