My kids are dinosaur crazy. They play with them all day long and know all of the names. This picture is so posed but it's taken at the Kenosha dinosaur museum.
This boy is happy doing just about anything. What a great baby! And when he's bored, he just sucks on his fingers.
Here's the kids hanging out in our swing set fort with the Wamsley boys. Josh worked on their dad most of the day so us moms and kids got together.
And the babies, Aaron and Sammy.
Last weekend we went to Milwaukee to visit the public museum in hopes of seeing more dinosaurs. The kids loved it!
This picture is so funny and is also posed. It's a real butterfly on the baby's head. He has no idea. Butterflies were flying all around him and he was still as calm as ever.
The only other exciting news this week is Aaron got his first two teeth, after many nights of crying, he is now sleeping all night. And much to my surprise, Jackson is potty training. He's got peeing down so now we're working on the other end.

Animal House

Here's our latest woodland creature that's come to visit our basement windowwell under our deck, a raccoon. We've also been visited by a stray cat several times and a rabbit.
We've also had a skunk under our front porch last summer.
Josh caught him in a trap and we called animal control to remove him. Josh also got a possum (not pictured) in the trap and we let him go in a different area.
And finally one of our many mice. We've trapped several in our basement water closet and the garage.

Sickness

Grandma Neubauer graciously stayed with us Monday through Wednesday of last week. Then she took the older kids to Beloit for a few days. She saved me from losing my mind due to Aaron not sleeping. Monday we found out he had his first ear infection. He's still not sleeping well but things are much improved.
While Joyce was here we were able to get out with the kids, which I have not yet managed on my own. Here we are at the mall.
And the library.
I never thought so before but after looking at Jackson's baby pictures, I can't believe how similar him and Aaron look.
I love this baby face.
