Phone Photos

I'm not on Instagram, which is ironic since I love photos so much.  I'm also not on Facebook, which is ironic since I love photos so much.  Despite avoiding social media like the plague, I still love sharing photos every once in awhile.  So for anyone who cares about such things, here are some of my recent favorites from my phone:



Caleb could currently be labeled as a double-major in Animals and Superheroes, with a minor in Dinosaurs.  He really knows how to blast the bad guys with repulsor beams and spider webs and batarangs.  Supervillains, beware!



Kai is not a double-major like his brother, but he takes his major in Construction seriously.  He is passionate about diggers and dump trucks and backhoes and front loaders.  Dirt and rocks, prepare to be dumped and loaded!



Asa has chosen the competitive major of Total Cuteness.  There are many other babies out there majoring in the same degree, but we're confident that our baby surpasses them all.  When this kid smiles, no one else can compete!



After a hard day of playing, these boys couldn't keep their eyes open any longer.  That's how you know they played to their hearts' content!



Also, as a heads up, if you come over for a visit, there's a decent chance you'll interrupt Naked Time.  There's no telling exactly when it happens every day, but it happens often.  As it turns out, little boys love to be naked :)



Taking three kids to the store is always an adventure!  This particular day they were excited by the huge cart and mostly stayed where they were supposed to...except when we passed by the lobsters.  That is, after all, why we go to Meijer over any other store: the lobsters are a hit every time!



My dear friend Steph came for a visit and had the privilege of meeting Asa for the first time, and I had the privilege of capturing this hilarious photo!  I'm still not sure what upset the boy, but his little old man face is priceless and I've found myself returning to this photo whenever I need a laugh :)

Highlight Reel

It's been awhile since my last post, not because we've been overly busy (although life with three little boys is, by definition, busy), or because I had forgotten, or because I had nothing to post about.  I simply haven't prioritized blogging since the holidays.  So in an attempt to catch up without writing too much, I'll just put some pictures in a "highlight reel" from the past few weeks.  These are some of my favorite moments.

And just for fun, I'll throw in a couple videos of Kai, because he's been doing things to make us laugh lately.
