Update

A bunch of things have gone on since my last post which was done almost a year ago. Anna had our third boy in January (Jacob).  He is fat and healthy. He does a good job at sitting on his own, no crawling though.  We may have to put him on weight watchers before that will every happen.

 This past spring we did a bunch of work on the back yard.  Previously the sandbox was back against the fence and had nothing to cover it, so the boys would be in the direct sunlight while playing there.  Both Miles and Sam would become overheated easily if Anna did not make sure they ate plenty of otter pops and drank plenty of juice. To remedy the problem I thought it would be fun to build a club house over the sandbox.  This would provide another place to play and cover them in the heat of the sun.  Since the boys had carried away a bunch of sand I was going to shrink the sandbox and make the club house 6X6  That plan got shot down by Anna. It ended up being 8'X8', so I actually had to expand the sand box.  It took a few weekends to build (it still needs siding and windows but other than that it is done).  The boys spend a great deal of time out there and even eat most of their lunches out there on a little picnic table. The boys and I have also had two camp-outs in the clubhouse this summer.
