life lately

The combination of school starting, a new grad school class beginning, and prepping for baby brother has meant that the blog has been neglected. Despite our social media absence, life has been very blessed lately.  Here are some photos of what we (mainly Everett) have been up to since school began. 

At the class he goes to at church they do a lot of coloring projects and Everett's coloring sheet would always come home blank.  He was so disinterested in arts and crafts.  However, coloring has been a big win lately.  It's like a switch flipped and now he can't get enough of it. I love it. 

He climbs. All. The. Time. 

This is the most sweaty and red-faced I have ever seen Everett!!! Tom's school had a "family fun night" before the first home football game and it was a hot one.  Two of Everett's friends from Miss Patti's (his daycare) were there and there was a bounce house/obstacle course thing so he had a BLAST.

Everett's daycare buddies.  They are so cute together. 

Everett still has a continued love for trains.  Almost every day he says, "Dada play choochoo." Translation: Dad, come build me an awesome track to play with (like the one you see below). 

Everett has been "helping" to prepare for baby brother's arrival too.  Tom painted the trim white in the baby's room over labor day weekend so he let E pretend to paint a bit.  Needless to say, Everett was really bummed when he realized that during nap time daddy painted without him.
