Conversations between Max and Brady

Amidst all the craziness of packing and moving, my children continue to keep me laughing and on my toes. I'll blog more later about the move, complete with pics of the new house, but I want to remember some of the funny things they're doing and saying. If I don't get it down now, I never will.

Max and Brady are becoming buddies more and more. They play together some, and have begun having the same conversation over and over. It goes something like this:

Max: Nononononononononono
Brady: Yes, Max, yes.
Max: Nononononononononono
Brady: Yes, Max, yes.

Repeat, repeat, repeat. It really is pretty funny in person.

Max makes a mean muscle, now. If you ask to see his muscle, he goes red in the face and his whole body stiffens. I have yet to get him to do it for the video camera!

After the kids had been at Gran and Grandad's for the weekend, Max greeted me with a huge grin and lots of giggling. I loved that he was so giddy.

Brady asks every day when we're going to "antonio wif daddy". Sweet boy. Every time I say it's time to go home, he asks if we're going to the "old house" or the "new house". His little two year old mind must be so confused!

Blake has spent a lot of the summer working on baseball skills. He's really become a very good pitcher. He also catches and hits well. He's so proud of himself, and I can't wait to see him play on a team. I've enjoyed watching him begin to really delight in his younger brothers. They are a constant source of entertainment for him, and I get regular play-by-plays of silly little things that Blake finds hilarious.

Sydney has always been a nurturer, but this summer she's been a trooper. She's helped out with the little guys with very little complaint. Without her help and companionship, this summer might well have been miserable. I'm so proud of the little lady she's becoming.

I'm sure I'm forgetting a bunch of things...oh, well. More later...
