Apparently I had one of these (supposedly) regular installment posts ready for last Friday but for some reason I never posted it.
Whoops.
A double-dose this week, so let’s get started.
Tevye got a hold of the baseball equipment one day.
I took August and Déla to see The Jungle Book. There were three different displays for upcoming movies in the theater you could get your picture taken with.
So naturally the kids posed with each one.
This one is my favorite.
Ciaran has been improving his skills at baseball – it’s a “rookie” level machine pitch, mostly to introduce the concepts of the game, but he’s having fun.
Tevye turned 2, which should be its own blog post, but sadly I don’t have much to say about the event, and only a couple of good pictures since he wouldn’t stop moving. Here he is opening one of his presents.
This, however, I am particularly happy with. One of my all-time favorite “birthday” shots.
Remember when Marianne came out for Ciaran’s first communion? She brought with her a Harvard sweatshirt which he loves.
During one of the Boy Scout meetings there was a discussion about fire safety and what to do in the event of a kitchen fire. The boys also got to practice using a fire extinguisher.
Tevye got his first real haircut. This is another thing that should be its own blog post, but life has just been so crazy lately. Here is one shot of him before.
And the only good shot of him from the side before the haircut.
Here he is afterwards. He looks a lot more like Ciaran than we realized.
One day while taking Xavier to pre-school we ran into August.
At this month’s Cub Scout pack meeting Ciaran was awarded several achievement awards, belt loops that mark his progress toward a much larger goal.
That goal being the Wolf Badge. He earned and was awarded this rank but doesn’t get much time to rest, The crossing over ceremony is going to happen soon and we’ll begin working on the Bear rank.
And yes, that’s me standing up there with him. A major enough event that it involves the parent getting up there with their son.
Notice a couple kids conspicuously absent? Don’t worry. There’s plenty going on and they will have their turn in the spotlight.
