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!

Cracking each other up

Quinn and Liam are starting to finally play together. Translation: Quinn is finally giving Liam the time of day.

I love how Liam sits and waits for Quinn but still screams and how Quinn knows to duck to go into the tent but not to come out!

Our superheroes

Just because these were too cute to not post...

Did you know Batman and Superman's favorite thing to do is read?

Birthday take four

Tired of watching Liam open birthday presents yet? Here's a few more from Grandma Trudi's visit.

Liam, unlike Quinn, likes opening presents!

Liam's birthday party

We decided on a pumpkin theme for Liam's birthday since it's fall and all (and who doesn't love fall). Cute pumpkin decorations, snacks and all. But the best part was all the friends who came to celebrate with Liam.

Congrats Sadie

Quinn and I went to see our little friend Sadie get baptized. Sadie and her family looked beautiful!

We love you Sadie!

Liam's birthday day

Both daddy and mommy were home for Liam's birthday, so aside from poor Liam going to get shots for his one-year checkup, it was a pretty fun day.

We shopped a little, we ate a little, we played a little. And then we had an ice cream cupcake.

And holy cow. How did Liam get to be one already?

Oh man

Dear blog friends,

We have soooo much to catch up on. Since I posted last, we've been very busy. Mommy and daddy went to St. Louis for a very fun wedding (congrats Andrea and Brian!), Liam turned one, our friend Sadie got baptized, we had a party for Liam, three grandparents visited, and Liam and Quinn finally decided to play together. And lots of other stuff probably happened too, but I can't think of it all right now.

So, the next few posts will give you a glimpse of all that and more.

Enjoy!
