Ok, so I did find some pictures

Did I say not much exciting has been going on? How did I forget our exciting Saturday last weekend?! Gone is the old harvest gold, water-wasting, ugly triangular toilet. The hall bathroom has now been introduced to the 21st century! First Sean tried out the bowl in the living room. He also thoroughly inspected the new toilet and all of its levers and working parts.

Here is a cute shot in his crib just after nap time. If only I had cleaned his face off better after lunch, this would be one to print!

Here is an after-nap video. I usually take him out of the crib right when he wakes up so that he doesn't think of it as a playpen, but there are some exceptions. I think on this day I was just letting him go because we were having a rough day - hence the "Are you a terrible two?" questions which turned into a game.

Oh, how I wish I were crafty!

These projects look like so much fun!

Update

Sorry for the lack of posts... not much exciting has been going on around here. We are heading to the ND/Pitt game this weekend, so I will have a lot of photos to post once we get back....

Around the house

Here's Mrs. Deer (or should I say Ms. Deer, since I have never seen Mr. Deer) in the corner of our back yard. Usually she has two little ones tagging along.

I've been working on opening some of our windows which are painted shut. Why would anyone paint his windows shut?! I just don't know. I live for fresh air in my house. Anyway this particular window was a little scary because I had to climb high up on a ladder. I do not like heights.

Ok, on to Sean. Mr. Sean loves to play outside! This is at the front of the house.

I tried to get Sean to sit nicely on a rock and smile at the camera. It was a good effort. The pergola shadows kind of threw me off too.

Sean is getting ready to sweep the sidewalk.

That's a nice pose!

In the family room.

Sean was really into playing the piano the other day. Unfortunately he woke up early from his afternoon nap, so he was a bit tired and losing coordination. I sort of feel bad posting these videos at his expense, but they are cute and funny. Apologies for the lack of focus with the camera.

Here is a video of Sean inspecting one of the piano wheels. The floor is a little uneven so this one moves, which is terribly interesting.

That's it for now - GO IRISH! Beat Tar Heels!

Sean makes his debut in Notre Dame magazine!
