The Butterfly

Earlier this month we headed to Newman Lake and the Butterfly lake cabin. The boys daycare was closed for almost a week and Tom didn't have any time off. So, my mom agreed to help me watch/play with the boys. I'm wondering if she regretted this after the level of crazy we brought! Something tells me, she loved it even with the extra energy and work. 

 Gabriel wasn't totally sure that he enjoyed being in the water. Charlie was being a great big brother and trying to help Nonnie with Gabriel.

 Here I am with my two little guys. I can't seem to get them to both look at the camera at the same time.

 These days we have to place tons of toys in front of Gabriel. If we are missing the toys, he screams. Toys are a must in his mind. This picture doesn't highlight the fact that Gabe can now sit up all by himself. Big guy!

Charlie is learning how to be comfortable in the lake. For the first few days he wouldn't jump into the water by himself. As you can see from this picture, he graduated to solo jumps.

 Aunt Beth brought her friend Emily out along with her son Aiden. Charlie and Aiden had lots of fun playing together as you can see above. Good times.

 Charlie and Boppa spent a morning mowing the lawn. Boppa bought Charlie his own lawn mower just for this occasion. This is wonderful training for the future.

Gabriel loved to flirt with his Aunt Beth. Beth sure is good with these boys.
