"I'm Busy Now..."

That's what Liam claims when we ask him to do something he's not up for. He used to use the excuse "I'm sick" (which he learned got him out of the nursery at Church), but gave it up soon after he was thrown into bed each time.

Liam's actually pretty legit. Recently he's been busy learning how to hold a wobbly, almost-as-big-as-you infant. This particular request to hold him was right before some crying that preceded my catch that preceded him running around the car 5 times. Liam informed me as soon as he got settled, "She's cute Mama."

Liam's also had a lot of fun with Tanner. Lately he's been busy learning the art of "how to hold a pole while Tanner fishes." He's actually pretty unstoppable on his Transformer pole.

Julian's had his fair share of being busy, too. He's a valiant lay-arounder so I can dress, change, feed, burp and transfer him to any place he desires.

side note: Michelle gave us this T-shirt from when Tanner was a babe. Awesome!

The look of concentration: bring chubby hands near face, try to put in mouth, miss, pull hand out and relocate, stick out thumb, steady, steady, steady... it's in!

The picture of Tanner and Liam is amazing!

I love that we have another thumb sucker in the family. Awesome...

Wow. Mary beat me to it. The father son picture couldn't be more profession and profound. Someone incredible must have snapped that one. Honestly, it's perfect and even powerful to see them together like that.

And what an incredible expression on Julian! That's intense. Eyes on the prize Julian, eyes on the prize.

Was it Dylan or Holden that took that fishing pic? I like to think it was Dylan because he is so amazing. And fairly warned be ye says I, stop the thumb sucking habit at age one, or by age six it will make you insane!
