Oh Deer!

Sorry for the cheesy title, but I couldn't resist. This morning after breakfast Paul was playing with the blinds, so I decided to remove the temptation by opening them. Paul looked out the window and said, "Wook. Deer." Sure enough, there were four deer, a doe, two fawns and a stag. I got a few pictures as they grazed past us. We were even able to go out on the deck without them running away. Pretty neato.

We took the boys to the park this morning. The weather here has been a little chilly, but we all put on sweatshirts and life was good. The boys enjoyed the ginormous merry-go-round and the tether ball the most.

Love it.

Daddy and the boys on the coolest Merry-Go-Round ever.

Sleep has been going okay. We discovered that Paul is the problem, not Luke! The two year old is just way too in love with his older brother and is simply delighted to be sharing a room with him. We solved this by putting Paul down first, giving him a good half hour to fall asleep. Once he is asleep, Luke is able to get into bed and fall asleep without waking his little brother. For naps we just move the port-a-crib into our room so they can go down at about the same time. Today is actually the first day that Luke has napped here. I'm so thankful for the break.
The massage is not going to happen. Maybe next time. I was able to go for a wonderful bike ride all by myself yesterday morning. I rode up to the river and along it, stopping at this really cool bridge to enjoy the water and the view. Almost as relaxing as a massage and much easier on the budget. :-)
All the boys have been enjoying time with Mr. Mark, especially playing video games. Paul has started saying, "Wets watch Mario Tart." Oh dear.

Yep.
