The "Choo Choo" Park

We have taken a few trips to the Railroad Park in the last few weeks or as Wesley calls it the "choo choo" park. I don't know why we haven't gone more prior to the last few weeks considering Wesley's love for choo choo trains but at least we have made up for it lately. The first set of pictures are from this morning. Michael had a day off work so we went together as a family.

This next set of pictures is from a play date we had last week. I wish I had taken even more pictures but managing two little mobile ones inhibited my ability to take good photos. I love this first one below. It is off Kaleb and Oliver. They are buddies and had a blast together. There are definitely no shortage of kids in our circle of friends which makes these days at the park all the better!

This and That

Just a few random pics. Oliver got a new shirt the other day which he loves so we took a picture to show it off.

Michael got new glasses which Oliver had to try on:)

I woke Wesley up from his afternoon nap the other day, which I never do, but he didn't fall asleep until late and I didn't want him up until 10pm. When I went in to get him up this is how I found him. And I have noticed he falls asleep a lot with his hands behind his head. So STINKIN' cute.

Oliver the Teacher

Just call him Mr. Oliver because lately he has been trying to help us teach Wesley new words. He will say, "Wesley say green." and then if his brother says anything like the word he asking him to repeat he cheers, much like we do when he says something new. It is REALLY cute. The other night they were both sitting on this chair and Oliver was doing his letter flash cards with Welsey. I had to take a bunch of pictures.

Basketball

I haven't had a chance yet to post these pics and basketball ended about a month ago now so I am a little late, but better late than never. Michael coached freshman boys basketball this year. The same kids he coached a few years ago in seventh grade. They had a very successful season and only lost three games (I am pretty sure this is correct). He could better fill you in on their exact record but I know they lost MUCH less than they won. Papa coached with him once again, the boys on the team called him "Mr. Mr. Fay" which I thought was funny.

I must say that although I am glad Michael got the chance to coach and I know it meant a lot to him and to the guys on the team, we really missed having him at home. I may or may not have thanked God that basketball was almost over during bedtime prayers with Oliver which of course he then mimicked for the next weeks, well maybe month. To this day he says, "thank you God that basketball is over." I don't think I was the only one that missed him:)
