Bathtime

I've given the boys quite a few baths together, but this time I felt I could run and get my camera and trust Noah could hold Tristan up. Tris is a lot more solid now. Noah always wants to help wash him and rinse him off. I've said "be careful" so many times that Noah repeats it over and over and over anytime he does anything with Tristan.

Tristan is so hard to get smiling pictures of! He smiles all the time, but then he sees the camera and he immediately goes into curiosity mode. He always ends up looking a bit odd. I figure I'll just keep snapping pics and he'll get used to it soon enough.


Tristan is happiest right after bathtime for about 7 minutes before he gets his jammies on. He starts to anticipate the eventual feeding and sleeping and becomes impatient rather quickly, but for the few minutes he can bear he's a really happy chunky monkey.

What great bath pictures. I know what you mean about it being hard to catch their real smiles! It's tricky once they see your camera! I know Tristan's real smile since you've posed so many cute videos. He is growing & changing so much,I can't believe it!

I am glad you can bathe them together now. I bet they love it! When I bring Ava & Ember up the stairs and we head towarss the bathroom for their evening bath Ember start squealing & laughing & kicking her legs she is so ecited for bath time with her big sister. This is why I lOVE bath time so much. They have so much fun in there together. I never knew it would be so much fun!

I love Noah's smile and Tristan's wild little hair do. What cute little boys :) Tristan has such round pretty eyes!

Oh yeah & Ava ALWAYS says "Be careful Ember,be careful!" all the time too! How funny....must be an older sibling thing!

Hurricane Sandy

This will be a gleefully uneventful post, but I thought I should at least inform everyone of our whereabouts during Frankenstorm. On Friday the landfall predictions were further south, which had the eye passing near our tiny town after obliterating Dover, DE.  We happen to be surrounded by water.  The Patuxent River on one side, Chesapeake Bay on the other, plenty of swamps and creeks in between.  Not a good prospect. Josh and I had gone out that night to try and secure supplies and already, there were no batteries or flashlights.  We also don't have a grill and thought "we'll try Lowe's tomorrow"I mean, most people already own grills... right?  Everything in our house is run on electricity (including the water pump for the well) except for the fireplace.  I don't know what builders are thinking when they do that.  I at least want a gas stove and water heater!  So, anyways.  We got a few hours of sleep before trying to brave the crowds...

Germany

Noah and I are having a great time out in Germany with Josh. The house we're sharing is amazing and the people are also amazing. The only thing we don't have is our own kitchen, but like I said, the people who live here (Josh's friends) are amazing so it's not even an issue. I've been cooking for everyone to try to thank them in some way. We haven't been to many places yet. It's hard to go anywhere with a baby who has a naptime and a husband who has a job. However!! We managed to make it out to Heidelberg to see the castle. It was awesome. the walk up to the castle mmmm castle Heidelberg down below Christmas is huge here. They've even got Christmas markets out in the parking lot in front of WalMart. We've been to Luisenplatz a few times in downtown Darmstadt to visit all the Christmas shops they have set up. It's like a Christmas flea market. Thus far all I've blown money on is candy... mmmm German candy is so delicious. It's...

Hiking on the Guadarrama Trail

As promised yesterday, I actually left the house and went on a hike with Mama C and Goober!  YAY! I was a bad Mommy and ill prepared to shield us from the hot Spanish sun so we all have a touch of sunburn.  Whoops.  It was fun though.  OK so here's where we began our journey.  You can see the bridge between the roundabout and the little house with a red roof (which is a restaurant).  All the cylindrical buildings were a plant nursery.  We walked over the bridge and past the nursery where we crossed the street and then started up the dirt path.  The other little building is literally a Gypsy Keep. Here's what it looked like from the road... and it was so ridiculously creepy, yet fascinating.  I don't know why there is always tons of junk in trees around gypsy places.  There was a gutted van in the backyard, a stroller jammed into a wall, shorts in the trees.  We both wanted to trespass, but the kids would have inevitably fal...
