still here

Yes, Levi is still very much a part of our bustling family, despite the lack of photos. I mean, come on, I’ve just stunk at taking ANY photos lately. So there’s no discrimination towards the youngest going on here. We still do love the little guy. And have been enjoying more and more our little foursome family.

Levi is toddling around, desperately trying to keep up with his older brother. Brighton often eggs him on saying, “Come on, Levi! Chase me!” Racing out of the room waiting for the hesitant, wobbly steps of Levi to follow. We just put the two boys together in one room since we knew we’d be moving to a smaller space that would require they become roomies. So far, they seem to be loving having each other as bedtime pals. Even if it does mean they drift off to sleep a little bit later that usual each night. We overheard Brighton telling Levi to “Be quiet, Levi. It’s nigh-night time!” this evening as Levi’s playful laughter and shrieks carried on for a good bit after we closed the bedroom door.

The boys have been troopers these past few weeks spending countless hours in the car as we roam around neighborhoods looking at homes, peeking in the windows of empty houses and romping through backyards. We hope their new backyard of freedom will make up for these weeks of endless carseat hours.

Here they are hydrating for our supposed afternoon hike…which morph into a house hunting afternoon when the rain began to fall. Poor guys.

All that house hunting resulted in this…our new little pad, as mentioned in my earlier post from today. Our offer was accepted and now we just keep our fingers crossed that the inspection of our current home went over well with our buyers and all the pieces fall into place for our May 2nd move. Hooray!
