Our house has been hit with a sick bug and we are all (even those of us who never got it) a bit off. So I have nothing fun or interesting to say about any of us here - so thought I would post some cute pictures of the nephews instead! This is Stephen. We gave him a late birthday gift while we were in Dayton this past weekend. Two-year-old Stephen is a future weatherman. If you say "Good morning, Stephen!", He'll reply with "It's cold and rainy outside." Or for example when we got to their house we said, "Hey Stephen!", which he replied with, "It's dark outside, very dark."

Jacob is our, oh how do you say it? Brilliant nephew. They are all smart so I would never say "He's the smart one" - Maybe we'll just call him Mensa. Anyway, he's almost eight but probably reads at a high school level. He's a great one to get lost with - he used to remember all exit numbers off the highway. I can't even get my orientation correct in a department store.

Jackson and Ben playing helicopters. Ben seems to be the creative brain so far. He's really into drawing and constructing things. Maybe one day he'll build me a new house - one can dream right?

More posts to come. We are too tired, too drained, too pooped to do anything but crawl into bed and watch The Daily Show.
