learning new tricks

so my boys are learning lots of new tricks! baby van is learning to coo and cope is learning to share..

we took both the boys fishing a few weekends ago.. or should i say, we took them to the river to "purchase and release" some minnows...










baby van has learned to make a sad face (isn't it heart breaking!!)
and daddy is trying to teach some of his soul-inspired moves (the moonwalk!) to his eldest.. God help the ladies!!

sicky poo birthday

it was a rough few weeks at the madray house. it started with the kids' well child check, at which time they weren't really well. cope had a cough and congestion and baby van had a cute little tiny cough but felt pretty good. the week rolled on with cope out of work and daddy staying at home with him.



like any good parents, we kept them both home, and poor daddy missed a week of work!
cope of course found ways to keep himself busy!!
so at the end of the week, van's cough got worse and he ran a fever so we went to the ER and ended up in the hospital on cope's bday. we cancelled his scheduled party and thankfully grandmama, nancy and ree were here to entertain him and keep order around the house while we hung out at dell children's hospital. baby van was a trooper, and we were home in a few days.


we had a belated birthday party with the family and all is well that end's well!






























yippee for the best little 3 year old i know! poor guy got sick again with strep throat and an ear infection the following week, but is now 100% healthy. good thing he had all those new toys to entertain himself with ;)
