Thirty

Brian turns thirty today. Happy Birthday, Brian!!

Cheeseballs and Milk

Ucht Cheeseballs might be the devil's food. They have absolutely no redeeming nutritional quality, but they are amazingly addictive. We bought them for Brian's upcoming 30th birthday celebration. Gabe eyed them before I hid them in a too-high-to-be-convenient cupboard and made up his mind this would be his morning snack. I made the mistake of serving them in his cereal bowl. Naturally they needed milk. He wouldn't eat them until I figured out this is what he wanted and provided.

Layer one: orange shirt, khaki pants
Layer two: another orange shirt, pajama pants
Layer three: big boy undies.

This is another outfit of layers he insisted on. I hope the layer-phase fades as the warmer weather sets in. As I type this, he's tucked away in bed wearing two pairs of pajama pants. Luckily his room has no insulation, so he won't get too hot.

Did we mention?

I don't know that we've mentioned that we're expecting a new addition to the family at the beginning of August. We found out today that we'll be having another BOY. We're very excited to have two little boys running around the house!

Those rude shoes

Gabe has recently learned the phrase "how rude". Today when he was trying on five thousand pairs of shoes for the umpteenth time (a WONDERFUL hand-me-down package arrived in the mail yesterday), he had trouble getting one on. So he declared, "how rude" to the shoe and moved on the the next pair.

A Picture Says

Houston Zoo

We ventured to the Houston Zoo again last weekend. They have some great kid-friendly features like an aquarium with a tunnel through the bottom.

Helping unload the dishwasher

Gabe takes his job of helping me unload the dishwasher very literally.

Just call him Amelia Bedelia.
