Buzz, Buzz, Buzz

Not much has been going on around here - as usual. I've just been noticing some cute things about the boys. They are both doing high-fives now. They love it. Colvin smacks your hand pretty hard. Nolan just puts his hand up and barely pats your palm. At this point in their lives, that kind of sums up their little personalities to a tee. Nolan likes to stand and spin around until he gets dizzy and falls down. It cracks him up. Colvin likes to say meow to the cat, although it sounds more like "mow" - like cow, but mow. They are both wanting to climb on anything and everything. Yesterday I found them up on top of a desk. This morning I gave them each their first home-haircuts. Or buzzes. Mark gave himself one to match. It's very cute, although I think I like Nolan's hair better a little longer. Yesterday the boys had a little play-date with their friends John (two and a half) and James (7 months). John must have felt like my boys were a little tornado moving through his playroom. I've been walking in the evening with their mom, Amber. It feels great to be out getting some exercise. My dear mom came over and sat with the boys while I went for one of my new attitude drives. Sometimes a girl just has to get out in the desert and get her wheels dusty. It was great. All I did was drive up to Apache Lake to sit in the restaurant up there and read, but it was just what I needed. Last night Mark let me get out and go to a movie with Lora. These little bits away sure do make you glad to get away and even more glad to get back and give those precious boys a big hug. Yesterday they got to hang out with their grandpa while I ran a couple errands. Well, here's a couple pics of the new do's. They weren't letting me get any great shots, but you get the idea. I hope you all have a great 4th of July. I'm sure it will be pretty quiet around here.
