Cousins Unite!

We got a special visit in early July with the boys Aunt, Uncle and cousins passing through Seattle on their way to Alaska.  It was Max and Noah's first time meeting Uncle Jason and cousins Jack and Maggie and we had a great time catching up, hearing about plans for the big Alaska adventure and getting excited for the Frasers to move back to the PNW. 

Here's some shots of the kiddos together.  Be warned, Jack and Maggie are total hams (and quite adorable).

 

PEACE Jack.  He's really taking in the Japanese culture.

 

 

More interested in the inflatable arms.

 

 

Cole!  Let me get that outta your nose.

 

 

Jack and Maggie being great older cousins... Cole bewildered.

 

 

Max looks pretty big sitting in Maggie's lap!

 

 

Something's funny.

 

 

Love?

 

 

Off to the Mariner's - Red Sox game.  For the record M's won. 

Happy (belated) 3 month birthday boys!

We have an excuse for not blogging... although not a good one.  Our home computer where all of our pictures are stored has been giving us trouble since early June.  After sending it in for repair days of time with tech support and weeks of computers in transit, we finally got a new one.  Thanks Lenovo for your worst in class customer service.

And with that said... Happy 3 months Noah and Max!  3 months feels like 3 years... but it also feels like 3 days as we're still just getting to know these fun little men.  And of course we love them to death and get to see fun new things everyday.  Here are some shots from their 3 month photo shoot.

  

Hi Noah!

 

 

Max is more entertained by the wall

 

 

No, Max is not that much taller than Noah, although he does weigh about a pound more than him.  Time for a diet!

Smiles

We've been getting lots of smiles around here lately! Just haven't captured too many on our camera yet....  here's Kate and Max sharing a laugh :)

More fun in the sun

Nana, Drew, Cole, Noah, Max and I made our way to Bite of Seattle today. Probably won't make this an annual tradition until the kids are a bit older and can manage on their own! Cole sure did love the fountain though :)

Enjoying the sun

We've got a lot to catch everyone up on but in the meantime I thought I would post a couple of pics of Cole enjoying the water fountain at mom's apartment. Kate was a great sport and ended up just as wet as Cole :)

Happenings at the Hadley House

We've been a little light on the blogging due to obvious circumstances of the children outnumbering the adults here.  So here's a few pictures from the past weeks.

We went to Suncadia over Memorial Day weekend and actually survived.  Here's Griffin and Cole doing some morning coloring.  Griffin is turning out to be a great older influence on Cole.

Mom and her two bald boys!

We only had a stroller for two so Cole decided to try out the Baby Bjorn.  Needless to say he's a bit oversized so Max took the Bjorn and Cole hit the stroller.

Back at home Cole has been finding all sorts of new stuff to get into.  Like this hat, er salad spinner strainer basket.

Noah enjoying his bouncy seat

And Cole finding mama's wallet and going straight for the AmEx.  At least he's considering the cash back implications.

Happy 2 month birthday!

Noah and Max recently celebrated the 2 month mark with a big day of eating and sleeping!  They really know how to live it up.

They're still doing great with lots of weight getting packed on and being generally easy to handle.  Sleeping quite a bit and just demanding one feeding in the middle of the night.  This, of course, is all subject to change at a moment's notice, but for now, we're just enjoying the ride.

Here's a few photos from the big day!

Max was a bit sleepy for the photo shoot

Noah, on the other hand, was wide awake.

Maybe not.  Happy 2 months boys!
