Train tunnels can be made by anything...

Mommy made a tunnel with a Notre Dame blanket and a small plastic table.

Liam made a tunnel with his leg :)

Friend or Foe?

It looks like Allie is finally starting to recognize that the boys could be his new best playmates. 

 

What did you do?

Mommy grabbed the camera, walked into the living room and said, "What happened?"  Liam immediately felt bad a ran and hide under the ottoman, while Gabe stood proudly and showed off his masterpiece :)

 

(look where Liam is at in this picture :)

I love my brother

Liam sleeping comfortably?

I don't think you understand the purpose of a pillow.

Cute pictures of Gabers sleeping

All the toys in the world...

... but nothing tops a boy with a stick.  We went for a walk and brought some cars, which were tossed to the ground when we found some piles of leaves and sticks.

Notice the cars on the ground in this picture with Liam.

"Daddy, do I have a mark on my face ... ?

... it really hurts ... my shoulder doesn't hurt, but my face does. Not here ... or here so much, but right here"

Gabe took a little spill the other day and smacked his face on what I call an ottoman and what Lisa calls a hassock (my word is better). The location of the bruise on his face demanded I remind you all of the greatness of Tommy Boy. Hope all are well.

An apple a day...

... keeps the doctor away.  I think the boys are laboring under the misconception that if they eat these, they will win their independence from their daddy and mommy faster :)

Some quiet time with Daddy

Can I use your phone man?

Gabe: Hmm.  My phone doesn't seem to get good reception in here. (In reality, his phone is a video camera)
Liam: Well, my phone is dead. (His phone has no battery in it)

Our favorite trains?

When you put the boys down for a nap, you'll usually hear them happily "talking" to each other for about a half hour afterwards. This afternoon I heard them making choo-choo noises over the baby monitor. Apparently water bottles make excellent trains and the wooden ends of their beds put together make wonderful tracks :)

The boys' new chairs.

Does that taste good guys?

Where'd the boys go?
