And the two years begin!

Wednesday we took Ben, my brother (have to clarify) to the MTC. He is going to Portland, Oregon on his mission. It was such a great experience! We were able to have a family dinner the night before when he got set apart and then we all went down to the MTC the next day. We went over to my Grandma Meyers' house for a yummy breakfast before. It was so good to see how excited Ben was to go. I think it made it a little easier to watch him walk through the door at the MTC and know we won't see him again for 2 years. Max has been really cute. You ask him where Ben is and he says "on a mission" in a very proud voice.

Max is still crazy as ever. Today we were playing hide and seek and for the first time he wanted to hide so Isaac and I were in the kitchen counting and he ran off to hide. I counted to 10 and when I turned around he was covering his eyes in the middle of the family room. I tried not to laugh. I said "I wonder where Max went?" He then uncovered his eyes and shouted, "Found ME!" and came running towards me. I think it is so funny that kids think if they can't see you, you can't see them.

Isaac is getting a little better with the crying. He had his first taste of baby food, sweet potatoes, and really liked it. He was inhaling the spoon. I have found that if I try to make sure that he gets at least one good hour nap he seems to be happier. I think his problem is he is just tired. Max is really cute with him though. Yesterday I was getting Max's shoes and Max was sitting on my bed and Isaac was next to him crying. When I came into the room Max was giving Isaac a kiss on the forehead and saying "It's okay". What a sweetie! Isaac just lights up when Max is around. I am convinced that they were best friends in heaven and that is why they are brothers now. They both are just so cute with each other.
