May the FORCE be with you

Noah started soccer this month - his team is called The Force - and it's adorable and hilarious. He (and his 4 year old teammates) have noooo idea what they're doing.  He LOVES his cleats, shin guards and jersey... More to come in September!

Max's new favorite snack is ranch. Just with a spoon. Yum!

Last day of camp

Noah finished up summer camp this week - school starts in mid-August in NM, so summer is officially winding down.  (although not for us, as we are about to embark on 2 full weeks of Seattle summer fun!)

Noah's camp teachers LOVED him. They said he was always willing to try new things, always positive, really engaging with his friends (old and new), and always set a good example for the other kids -- we're very proud of him!

Ice cream at the end-of-camp party! He picked out his own outfit...including the tie :)

Max 18 months

Little Maxy Feins is already 18 months old!!  He had his check-up today, and all is well... plus no more vaccinations until he's 4!

They don't give you percentages anymore, but Max is officially 24 lbs, 7 oz and 33 1/2 inches tall.  He's a good sized boy (although surprisingly much smaller than Noah was at his age).

I took Maxy swimming after his appointment since he was such a good boy - he LOVES the water!!

Swimming!

Road trip to Ruidoso

I took the boys to Ruidoso last weekend, to visit Grandma Texas and Poppy.  Despite a very challenging first night (cranky boys, no naps, no sleep), it ended up being a super fun visit and the boys had a great time! 

Some photos of their adventures...
