we're ba-ack

with yet another home improvement project on kyle's to-do list, the boys and I headed back to hang out with nana and papa.  I'm sure they were *thrilled* to see us haul back a bunch of gear and take up residence in their living room again!  this time our stay was intended to be short - not go on and on indefinitely like the last time.  we were able to take advantage of the continued beautiful weather streak and spend a good deal of time out on their deck.

daddy stopped over in the evenings and read a book or two (or three or four...) to miles.

henry showed off his athletic side...

...and his sweet big brother side. [check out that lip. it happens all.the.time.]

on a side note:
reece is starting to "talk" to us and is even thinking about giving us a smile here or there.  we are still not sure about what is preventing him from gaining weight, but I'm doing my research, pushing for more tests, and doing my best to advocate for our precious peanut. 
lots to tell papa
