Random Cuteness

I've been very bad about keeping up on this blog, and even worse about actually taking pictures of my kids lately, but have managed o take a few over the last few weeks- and finally put them on the computer.... In case you don't already know- Mike got a job, and it's pretty much in his field, he's working part time at the University and in the department he just graduated from!! There is a chance it'll go fulltime, but for now us both working part-time works and his hours are "normal" work hours unlike when he was in school and worked late most nights- now we can have dinner together! Yippee... Anyway, here's some random somewhat recent pics of the boys.

Rowan drew a self-portrait the other day- his first time actually drawing a picture of a person (and it kind of looks like a person..). I was very excited about it! The 2nd one he drew he actually added some crazy afro looking hair to his head....forgot to get a pic of that one!

I'm thinking the self-portrait might have been based on this picture.. :)

Crazy Eli

Sweet Eli (or just got done crying Eli, or possibly pooping Eli... can't really remember)

Everybody loves a baby in a bowl- right?

"CHEESE!" I've been trying to get a pic of his cheesey smile for weeks, Mike took this one, but it's as good as some of his smiles.

Rowan insisted I take a picture of his belly button the other day, I'm sure he also meant for me to post it on the internet for everyone in the world to see. He would probably also want everyone to know (or at least will by the time he's a teenager) that he and Eli were around the living room like crazy- N-A-K-E-D- there are much better pictures I should be posting. Maybe after I learn how to make a black bar on them!

Fire

One of our favorite things about where we live is being able to have bonfires! To give you an idea of the size of the fire- we usually burn pallets- whole. The other night after Eli went to bed we headed out to enjoy the fire, Eli must have known we were having fun cause he woke up right away so he got to come out too, although was pretty sleepy- probably a good thing since he didn't want to walk and check out the fire.

The sky looked goreous that night, this is the garden lit up by the fire- on the right
