Manning Madness

 It has been way too long since I wrote but we are alive and well! The big thing at our house is getting to know little Gus. He is one sweet, happy guy. He is smiling a lot and loves to grunt and talk as much as possible. He loves to suck his thumb and his brothers just adore him. My respect for Elise has always been way high but it grows each day! Our house is a mad house! I cannot believe the volume level and energy level around here.

So the boys move from one passion to the next. A few months ago the passion for alligators and crocodiles started and we had a mud puddle or two for catching alligators. Every string like substance became an alligator catcher including the strings from the rug! Well, that has died down slightly and we have moved into science experiments. Specifically explosions. We watched some Mark Rober videos to get away from the alligator videos and they particularly love the elephant toothpaste and Devil's toothpaste. So our mud puddle expanded to the whole yard because they are throwing water into our kitchen containers and seeing the explosion! They honestly did that for 6 hours a few days ago. But it is an obsession and we have run out of vinegar and soda a few times. 

Nick started teaching school this week and it has been very busy. It is always a little bit of a shock going  back but it is ok. I decided to start a little more organization with school like activities.  It has been pretty good but we have a lot of learning to do; mostly in the realm of human decency. Cute little people.

Well, we sure love you all and can't wait to see you soon!
