Freddy T. and Jack

Freddy T. and Jack are at the airport Tennessee bound.
Jack is so excited!
(I wish I would have taken their picture)
Lillie didn't understand that she was not going.

Crayola's bath tub crayons are a hit at our house! Jack spent a lot of time yesterday coloring in the bathroom. He did the scribbles on the bottom left and called me into see his work. While I was in there I drew the tractor. Maybe I should give him the credit... it looks more like a child drew it than an adult... anyway...
I then decided it would be a good idea to draw the scenario he was going to experience today. He's never been on a trip with just Freddy T. It's always been all of us. So, I drew an airplane and put Jack and Freddy T. in the window (you can't really see it, but they are the blue in two of the orange circles). Then you can see me, Lillie, and Elliott standing on the ground to the left waiving to them. That scribble in between the airplane and the family is Jack's addition. I can't remember what he was drawing but when he finished it he looked at me and said "Look! I drew a heart!." I thought it was funny, but it does look sort of like a heart. He also (even though you can't see it very well) added a purple mark in the front window. He told me it was the co-pilot... how does he know who the co-pilot is let alone where he sits on the plane???

He told me yesterday that he was getting in an airplane with Daddy and they were going to fly through smoke. (I think he thinks its smoke when your flying through the clouds) He said God was going to move the smoke out of the say so they could fly through.

We're going to miss them! Jack provides us with a lot of entertainment each day. Lillie and Elliott will be lost without him around. I'm really glad Jack and Freddy T. get some time alone though. It will be special for both of them.

Another Day At The Wyatt Home

It's been a crazy morning. Not bad, the kids are just a little on the wild side.... all 3 of them!

I've found Lillie several times in the cabinets. Elliott wanted to join her this time.
Jack just said "Mommy look... I like the babies." I wanted to document it because that was not the song he was singing about 15 minutes ago.

Our Weekend

Saturday we celebrated Lillie and Elliott's 1st Birthday with their friends here in NYC.
This time they each got a cupcake...
As you can tell history repeated itself... Elliott barely touched his. Lillie ate the whole thing!


Elliott had a good time opening gifts.
Lillie and Elliott received a few bath toys for their birthday.
Jack enjoyed the bubble machine last night in the tub.
Jack's buddy Brayden gave him a gift at the party too.
Bath tub crayons!
Lillie and Elliott wanted in so bad.
Later in the evening Jack "made" cupcakes and added his own candles and blew them out.
I can't remember what was going on in this picture, but thought it was cute.
This is a little random, but the other day I hung hooks behind the kids bedroom door for their coats and back packs. I know it's nothing fancy, but I was excited about it. I told Freddy T. it was the school teacher coming out in me... only a teacher can love the look of coats and backpacks neatly hanging on the wall.

After the twins birthday party we went to the SALT space for a silent auction to benefit the team from the Gallery going to Vietnam in December on a mission trip. It was a great night. Lot's of fun. And always great being with Gallery family.

Jack The Rockstar!

This is a few months old too. Jack has an Oreo crusted mouth and I'm not sure what he is doing at the end. He is so funny!

Dinner Time

This was from back in September. Elliott still lays over sideways toward the end of his meal. This is the day it started. I also think its funny that they know the camera is filming them. They kept staring at it.

Bits and Pieces

We just got back from the park. (The dinosaur didn't come today.) When we got back up to the apartment I began unloading everyone. Jack was half way out of his seat when I came over to help him. He yelled "No! Jesus is helping me!"

So now were settling into lunch. Jack's done. Lillie and Elliott next. I just told Jack to go in the bathroom and wash his hands. A second ago he said "Mommy look!" He had wet hands and was giving Lillie a mohawk!
I wonder where he gets this from? Hummm.... did I mention before we got in the car to go to the airport a month ago Freddy T. gave Jack and Elliott mohawks? Not just water... gel and wax too. Elliott had a mohawk for 2 days till he got a bath!
