Marsh Madness

Last night I was up at 3am with Cole (he's getting his 4th tooth) and I noticed that the sprinklers outside our apartment were on - not unusual. When 10am rolled around and they were still on I was expecting Noah to show up with a boat and save me from a flooding and wicked world. I set off and finally was able to hunt down the maintenance guy and let him know. He came and turned them off, but it left our very own personal SPLASH PARK!!!! The grass was about 2 inches deep in water and there was an inch of standing water on the cement, so Cole and I had a blast stomping around and splashing each other. Cole even got to hold is very first earthworm - I saved it from drowning and set it free in one piece. I promise. Man - I am going to miss these summer days and lots of water to play in!

No, David!

Coulson has become an incredible bookworm and many times it is the first thing he asks for in the morning from Daddy - a story. He will even go so far as to stand in front of the door holding his book, and refusing to let Bret leave until he reads him a book. It really is quite cute to witness this battle every morning. Well, after a suggestion from my dear friend Val, we borrowed "No, David" by David Shannon from the library and Cole has fallen in love with it. We read this book probably a good 20-30 times a day - no joke. I even tried hiding it under a blanket and he looked through the entire room until he found it. So if you are in the market for a good book - our family sure loves this one.

Welcome!

So after several complaints from people that they couldn't download videos and that many also could not leave comments I have decided to move our blog here. I'll leave the old one still at dutchwitch.livejournal.com so you can go back if you desire but everything new will be posted here from now on. Please be patient as I experiment and change things up trying to decided what I like best - there are so many options! Hope you enjoy reading about our crazy fun life and don't forget to leave comments cause we love to hear from you!
