Daddy being home from work this week has been a great thing for all the boys! He helped Moise with his first bike ride today and in no time, Moise was off! Phoenix got into helping daddy fix a bike and it was a great time of winding down before dinner. These moments are so sweet!

My house....
STIIIIIIIIIIIINKS! Who knew 4 boys could stink up a house so efficiently and thoroughly? ;0) It's like one long, never-ending fart! I'm looking for some sweet savior to send me a gas mask......

GoodNight!
The boys LOVED their new beds, especially with the new blankets grandma made (as seen in grandparentsRfun. The first few nights in their new home have gone very well and everyone has slept through the night - with the exception if Logan. He had to fall asleep in the guest room last night because Phoenix was snoring SO loud he couldn't sleep. Phoenix definitely has some nighttime breathing issues we're goingto have to get looked at.

One of my favorite moments
was watching Moise "fish" for minnows with a bucket. He was always SO surprised when he caught some. The video should show up shortly - after it is done processing - so check back....

First Grocery Trip x2
So this morning we decided to tackle both Sam's Club AND Walmart for groceries and, since the special seat for our SUV won't be here for another month, we had to take 2 cars. I was expecting insanity...shouts of amazement and eyes wide with disbelief. On the contrary, it was surprisingly underwhelming. Moise walked alongside the cart with Logan, helping to put things in the cart and asking for specific things he wanted. He was so happy to be helping and a part of the team. Phoenix and Cai played happily together in the front of the cart, relatively oblivious. All in all, fun but oddly normal. Sorry for the crappy pics - that's whatcha get with a cameraphone....

Grandparents R Fun!
On day three, we stopped overnight at my parents house for introductions.My sis, and her fam showed up and to Moise's delight, we had pizza! Yes, his favorite. My mom has a veritable zoo (with guinea pigs, rabbits, cockatiels, dogs, turtles and a duck) and Moise, we found out is crazy about animals! He was so good with all of them! Phoenix was terrified of everything at first but quickly got over it. Intros went so much better than expected and the boys had a great time and adore their new grandparents. Here's a few pics from the day....

Day 2
These are the final pics from day 2 at our friends house. They hosted a little gathering in which a few friends had been invited to drop by throughout the evening to meet the boys. There were tons of kids and food and fun. The boys really enjoyed their time there and were all sad to leave. Now it's off to mee the rest of the family!
