The Joys of Raising Boys

Okay, this is Kyle. A few of these pictures require a short explanation. First of all, I took a picture of Jack in his little rocking thing the other day because when I saw him I totally thought he looked like he was wearing an Egyptian pharoah's headdress. I guess it's that whole history teacher thing.

Then, Jack fell asleep in his carrier the other day, and by the time he got settled down, he looked like he was either trying to go incognito, or he was stuck in the 80s.

Ethan wanted to take Jack on his first trip to the zoo the other day, so we did. Jack slept through most of it, but I think he had a great time. Ethan has also gotten very brave around Max. He actually pesters him, then laughs while Max tries to lick him, then thinks he's big stuff by ordering him around afterwards.

Ethan also got to use his finger paints the other day. As you can see, he has not quite perfected the technique. I keep trying to tell him that they are called "finger paints," not "fingers paints." Oh, well. He painted a great picture of a "cacoon" (as he calls it). You know, the thing before a "beauuutiful butterfly pops out."

MORE PICTURES AND A SHORT MOVIE...

Well, I had quite an eventful day. Papa took me to the zoo, then tonight I got to catch lightning bugs. It was great. My little bro Jack is doing great, too!!

More pictures!

Here are a few recent pictures.

I'M A BIG BROTHER!!

Exciting News! I am a big brother! My little brother, Jackson Dean, was born on July 14, 2008, at 7:35 a.m. He weighed 6 pounds and 8 ounces, and was 20 inches long. I've decided that I will share this blog with him, so I had papa change the name from "Little Guy's Place" to "Little Guys' Place." I will paste some pictures of our newest addition for you all to see!

A FEW MORE RANDOM PICTURES...

Here are a few more random pictures. The first one is a picture of mama and Jackson. I can't wait to see him!! Then, there's a picture of me after church this past Sunday. Finally, there are a few pictures of me playing on the playground at the zoo. Papa took me to the zoo as soon as it opened that day, then, as we were leaving the zoo, there were no other kids on the playground! I had the whole castle to myself!!

Random Pictures...

Here are a few recent pictures...mama and papa have been pretty busy lately and haven't been able to keep up with things!!
