Red eye

. . . would be more accurate than "pink eye". Micah is sick. He has "pink eye", an ear infection and a bad cold. Through all of this, he is still smiling and happy most of the time. His eyes got so red and swollen over the last two days that I had to take a picture. Also, tonight he was so exhausted (from being sick) that he fell asleep at 7:15 p.m. on the couch while I was giving Cal a bath. Those were all first time occurences (falling asleep on the couch, not bugging Cal and I while Cal takes a bath and falling asleep at 7:15). Poor guy!!

So much love

They are just so loving toward one another, as shown in these pictures. In case you are wondering - yes, they are always this happy to be around one another. :)

cameraman

Is he lined up to take a picture of Michael Phelps winning his 8th gold medal??? No, just checking out Daddy's camera.

. . . a few more pictures from Cuff's

Here we are heading out to the field, picking pumpkins and checking out all of the fun stuff you can do in the fields.

. . . more Cuff's . . .

Notice it is getting late here, but we stopped for one last picture of our "pumpkins". Calvin practically jumped through the hole in the pumpkin as he yelled "cheese".

Cuff's continued . . .

Here they are making the big climb for heading down the slide and running on the hay.

Cuff's Pumpkin Patch

Today we took the kids to Cuff's Pumpkin Patch. We did the following: went on a hayride, picked pumpkins, went on a train ride, ate hotdogs, went through a corn maze, went down hayslides and I am sure much more that I can't remember. Here are a few pictures of the corn maze adventure.

Bears fans

With 3 minutes left in the game, we anxiously await to see if the Bears can pull this one off. Either way, the boys are wearing their shirts/sweatshirts with pride. Sorry Papa Schem! :)

(btw - for anyone who didn't think they looked like each other, this picture may change your mind!)

What has Sherwood done to these kids?

We thought moving to Sherwood, a quiet little neighborhood, would be good for the boys. They recently started dressing in sweatpants and sunglasses and wearing their hats to the side??!!??

Easter at the Museum

We went to an Easter party at the Children's Museum through Abe's work (JJ Keller). The next few pictures show the kids enjoying the different parts of the museum. I am sure you will be surprised to note that Calvin enjoyed playing with the trains the most.

Men in Hats

I have no explanation for how they ended up with these hats on. I couldn't help but take a picture as I happened upon them playing contently with videos, looking like this.

24/7

If he could, Calvin would spend all of his time playing with trains or reading Thomas the Train books.

Bath time

Abe got some great pictures of Micah in the bath. Here are several of them. They all turned out really cute. Too bad Micah fell off his bike shortly before the pics were taken (note the red scrape on his nose - it's hard not to).

They look like they are sharing

. . . but they are probably just fighting over a train.

Like Father . . .

. . . like son. I wonder how long it took him to crop this picture, perfect the coloring, etc.?
