Stacking crayons

More kid @ play

This time stacking crayons, and his new favorite word is 'Dada'.
FYI - his older brother is in time out for some mean language.

playing with toys

And here is the youngest playing with a ‘Melissa & Doug’ puzzle-type set.
He’s getting much better @ this one.

the boys running

Apologies if you aren’t entertained but we could watch videos of these two all day long.

This latest one is ‘boys running’.

Blog poll–favorite kid apps?

Okay blog readers, I’m asking for your input today.
Actually I have two related questions:

1. We are an iPhone-centric household and I’m looking for app suggestions for the kids. The preference is for free apps.
• Some examples from our household – Angry Birds (of course), Sunday Lawn, Geared, Baby flash cards, Where’s Waldo, Tozzle, Matching Zoo, Dress Chica, PBS Kids (for ipad), Rail Maze, etc.
2. Where do you find app suggestions? I have AppAdvice, occasionally peruse the iTunes App site & then follow some websites like Lifehacker.com via RSS feed.

So leave a comment and put a 1 or 2 next to the corresponding answer. We appreciate your insight.

A look back at what we did last March…

The machine gun laugh – hilarious

But there’s also a pouty face & more silly faces

stop, drop & roll

The kid went on his first field trip this week at a local fire station. He enjoyed checking out the fire truck & ambulance, and he even got to put on some firemen (fireperson?) gear. He regaled us with his tales at dinner that night and then showed off his 'stop, drop & roll' technique.

The first time was pretty good & relatively serious, but the second time was a little goofier for the camera.

A PSA from Stud Boy:

The boys dancing

The boys show off their seated dancing skillz. Well, at least Stud Boy does. Little Man is smiling but more of a ‘wallflower’ at the moment.
Enjoy.

A moment of cuteness

These photos & video are a bit dated (Thanksgiving) but I've meaning to get them posted here for a while. Here are the two cousins after seeing the Muppets Movie and enjoying each other's company.

If only they got along this well all the time.

The video proof

Apologies for the graininess, it was via camera phone and on the move.

National Championship weekend

As you may have heard, Team Lewis visited New Orleans the weekend of the college football national championship game. It was a lot of fun enjoying the NOLA for the 2nd time in the span of a year, this time with some family members. And the trip was capped off with a resounding win by Bama!

Before Monday’s game our time was oriented around sight-seeing, food & drink. We did Brennan’s, Stanley’s, Pat O’Brien’s, Oyster Bar, Café du Monde (x3 or 4), and more.
Here are some of the highlights pre-game…

There were many trips to Café du Mond for beignets & café au lait.

This is supposed to be a shot of Nick Saban doing a radio show on Saturday night – sorry for the graininess.

Yeah, that’s Trent.
