About A Boy

Briggs is 3 1/2 and loves being a boy.
While he can spend time with his big sister, Everleigh,
and knows all the Disney Princesses by name,
his favorite thing right now is Superheroes.

 Briggs spent some time on a recent unusually
warm spring day "painting" their deck.

 Then he took time for blowing bubbles.

 He wears his Irish with pride....and liked the cupcakes (and the frosting)

But his favorite time is spent with his big sister.
As you can see, he's a happy little boy.  He's
sweet, helpful and loving.  He likes to paint
and use play dough.  He's always glad
to greet me at the door.  His favorite food
is pasta.

Andrew


Who is Andrew?
Well, he's a boy who doesn't like his picture taken.
He loves his mommy.
Most days he's more than ready to go to school.
He likes to win.
One minute, he's in time out and the
next he's curling up on my lap for reassurance.
He doesn't much care for glitter and glue
but he loves to build things.
He's forever "hooking" things up and making ramps.
He likes stories about Batman and Star Wars.
He lights up when he sees his daddy. (who calls him "Andy-boy")
He's tough on his little brother, Ethan, but will defend
him to the death if anyone else intrudes.
He likes bugs...and rocks...and things that crawl
but he can wear a princess crown when necessary.
He loves playing with his cousins.
He has expressed interest in hunting with Gpa Greg
and wants to learn to fish.
In short...he's a 4 1/2 year old boy
and we love him.

me..."yes, Ethan, but I'm trying to drive."

being built.
