Friends!

A few of Chris' friends--who we don't see that often--were in town a few weeks ago, so we got together so they could see everyone's kids too. It was tons of fun, but keeping the kids still for a picture wasn't as easy as we hoped.

Christmas pictures

The boys had lots of fun Christmas morning. We didn't buy a ton and quickly saw that we still bought too much. They opened a few favorite presents, and we lost them after that.

And, yes, they will hate us for dressing them in matching pajamas when we look back at these photos 15 years from now.

Also, please note that Liam could have cared less about the presents Christmas morning and really only focused on getting a graham cracker.

Is it January 31 already?

Dear blog readers,

I apologize for the LOOOONG break in blogging. The last three months have been, well, interesting. To say the least.

You haven't missed a ton with the cold weather and all. We've been playing in the basement a lot, with a few occasional outings here and there.

But mostly, we've been going to a variety of appointments...doctors, therapy, etc. Right around Thanksgiving, Liam and Chris got pretty sick. We didn't make it to PA, which was probably best for the health of our family there. Liam was over it in about 12 hours...Chris wasn't as lucky. He actually got so sick he passed out and landed us in the ER for some stitches and a few IVs. It was cra-zy.

Shortly after that, we took Quinn to our local children's hospital for an evaluation in their autism clinic. After a day of meetings with different specialists (he did great, btw), they diagnosed him as having an Autism Spectrum Disorder. He fell on the low end, so they are pretty hopeful that he should overcome some of his communication issues with therapy.

So now he's getting weekly therapy through the PACE program (awesome program) and speech therapy through the children's hospital (not really a fan of that just yet...giving it a chance though). Quinn's finally communicating a little more, which is helping him not be so frustrated all the time.

Liam, on the other hand, is SUPER social and talking up a storm. He started walking/running around Thanksgiving and now really enjoys torturing his brother. Never a dull moment at the Webb house.

So, that's what you missed in a nutshell. Oh and, for your enjoyment, here is a picture from Christmas Day.

Stitches already?

So poor little Quinn was trying to cheer up a crying Liam with tickles and wrestling, and then things went bad.

There was a crack so loud I was sure Quinn had some kind of skull fracture. But, alas, he just needed three little stitches. And, if you talk to Chris, getting those three little stitches was no small feat.

Quinn seems to have forgotten all about the stitches though (especially when daddy brought home a slinky)...until we have to go get them removed in a few days.

Trick or Treat

Apparently our boys don't like stuff on their heads. We seemed to have fooled Liam, but Quinn wanted no part of his costume's hat (in case you couldn't tell what was going on in the photo). We ventured down the street and back for a little candy, but it was freezing cold so the boys were ready to hang up their costumes.

Regardless, they made a cute little Yoda and Darth Vader.

May the candy be with you...

Last days of warm weather

We enjoyed some 70+ degree weather on Friday, so we were sure to get outside and take advantage of it.

Our original baby and the two who wrecked her world... :)

Why little brothers exist

Quinn finally discovered the joy of having a little brother...putting him to work.

Mind you, neither one of them talks, but they managed to work this arrangement out. Poor Liam started out pushing with socks on, but I helped him out a little and took them off.

He gave up in the end to get a drink. Well deserved!
