Big Boy!

Eason loved helping Grandpa install the new railing on our stairs. He is such a big boy and a good helper! He had to have his tools and do whatever Grandpa did. He just couldn't get over the holes Grandpa drilled. He is still talking about them. Every time we go upstairs he says, "Grandpa, nice...(then points to the rails) HOLES!" He continues until we acknowledge that Grandpa made holes while putting up the railing and that Eason helped. He is very serious about it. We don't imagine it will stop anytime soon either. He is still talking about the holes Poppy put in their ceiling when they renovated the dining room and living room last summer.

Eason loves being outside, partly because he gets to wear his boots! He has been enjoying playing in what snow is left. He had to take his bucket with him last night so he could get some "ice" which he then tried to eat!

Mommy's Little Helper

Here is Eason "helping" me cook!

He has been such a good helper lately. He loves taking care of his daddy! He actually seems to understand that Bryan can't hold him. He says, "Daddy hurt back." Then he tries to show us his back, "Easie's back." His Aunt Danielle has been taking good care of him lately; she has been staying over a lot to help out. She is a God send! I don't know what we would do without our family's help.

Eason can't wait to see his aunts and his cousins this weekend. He keeps talking about it! He likes to list everyone's names and then tries to call them on the phone.

Tonight, as I finished reading him a story called Hug, all he wanted to do was hug his Daddy. I felt bad because Bryan was already downstairs and has to limit his stair climbing. I of course, convinced Eason to give me all of Daddy's hugs as well as mine! I love being the mommy! I did promise to pass them on to Bryan though, I guess I had better do that now!

Here is a picture of Eason and cousin Keegan playing on the slide.

Welcome!

Hello! This is my attempt to capture some of the day-to-day joys of motherhood. Eason turned two in January and the new baby is due in June. With Bryan just having had back surgery this week we are certainly in for some trying times. Eason has been helping though...his new favorite word! He especially loves helping to make supper. I'll try to post some pictures of him "'helping" soon. I even have some of him helping to make his own birthday cake. He is such a ham.
