So today I was trying to get some good pictures of the boys for Easter pictures, but all I got were 100 pictures of Caleb... Ethan is not so cooperative when it comes to having his picture taken... I may post a lot of pictures of just Caleb for that reason...

Today Auntie Stacy and I took the boys to the Betty Brinn Children's Museum downtown... Ethan had so much fun!!! There was so much for him to do that he seemed to be so overwhelmed at first!!! He took a 3 hour nap when we got home!!! I think Auntie Stacy was tired too...

Mommy and Ethan...


Today we went to the zoo for a while... I thought Ethan would be more into the animals than last summer, but he really wasn't... All he wanted to do was run around the whole zoo and say "hi" to everyone!!! His favorite thing was the playground... It was such a nice day out-a little windy, but can't complain... After the zoo, we went to g-ma and g-pa Raap's house for corned beef and cabbage dinner... YUM!!! Great g-ma was there also - always so good to see her!!! Hope everyone was able to enjoy the nice day!!!

Brothers...

ETHAN & CALEB

G-ma and G-pa Raap watched the boys today while I went to the doctor (my 6 week postpartum check up)... Everything is fine with me and the doctor asked when I was gonna be back for prenatal check ups!!! Ha!!! Not for a while I told him... 2 is enough right now... G-pa got a great picture of the boys with his cell phone... too bad the pictures from cell phones don't look as good as a regular camera...

Visitors...

Angela and Ethan

Sarah and Caleb

2 of my friends from work came to visit us yesterday... they brought lunch too!!! Ethan enjoyed emptying their purses and finding "moneys" as he calls it... They let him take their change ("moneys") and put it into his piggy bank (actually a baseball bank)... Boy, did he have fun!!! It was nice for me to have visitors and have normal adult conversation...

Big Boy Caleb...

Caleb enjoys his tummy time... He has been awake so much more these days!!! It is nice to finally be able to interact with him... He has been smiling at us for a few days now and it just melts my heart!!! He is cooing too!!! My little man is getting so big already!!! Last week at his 1 month check up (he was actually 5 weeks old) he was 9 lbs. 6 oz.!!!

Wild Man Ethan...

We went to G-ma and G-pa Schutten's house for dinner with the family last night... Cousins Taylor and Claire were there too!!! Ethan loves running around the basement while throwing golf balls!!! (kinda dangerous!!!) Ethan loves the play with Aunt Mary... She is smart to be hiding behind the big exercise ball with Ethan running at her with golf balls in hand!!!
THE BOYS...

My Little Guy...



Scott and I must have taken 50 pictures of Caleb the last few days trying to get at least a few really good ones!!! I need a picture to put into his picture frame in the "1 month" spot... He has a frame similar to Ethan's where you put a picture every month up until 1 year old... It is crazy to look at Ethan's and see how much he has changed in such a short time!!!

My Funny Guy...



Ethan's newest thing these days are sitting under the laundry basket... It is so funny!!!

Caleb's Baptism...








Caleb was baptised on Sunday... It was a special day and we are glad to share it with our family... He was awake for most of the 1 hour + long service and was a complete angel during the actual baptism... He was wide awake and didn't even flinch when the pastor put the water on his little head!!! Uncle Aaron is Caleb's Godfather and Auntie Stacy is his Godmother...
