Sweet

I'm free!!! Jeremy is making sure the kiddos are staying all tucked in while I am getting caught up on a few things in wireless-land. The UAA commons is quite cozy and quiet. Nice, huh? Anyhow, I don't have photos available (they're in the camera at home), but I just wanted to share one little niblit of cuteness with you - our delicious little chublet. He is now crawling, and trying to climb up to things...amazing what a lack of toys (exersaucer) have done for him...lots of tummy time has done the trick I suppose.

And it's also amazing to realize that we CAN live without TV. The girls are playing together better (most times) and coming up with some fun and interesting games. Imagination abounds! When we get back to Kansas, that TV is going into the basement.

We have had so much freedom by not having so much "stuff" around. We barely have enough dishes for the 5 of us, but it's been eye-opening. We're enjoying one another more and really realizing that we don't need much (we've known that for awhile now though). Try it - send your TV away for a week and see how closer you are to one another.

And go ahead, take another peek at sweet Brayton.

I love that picture of Brayton. We haven't been watching a lot of TV and we have had the same results. Also, it's crazy that Brayton is crawling. I doubt we'll recognize him when you return ... I'm glad you were able to get away because I always enjoy reading your blogs.

I just want to EAT him! We sure wish we could have seen you guys a whole lot more. Sorry it was so short. You will just have to make it this way again soon. I miss you!

He really is SOOOO cute Daliah. I LOVE his smile:) I'm sure he is growing like a weed, and will be huge when you get back. Have fun up there!

You guys look like you're having fun up there in AK! I hope we can make a trip up there as a family sometime soon. I like the no TV idea. We don't have ours on during the day, but at night it's always on. :P
