The Upside of Autism...

My brilliant little boy. He loves to spell with the letters... if he runs out (as you can see on the black board) he writes in the letters he is missing. My favorite is that his favorite words are the names of our family. He spells them all and then tells me "look mommy, there is the family!"

Before they get too big for me to take pictures at bath time...

Really

these little guys are such buddies. They can't sleep apart- mostly Becket- I love the yin yang here.

Lately we have been having the most amazing family days. We have no pictures of, but have loved seeing Marmie and Papa after Papa's latest half marathon. We were thrilled to go up and see Josh and Kristie's new house with 6 acres of us to run around in.

Life has been good.

Really good.

Too good.

Ever feel like you are waiting for the bubble to burst. I shouldn't feel this way. I hate my pessimism sometimes. It's just too good to be true.

The boys aren't perfect friends, but they seem to enjoy eachother so much. They are a good balance.

And they are a good balance for us too.

Happy
Second
Birthday
Becket!

We had the most wonderful time doing the birthday party I swore I would never do... Chuck E Cheese! The key to happiness - go in on a weekday and have the best friends ever!

Becket finishes off his birthday cake the old fashioned way... look at Aunt Kristie cheering him on.

Notice the tilt behind our cheating-favorite-uncle Josh

We enjoyed the day with a bunch of our good friends: The Budzynskis, Schreibers, Longs, Myers, Coons, Spences and of course the Langleys
