our boys

still underwater here at 1001. these two boys and the injured dog are too much for kara to handle each day. yet somehow we are making it through. as we stumble through the second month with harry, here's a look in:
many have asked how jude is handling being a big brother. we are pleased to say he is doing remarkably well. jude gets a high pitched voice when he says 'harry is so tiny. harry is so cute.' he rarely over-shakes, over-hugs, over-runs at the baby as he did in the first few weeks. now i think he just wants harry to be able to do more stuff...like hold the tiger.

hold the tail harry

jude got upset after this photo when harry couldn't hold the tiger's whiskers. he kept insisting that yes, harry could.
speaking of jude, he is fascinated by how things work and creating his own toys now. i decided recently i should ask people to bring him junk from their basement and drawers, instead of toys.

this is him creating a vacuum from george's leash and a dowel rod.

engineer-ing fun

its fun to see harry enjoy jude's old baby stations...that's what i'll call the many places around the downstairs that are harry rest areas. we still bless the krasinskis for crazy mobile. this thing entertained jude for hours. harry is also a huge fan.

kickin it with my mobile

unfortunately this fall is shaping up to be the season of jude's sickness. this may be the year he just gets a lot of new stuff in his exposure at preschool and to older kids. pray for patience for me as i endure days stuck at home with sick one.
our other patient george is stuck in his crate for four more weeks. the vets say the bone is healing more slowly than expected.
