As the winter drags on, we have settled into a lock-down routine. During the week the boys play together, listen to audio books, work/play on the computer, watch a little TV and take care of routine things like treatments and baths. On weekends we try to add a few special events. Last weekend the cousins came over for a sleep-over. The boys LOVE their cousins. Drew and Tommy have been together since they were infants when they shared a nanny. As usual we took pictures and video. The next day Drew asked me to make a “music video,” otherwise known as an Animoto video. He loves these videos; we often snuggle together in bed and watch the older ones over and over. Drew chose the name–Cousins Forever–and also chose the music. Enjoy:
When Saturday rolled around again, Drew would have loved a repeat of the sleep over. However, he had to settle for a morning visit from Auntie Kirstin and Tommy. The rest of the day was filled with family fun. Dad was busy installing a new hot water heater–YEA! So, the boys played together most of the day. A favorite pastime is “swinging” in the sling that we use for Drew’s lift system. My personal favorite clip in the following video is when Drew uses the vibrations of his vest to play the harmonica.
Only a few more weeks–or is it months–until summer!

I love the videos! Ry pushing Drew in the lift is priceless. That looks like a lot of fun! We have Drewbie’s picture hanging up on our fridge and the boys have taken a real liking to him, they love to watch his videos.. taysen loves to see another little boy in a scooter. Every day, Taysen asks to play with “the toys that Drewbie got me!”
