Tears, digger, merry-go-round and airplane ride

The following are a few photos that tell the story of our lives for some of this winter. 

 Gabriel has been crying much more these days. At times it is justified after his big brother has pushed him over, sat on him or hit him. Other times it is a manipulated attention getter. I'm not certain what this one is for here in this pictures. But it is a great example of his crying face.

 Charlie is growing up and able to do so many more things on his own these days. This is a photo of Charlie using a digger to move pebbles. I love how focused he was on this machine.

 Charlie rode on the merry-go-round in Spokane all by himself over Christmas break. This was a first for him!

I decided to fly home with the boys at the end of Christmas break. I'm grateful the flight was only 45 minutes. These two sure had fun on the flight! Charlie is a plane guy. He knows all about airplanes and would be one happy kid if he could take an airplane ride on a regular basis. I'm looking forward to a time when Gabe flies with ease like his big brother does now.
