The boys are growing

Bjorn is growing so fast and he's so adorable!  He says many words including: bro (for brother), hair, hat, hi, bye, da (for dad), and some others that I can't recall now...(second child *sigh*).  He's also turned into a serious eater (he'll grab food out of your hand if you aren't careful...and he loves everything)!  He loves to dance to all kinds of music.  Grandma and Bjorn often listen to jazz and boogie while Momma is working. 

His favorite place is the garage.  He has to do everything Odin is allowed to do, so last night he talked us into letting him hammer a bit...

And when we are working in the garden he really wants to help.  He's even started to understand the concept of pulling weeds instead of veggie plants!  But Momma has to show him very clearly what a weed is and what a veggie plant is!  Of course, watering is the most fun of all...watch out!!

Big boy, Bjorn, can now hold on all by himself on the swing.  And he loves it!

 Yes, I'm so cute!

The boys hanging out in the garage...Dad is showing the boys a beaver skull he found on our forest land.

Getting a picture of Odin these days is so hard!  He's always on the move, but Dad managed to snap a picture of Odin and Maya on the swing.  

Odin is in the stage where he is really starting to notice all the beautiful things around him.  He wears this tie-dye shirt every chance he gets (only in competition with the Lightening M'Queen shirt given to him by Demetrius) because he says the colors are so beautiful.  This morning while reading a story he commented on how beautiful one of the pictures was in the book.  When we are driving around he points out the flowers he thinks are beautiful.  Such a delight...
