There is a lot of significance about today, and I will probably forget some of the things I wanted to mention. First, happy birthday to Grandaddy/aka trainsdad! We hope train fest was a great success this year and all went smoothly.
Today also marks the anniversary of a very special day last year. It is the day that little Trevor came home from the hospital!! Our first night with a newborn was something else, that seems like a lifetime ago. Here’s just a few shots from that day in 2011:
And here is my little t now!
“You’ve had your picture now. See ya folks!”
“I am outta here!”
It was actually a pretty nice morning. The boys both slept well and were in a good mood. Brendan woke up and had to play all of his turns in Words With Friends.
He caught up on the blog too, he has to keep tabs on his brother.
He sorted his barrel of toys
Trevor played in the toy area, he did not spend the whole morning trying to get where he did not belong. They sat and played together peacefully for almost an hour. I thought I must be in the wrong house.
Since the kitchen was a little chilly and Trevor’s reach is getting too long, he gets baths in the big boy tub. He had a very long playtime bath today with the bubble machine and everything.
The afternoon was not as smooth. Brendan had enough of Trevor stealing his toys. Note that this is not really a crying Brendan, this is the “I am really mad at Trevor and I am going to act out my meltdown” face.
We won’t even talk about the “Lake of Poop” incident that required a complete bedding change.
The evening wasn’t so bad. We were all relaxing after dinner and the boys were playing. Usually when Trevor goes to get in his jammies, he stops to get a milk bone for the dogs. I guess the dogs were just done with waiting for him because Eins (65lb, 3 legged dog) decides to enter the closed baby jail by leaping up on to the back of the couch!!!!
He perched there precariously long enough for me to say, “WTF!?!?” and then he jumped in to the room. My jaw hung open. He has never done anything like that. Trevor thought it was hysterical!
I did some grocery shopping tonight after the boys were in bed. It was weird going to the store without Trevor!
I hope they sleep well tonight!
I don’t post a lot but I do read your blog every day. Love the pictures – wish I had more of mine when they were little but back then we had to have film developed…OMG!! LOL I am glad everyone is doing so well. Thank you for sharing this important part of your life with us. And thanks to Cindy AKA Gramma for being my best friend in high school ~ good times!
What a difference a year makes. Both of the boys are so funny and I love seeing the pictures. Trevor is his own person and it really shows in pictures. Brendan is not going to take anything Trevor dishes out and it is to cute.
It is so hard to believe that it was only 3 weeks ago that I was still there! It seems more like 3 months. The boys change so quickly and look older in every post. Every day there is something new. I am SO glad that you do this blog so I can watch them growing and see all of the new accomplishments, if only on a screen from a distance. I hope they don’t forget me!
I love Trevor’s little innocent face in the background during Brendan’s fake meltdown face! They are acting more like brothers every day!
Bubbles everywhere!! That was quite a nice looking bath! He must have had fingers and toes that looked like raisins when he got out.
Thanks, Mary…I miss you, too!
Lots of love and hugs to you all. I miss the boys vey much.
Gramma XXXX

If “maryinnc” had not “invited” Cindy AKA Gramma , her best friend in High school , to a ” class picnic ” at Van Patton Woods, Friday, August 13th, 1971
– – – – – none of all of this would have happened. 😮 🙂 🙂
Thank You Mary, and Art. 🙂
Happy Birthday Granddaddy!
It’s amazing to see the pictures from the year ago. I love Brendan’s meltdown angry face. Just wait until he can put some noise behind that face and bellow his irritation to Trevor! I am so glad that you all had a peaceful, family kind of day with only a somewhat mild interruption by the Lake of poop.
