Christmas

Christmas day was filled with lots of fun at our house. We enjoyed watching the boys open gifts and welcomed the Lindstrom grandparents in the afternoon. The day after Christmas brought snow which was thrilling for Greg and the boys enjoyed it too. We walked around in it, but there wasn't enough to play in.

December

December: We went for walks, played outside, tried on silly hats, decorated the Christmas tree. These are a few of my favorite pictures from December. And just one tucked in there from November from Kyle's 4th birthday.

Trick-or-Treat

Erik dressed as "Bibleman" for Halloween this year. If you don't know who that is....he's a really great super-hero and both boys enjoy watching the DVDs. Kyle dressed up as himself. And Greg and I were a blast from the past. We looked like we did 20 years ago when we were Revere High School sweethearts. I pulled out my flag squad outfit and Greg wore his old football jersey. We all had lots of fun this year.

Grandparents Week

Erik and Kyle had both sets of grandparents visit last week. We had lots of fun with them including visiting a pumpkin patch and playing mini-golf. We also spent the weekend in Myrtle Beach enjoying the pool and beach too! Thanks to both sets of grandparents for making the trip to come see the boys and celebrate their birthdays. And thanks to Aunt Sue for providing a great place for us to stay while at Myrtle!

New Glasses

Erik got new glasses on Sunday after crashing into a little girl at church on Saturday and breaking his old ones. Thank you Lens Crafters for being open on Sunday! :)

Soccer

Erik is playing soccer this fall with a team from his new school. He is #10 on the Fire team. These pictures are from his first game. Erik scored one goal! Go Erik!

Erik Turns 6

Erik's birthday! He got new legos, a Wii game, and a Bibleman costume. We celebrating by going out to dinner at Sticky Fingers. He had a hard time sleeping the night before his big day, probably because I decided to put a bunch of balloons in his room that night so he would see them in the morning. Unfortunately he woke up at 2am and didn't fall back asleep until about 4:30am. Ugh! Don't worry I won't do that again next year!

BEACH

We have been to the beach a bunch of times this summer. (I love having weekends off work!) I have forgotten the camera EVERY time until Labor Day weekend. Here are a few pictures of us having fun at the beach. It will probably be the last time we get to play in the water until next summer.
Kyle loves the water and enjoys going under the waves and holding his breath. Erik gets upset if he gets the salt water in his eyes so he has learned to wear goggles in the ocean which prevents him from running back to the beach for a towel every time a wave hits him. Both boys love playing in the sand too. Erik helps me build a sandcastle and Kyle's big job is to get buckets of water and make pictures in the sand.
