Eating And Playing

I've been thinking about this lately: all Owen and Kyle do these days are two things -- eating and playing. At night they sleep. A solid 11.5-12 hours in a row. But during their waking hours they literally just eat and play. All day, every day. They play, play, play, play, play. Mostly outside. For long stretches of time they'll play without any interruption. They stop only to eat. Braydon and I have a motto (that I know a lot of people share with us): Work Hard, Play Hard. K and O have a motto too: Sleep Hard, Play Hard (and Eat Up A Storm). Here are some scenes from our weekend (our first really cold weekend this fall).

Saturday Braydon took the boys to Philadelphia for a Retirement Party for Braydon's father, who flew in from Atlanta. I couldn't be there because I had to work. But all reports are that it was a great day that centered upon a leisurely lovely lunch. Even though Owen and Kyle don't see him very often, they love their Grandpa Robert. And they finally got to meet their Great Uncle David and Great Aunt Sandy, who drove down from NYC for the party. A highlight, of course, was Auntie Sabrina-- the boys, Owen especially, adore her.
