Sat and Sunday pictures

BB is on crutches from surgery she had a week and a half ago.  We all had strep throat and other ailments and didn't get to visit her until this Saturday.  The kids made her cards and got her flowers and the little ones and I had a nice day at the farm (Marc took Marky to his basketball game).  The most exciting news at BB and Poppy's- a new air hockey table in their basement playroom- they had already gotten a ping pong table. These kids will never want to leave this place!  :)



Notice the horsey decals on the wall for Julia- (also- I want to remember how sweet Julia was to Tucker.  She kept beating him 15 to nothing over and over and without being asked she started letting him win without him knowing- he would look away and she would push it in and say- "look Tucker you got one!" and even let him win an entire game.)




And Tucker and Charlie LOVE the Thomas decals (and that's Marky's artwork in the frames)-



And here are things I don't want to forget about Tuck Tuck.  (I have no where else to write these memories).  For one- I've said before how he loves to learn.  He is always finding something to learn.  Today he himself found some preschool folders and worked them all.  He had come in from jumping on the trampoline and thought he'd "relax" with a little work-






 Also- I love how he knows ALL the phases of the moon (I still don't know how he learned those- Marc said he thinks it's in a book somewhere). He's obsessed with the moon (just like Daddy) and looks for it every day. A couple days ago he went on the deck and came in and said, "Mommy- today we have a quarter moon, no more crescent." Thanks Tuck. Then on the way home from church this morning I hear, "OH- Look through the trees everybody! I see a "Gibbous" moon! Do you see the gibbous moon, Mommy?" :) We love your thirst for knowledge Buddy Bear.



Charliebear after church and lunch.  Something I want to remember about Charlie- he LOVES soup.  I've never had a baby like soup, much less freak out about it, but I cannot eat soup in front of Charlie.  At Jason's deli all we get him is a cup of brocoli cheese soup and he eats the whole thing and then tries to eat mine and screams if I don't give it to him.  A quirky little Charlie thing.
 

"Cheese"- I leaned down to take the pic so he leaned down too. :)
   

"Stick"-
 

I dressed him more like a boy to compensate for the Breck girl hair-
 

Sissy the sweety pie. When we were taking a meal to BB I said, "Julia, feeding the hungry is a corporal work of mercy and that's what we are doing today." Her eyes got so big and she smiled and said, "YAY!! We are doing a corporal work of mercy! How wonderful! I'm going to offer all this food and even my whole day to God."
 

And finally the shaggy-haired big boy with giant eyes-
 

Can you please do a real smile just once? :) Thank you Buddy.
