Toddlers and Scholars

 Andrew and Jonathan got plane rides yesterday. Andrew hated it; Jonathan loved it.

More bird-watching

Smelling the dandelions

Today is Tuesday, and we went on a hot date to Wichita. Here are some photos of the last couple of days:

All gone.

Clean-up time

Watching birds out the window. Andrew became obsessed with birds yesterday.

We made it to Hesston, Kansas, last night after a looong day in the car. The boys did really well though.

Here’s some pictures of our time in Freeport. The boys played on a swing for the first time, got to know cousin Micah, got scared of cows, ate lentils, poked cats, and took much-needed baths.

We’re leaving in an hour for Freeport, Ill., via Wheaton to see friends and to visit the archives there.

Here’s a picture of their new favorite game–sticking their butts in the air.

The development in our neighborhood is still on track. Here’s a story.
