Sesame Street Live!

Last weekend we took the boys to see Sesame Street Live at the renovated Peabody Opera House in St. Louis.  It was Mack's first show, and he was pretty good for the duration.  About 15 minutes in, he looked at Ethan and said, "I'm done watching Elmo Daddy."  While it was kind of funny, we were able to keep him engaged for the duration of the show.  In hindsight, maybe when he is 3 1/2 he will enjoy it more.  Mitchell on the other hand, was a perfect baby, and amazed by all of the colors.  It is hard to find things to do in this wintry weather, so any chance we have to take the boys somewhere kid friendly indoors, we do.  Here are some of the latest pictures I love.

This Christmas we had a wonderful time with not only our Mack to enjoy, but also our little Mitchell!  I can't believe he's almost 3 1/2 months.  This week I went back to work, and to my pleasant surprise, everyone adjusted very well.  Mack started preschool just after the new year, and Mitchell joined him at the same facility this week.  While it's hard to be away from them, my students and staff members were very welcoming to me on my return, so that made it a lot easier!  I wanted to get pictures up from Christmas, but there were so many to get through I didn't have a chance.  This weekend, Ethan and I took the boys to the model train convention downtown.  Mack was enthralled, and with Thomas paraphernalia everywhere, he was in heaven.  You can see Mitch is growing like a weed, he's already into 6 month clothes!  Enjoy!
