Hey guys, what about me?

We had a good week at work and a fun weekend. It ended up being low-key, like most of our weekends have been, and we like it like that. On Thursday evening the Embassy hosted a social hour. They had music, food, and lots of kids running around. The weather is just getting cool enough where the evening are starting to feel really good.
On Friday we hung out at home, I went grocery shopping with Ben, and we went swimming at the Embassy in the afternoon. Caleb spent the morning coloring, stickering, and Bob the Buildering :).
Ben is becoming a fast crawler and he follows us around the house. All the crawling makes this little boy hungry. He is a great eater and chows down on whatever we are eating!
And a cute little eater, don't you think?
He does pretty good for just having 4 teeth, I think he is working on another on the bottom.
All done!
Ben is very sweet with Twix, and she seems like him too. She is probably thankful to not have her tail pulled or get sat on!
That afternoon, we went swimming. The boys love being in the water and are getting very comfortable in the kiddie pool.

Caleb is learning how to put his head underwater, and he is getting very brave picking stuff off the bottom of the pool.
Ben is a floater, and he likes to lounge in the water! I think he is looking more and more like Nathan.
Swimming = big dinner and an early night sleep
Nathan and I had a couch date. We ate this delicious veggie pizza and watched the Great Gatsby, which we thought was a great movie. I read the book in high school and thought the movie was very well done.
We also spent some time decorating. Our place is feeling like home, we just need to get some pictures on the walls.
Saturday morning we hung around the house. Caleb loves to listen to Nathan play the guitar (I do too, he is getting very good)! Caleb like to make everything a guitar these days, and Nathan is very patient showing Caleb how to strum :).
 This afternoon, our friends Joe and Susan came over for dinner and our boys had a fun afternoon playing.
 This was the first time we really saw Caleb interact with another kid. He usually plays alongside them, but today he and Nick were laughing, talking, and chasing each all over the place.
We had a fun afternoon with friends! 
Here they are in action...don't worry, Ben had a smile on his face most of the time, even though he was probably thinking, he guys, what about me?
 
 Hope you have a good start to your week!

What GREAT pictures. Yes, we agree, Ben is looking more like Nathan - you can really see it in the pool picture. Don't worry Ben, you will be up and running any moment, then it will be hard to keep up with you. Love and miss those boys, they are really growing up.
Love and miss you all 4,
Mom & Dad R

Enjoyed seeing how you are homing the place . . . homing is a similar verb tense to buildering :)
