down time

our adventure in the caribbean starts in 3 short weeks, and we have been loving our down time at home since we left our lovely portland life. the boys did great on our way home thanks to some 1st time licorice for mads and some sleepy quiet time for our question-asking, talk-a-lot becks



we got home, had a day to unpack, and then headed up to edmonton for a little visit. beckam was in heaven with his amazing aunt alaina 2 patient cats to play with, and mads was in heaven with so many people to keep him entetatined. we love our visits with the tolmans and miss them already!


maddox is loving my parents' ginormous house (compared to our little apt anyway). he's found his way under chairs, into the pots and pans cupboard and just about down our spiral staircase! (thanks to grandpa for saving him!)



he also had a bad diaper rash and had a little accident while airing out the other day - oops! thank goodness they have dogs and have some good carpet cleaner! haha


dust has even had enough down time to build a snowman.....


all by himself cuz his #1 son was doing this! haha beckam is still scared of the snow and wouldn't step food into our snowy backyard to help his dad. maybe one day!


one of the best parts of down time at home is fun with the grandparents! lucky for the boys, nana comes home every day to play during her lunch, and papa had a little surgery so he's had some down time of his own to share with his grandsons.



if the snow is too scary piled up on the grass outside, bring it on in! thanks grandpa :)
