Monkey Boy!

Matthew climbed up one of our trees today for the first time by himself. He didn't get too far, but he sure was proud of himself! Every day he seems to be getting a little bit braver.





Then of course, monkey see, monkey do....Zachary had to give it a try too =)

Goodbye...

Last night was a night of bitter sweet emotions in the Sell household as Allan's grandpa passed away. Allan flew home last Wednesday to Milwaukee to be with his family as grandpa fell ill. Shortly after Allan's arrival grandpa's condition got worse and while he held on a few more days his poor body could go on no longer. Grandpa was a gentle, caring man who always had a smile on his face. Since the first time that I had met him he made me feel like a part of the family. We will miss his specially made morning breakfasts and his cheerful smile, but we know that he was ready for the Lord to take his hand and after 10 years he was ready to see his wife once again. Thank you grandpa for all the love in your heart and for all the wonderful memories. You will be missed.

Super Silly Boys!!

Here are some pictures that I have taken over the past week.


The weather has been gorgous off and on. So on the "on" days the boys love playing outside in the sprinkler.



Matthew came upstairs one day with Zachary's halloween costume on from last year. Matthew is such a character and the things that he comes up with are just hysterical, well they are when it doesn't include a mess for me to clean up ;)
