I discovered that there is a small splash park at the Riverwoods shopping center. Joseph would watch the timing and play with the middle fountains.

Joseph stacked these letters and they did not topple over. I was impressed. You can also see Samuel's tower in the back.

We have discovered that Samuel is quite the little architect. He built this on his own and does this often.

I came home from work one day and this is how I found Samuel. Grandma Rankin had tried to get him to nap, but after a couple of hours she gave up. Once he wasn't being forced to, he put himself down for a nap.

Samuel's super tall tower. He likes to build them as tall as he can, and sometimes has patience when it crashes. It fell after he placed the block after this.

Joe took the boys to a small museum in the middle of no where and this is Joseph posing as a frontiersman.

Daddy, Joseph and Samuel looking at fossils.

Just so you know, with work, it is hard for me to get on here as often as I used to and write. To catch up: Joe and the boys got back. Grandma came and stayed with us for a few weeks and Joe went back to New Jersey to finish a project he started. He came back this past Thursday, and his mom left the same day to go and be with Alison and Ryan. Amy got married. Here are some pictures from all those times in no particular order (Joseph is helping me choose them).
