a weeks

worth of this and that

because we kinda just bounce around doing 

'this and that' all week

Starting off Monday at Nanas house

working on his chainsaw the next morning

back to nanas house on tuesday 

{and then they got SUPER sick and we have stayed away, super sad day!}

Wednesday before Bible study

and then Arie had a sleepover at Omas

so I got an afternoon and evening of solo time with this little one :) 

played so hard he fell asleep

up from his nap and ready to go to Omas

Thursday marked 7 weeks old

and all Arie wanted to do was clean

he walks around and says this is dirty

very uncertain of the suit to go outside

but then didnt mind was fast asleep 

hello 50 degrees in January!

 Arie was a HUGE fan

Friday fun

Saturday morning mama and Arie time

the gym (he wanted to go!) and then Meijers

look mom no hands

and to add to the fun a donut 

Mr. Alert

followed by Mr. Smiles

this NEVER gets old

cashed out again

and that is some of our fun :) 

big brother

and little brother

 big brother likes to hold and be in little brothers face

good thing little brother is pretty tolerant :)
