In honor of Valentine's Day (okay, a little late) I thought I'd share some of Nolan's recent thoughts. Last night, at dinner, he started listing what he loves. He came up with this on his own. Here is what he said, "I love beans, cheese, hot cocoa, candy sticks, and lemonade. And mommy, and daddy, shoulders, faces, and silly faces, valves, computers, and some books and some scriptures. And eyes. I love those things every day." That's a lot to love, Nolan. 
We went to see Dear John for Valentine's Day. My parents were in town so they watched the boys. It was really good to see a movie... we hardly ever make it to the theater. I really enjoyed the show, too. For President's Day, Justin took Nolan to see The Princess and the Frog at the dollar movie. It was his first time. It went well except about 3/4 through he turned to Justin and said, "We can go now. We can." They made it through and I enjoyed shopping at Target with Ezra.
Speaking of Ez, he is 8 months old tomorrow. He's been pretty difficult and downright cranky. When he's not fussying, he is pretty serious, reserving his smiles mostly for Nolan. When he does smile though, it lights up the whole room! He is just starting to scoot, but it is slow going. I've been glad that he was a late bloomer compared to Nolan, but I think he'll be happier when he can get around better. He gets pretty bored just laying and rolling to and fro. I managed to get a few grins... he really is a little charmer!
Today we spent some time at the Children's Museum at The Gateway. It's always nice when friends invite us using their season pass. Thank you! Nolan loves the whole place, and Ezra's happiest moment was when Nolan sat down on him. He sure loves his big brother! It was fun to have lunch afterward. We all had corndogs or pizza... I guess we're all kids, really!
Winter is starting to feel long. We haven't had snow since December so we don't even have that to play in! Bummer. But the sun has been out, so that's nice. And the Vancouver Winter Olympics have been fun to watch. Every time I get feeling cooped up or bored with the daily grind, I think about the people and children who survived the earthquake in Haiti. I wish there was more I could do to help. We have so much to be grateful for!

Valves?! That's too funny. We're planning on letting Ethan's first movie be Toy Story 3 in June. He hasn't had the patience to watch any TV or movies for a few months. I hope he'll be as good as Nolan was.
I can't believe Ezra is 8 months old!
We haven't had good luck with movies either... The girls made it through Alvin and the Chipmunks (mostly)...
By the way, the answer to the question worked! Thank you so much!
Beautiful roses...good job Justin! ;) I love Nolan's list of things he loves. To know what goes on inside a child's mind! Ezra is a little charmer...time goes by way too fast. It was so fun to run into you guys at the museum today! Nolan's "nice" at lunch just made me laugh...I love his little personality. Yea for the Olympics!
Nolan's list kills me. He is a ham! I am glad you guys were able to go to the museum with us yesterday. We enjoyed having you there with us. Thanks for being our great friends!
I love Nolan's list! Valves caught my attention, too, that's hilarious! I'm glad we can keep in touch this way!
Kids are so dang funny! So what kind of valves does Nolan love...hehe...that was just too great!
Cutest kids ever!!!! Miss you guys so much!
That is so cute what Nolan said about what he loves. I love that he said valves...what little kid knows what that is! What a little smarty! and Ezra is adorable! I love that pic of Nolan on Ezra. It must be fun to have two little boys that can be buddies!
