Liam builds train tracks most days still.

The boys read books in bed if they get to bed early enough.

Lamoni is master of Liam's bedtime routine.

And with behavior talks...

And waiting patiently on the side of the road with Liam while he finishes his screaming fits...

And Sunday morning routines.

We have 4 bedrooms in the house, and 6 beds, and yet these two boys are found asleep together in a twin bed sometimes!

Liam loves to get up in the morning, grab his stool and go around downstairs turning on all the lights. Then he sits down for some breakfast.

We have some neighbor children from church who come over often. The older boys are sooo helpful with them!

Lamoni lets the boys drive home on our street.

Liam is almost as interested in cars as he is in trains.

Liam and Jocie!

A brother burrito

He is probably pretending to be some sort of animal here.

Homeschool group at the library for a first aid demonstration. All the boys were sitting together so well and I was on the other side of the room chatting with the moms. It was like a different life is starting!

Not sure which animal he is here, but he's almost always in imagination land.

One of Lamoni's delicious pies!

We took the boys to a Chinese restaurant. We hadn't been to a sit-down restaurant in a while and they did so well! They sat there politely and tried all the food. I was so proud of them!

We were in Charlotte for a conference and Lamoni had way too much fun teasing my mom.

Homeschool activity at the Indian Cultural Center.

Lamoni does all the boys' hair each Sunday.

I had to document this, because he rarely falls asleep on me any more.

Another animal in a cage.

Mel and Melinda stayed a couple weeks. It was sad to see them go!

Benjamin and Peter playing a duet.

Liam usually won't take care of babies (he insists he still is one), but Jocelyn asked him to feed her and he did!
