Frosty and Bro-Bro

We have had so much fun the last three days, Trinity, Kyle and Owen flew into Baltimore for a visit. Kyle was busy all day at the horse sale, so me, Brodie, Trin, and Owen played all day. The boys had a blast and it was so nice to have my best friend here for a little while. I have to say that for two year olds, I think they got along better that we could have ever hoped for. It looks like they may be following in mine and Trinity's footsteps.

Brodie and Owen

One of the many conversations that they had.

Owen: My nickname is Frosty, Brodie whats your nickname?

Brodie: Uummm... Bro-Bro. Baby Gabi calls me Bro-bro.

Owen: Okay Bro-Bro.

At the aquarium

On day two we took the boys to tour and old battle ship. It looked more like a pirate ship and the boys argued over who the boat belonged to. It took both of them to try and turn the wheelDown stairs in the cannon roomThe boys were having so much fun running around the boatpretending to sleep in the soldiers hammocksDon't they just look like they could get into a lot of troubleBefore we left the ship the boys got to ring the bell a couple of timesAnd of course they had to pretend to shoot the cannon at Captain HookDay three was Trins birthday and we took the boys down to Fells point And then we took a water taxi back to the Inner HarborTrin and the boys on the water taxi
Me and BrodieTrin and OwenOnce we got back to the Harbor we went to Cheesecake Factory and got a slice of cake for Trins birthday, the boys blew out the candle for herThank you so much for coming out Trin. We had so much fun with you and Owen.

Long Drive and new additions

The drive home from Arkansas was a grueling 22 hours, which we did straight. I can't believe what a trooper Brodie was. We only got out of the car twice to eat and I can successfully say that we made the trip without one single tear. It was amazing. We drove through the night, thinking that Brodie would sleep through most of it. But that wasn't the case. He was just happy to be eating snacks and watching movies. I think that he might have even enjoyed the road trip. And the other big news that we have is that Brodie is having a little brother.

Brodie traveling in comfort

entertaining me and Joe by singing to us at about three in the morningonce we got to the new house, we unpacked all of Brodie's toys. Luckily our new place has a ton of room. We made the basement Brodie's playroom. I think this is the first time we had all of his cars in one place. The basement looks like a toddler's version of Cribs.Joe made a track on the floor for all the riding toys

This is our new addition at 9 weeksand his profile at 20 weeksAnd for all those who have been asking for this, here is the belly at 22 weeks.

Easter

This year we had Easter at our house, which was a little crazy because we had just moved in three days before. So Joe and I unpacked all the toys first, then the living rooms as fast as we could. And then after Easter we all came down sick which wasn't too surprising considering the crazy week that we had. Despite all the last minute running around, Easter turned out great and the kids had a blast.

More Hot Springs

Hi everyone, sorry it has been so long since the blog has been updated. We have just been so busy with moving, doctors and settling in to the new house. Here are some pictures of all the fun we had living in Hot Springs.
