long live nap time.

nap time is the ONLY time i can get anything done these days because of this little fellow...
we went over to the herricks (wagenfuhrs & dykstras) for a bbq and had a great time. it was such a beautiful evening to sit outside and chit chat, laugh, and watch gabby and lane play in the sprinklers. gabby was so cute, she kept calling lane, "ween." what fun ages! typical lane. the drooling has started again, in full force!! what a mess. the best way to describe our one year old right now is a tornado. everywhere he goes he leaves a trail of disaster. it's exhausting, he normally naps just long enough for everything to be cleaned up only for the storm to start again. vance completed the backyard. when the snow melted this spring it reveled a very green clover patch, not grass like we were anticipating. so, for the past few months vance has killed everything, tilled it, put sprinklers in, compost, and SOD! lane now can play in GRASS instead of dirt. woohoo!! lately lane's diet consists of...fruit. it's all he wants to eat. well, bread too:) he got SO excited about the yummy watermelon!
lane LOVES light switches. he seriously looks for them in every room we go in, reaches high, wants us to pick him up. this morning, lane got smart and pushed the step stool so he could reach it himself. oh, that boy!
oh yeah...almost forgot to add this. lane has been pacifier free for a week! after our summer trips we said we'd work on not having a pacifier. he normally only had it in the car or if he was having a hard time falling asleep. well, we cut it cold turkey. much to my relief, i dont think he has even noticed. it's been an easy week...we just haven't gone on any car rides over 10 minutes. :)

I hate to tell you that the mess isn't getting any better at age 2 with a little boy! :)

We wish we were closer to you guys, too! I sure hope we can meet up sometime maybe over the holidays to get these two together!!!
