It all started with Will trying to do push-ups, which looked more like yoga. Justin proceeded to demonstrate proper push-up form, and then it was gymnastic time in the Sorenson living room. :-)

Getting into proper formation.

Show me how to do a somersault, Daddy!

The blur in the photo is Justin doing a somersault.

Patrick's somersault!

Somersaults are fun!

I love when they're happy together...there's been a lot of fighting lately.

A puddle of boy-ness!

Time to get him a modeling contract. He's so darn cute (but I'm his mommy, I realize that!). 

Moving on to handstands...

Belly!

Umm...yikes!

Both boys walked on their hands with Daddy's help...and Daddy did some bicep curls. :-)

Christmas in GR, Part II

Three generations--Mary, you should have been IN
this photo and it'd be FOUR generations!

 As promised, here are more photos from our GR Christmas. We squeezed a lot in to just a few days! We were able to celebrate Christmas with Grammy, Poppi, Sarah, Rachel, (and Elliott, Hayden, and Kim--via Skype). We also got to see Barb and Joy and some extended family too--thanks, Barb, for a delicious dinner! It was a great visit, but the pictures say it best...

Hi, Aunt Sarah!

Juice boxes are a treat at Grammy's house!

Those remote control cars were a HIT!

Crazy boy!

All this fun is TIRING!

All we're missing is Kim!

The gang...minus Kim and Hayden. :-(

Love the tongue hanging out!

Go Blue!

Mama and the boys.

Love my sis-in-law!

Gift giving 

Can you tell I like the vase?!

Fun chaos--handing out presents with Will convinced
that everything is for him!

No, this one is NOT yours, Patrick!

Angelic Will. 

Mr. Mischief! 

Poppi smiles big around his boys. :-)

Christmas cozies.

It almost fits!

Waking up with some coffee after a white-knuckle
drive from TC to GR! And no, the vacuum is NOT on!

So silly.

We miss you, Elliott!

More from the GR Children's Museum-December 2011

I love this place! The mirrored triangular tunnel is always such a cool photographic surprise. It is neat to crawl through it but the photographs make it look even better! I also love the giant bubble making area. So much fun! Burlington needs a place like this. 

A Michigan Christmas (Grand Rapids)

Anybody who knows us and follows this blog knows that Mary is the best picture-taker ever! She captures every moment so well! Unfortunately, this means that I get out of photo-taking mode in her presence and always forget to copy the photos from her that I want until MUCH later. I am going to experiment with downloading her photos from Facebook to post here sometime in the near future. I did take some photos during our lovely visit to GR, so without further adieu, here they are!

Grammy sure does indulge Mr. Will. He loves things that light up and have motors. These deer have both. Will was in heaven!

Poppi chillin' by the fire.

Cuddling after his car nap...still asleep. So sweet!

Aww...:-)

The remote control cars for the boys were a BIG hit!

New toys! New toys!

We relaxed on the super plush couch a lot for the few days we were in GR. Yes!

Will and Patrick slept better than ever on the Aerobed together. :-)

We went to the Grand Rapids Children's Museum...I think this is an annual thing now! :-) We loved the bubbles!

LEGO man.

Whoa! That's a trippy mirror!

I love the giant LiteBrite!

Grammy playing with the boys.

Ugh. Goodbyes stink. :-(
