The March-April 2007 album has been started as the pictures just keep on rollin’.  There are pictures from my birthday, pictures of new foods for the boys, and pictures of kids hard at play.  Still on the camera but due up on the site soon are ones for the boys playing with Cole’s keyboard and having a favorite book – Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See? -  read to them.  One of their favorite things to do now is have stories read to them.  They’ll hand you a book and climb right into your lap.  How cool is that?

We had a low-key celebration for Cole’s birthday, but I think he had a lot of fun.  The weekend took on a “game” theme.  He was able to join Joe at the monthly poker game, which absolutely thrilled him.  He did quite well – he’s turning in to quite the poker player, especially now that he gets the poker face concept. The next day, we met Grandma Pat and Grandpa Bob for lunch at a Chinese buffet that Cole really likes.  Zach and Alex got to try all sorts of new foods – the wontons were big hits with them.  Then we all went back to the house for presents (lots more games) and cake.   Check out the pics in the Cole’s 12th Birthday album.

I’ve also added a bunch more photos to the “misc” Jan-Feb 2007 album (previously known as the Jan-Mar album until we filled up 20 pages in two months!).  I haven’t had a chance to put captions on the newest ones yet (maybe this weekend), so if you check the album out in the next couple days, be sure to check back so you don’t miss my witty commentary.

Cole is turning the ripe-old age of 12 today, one more year closer to being an actual teenager.  All we can say to that is, wow, time goes by fast!
