Anybody seen our camera?

Apologies for the lack of updates and pictures.

Our camera has been misplaced. More accuratly, some little boy(s) put it in a very safe hiding place.

So while our search continues, here is a little run-down as to what has been going on:

Brenden and Camden are both getting tall. Both boys are extremely smart and opportunistic. Brenden never misses a chance to help out and Camden never misses a chance to get his bigger brother in trouble.

Brenden is doing very well in school. He comes home and does "homework": a work book that teaches him how to write his alphabet letters and numbers. He is even working on making 3 letter words. It's amazing the stuff he says and knows about.

Camden is starting to form words. The early favorite word is "mine". If you are not really paying attention, it will sound a lot like "milk" and "mom" but all three are distinguishable if you listen closley. He also likes "gungle" (uncle), as well as "Bella". Each time we pull into the garage and get out of the car, he will immediately start calling for "Bella".

And speaking of "gungle", Matt survived watching the boys while we took a quick 3 day trip to fabulous Las Vegas. We jumped on a great package deal that included casino credit. We caught two shows while living it up, as we went to Blue Man Group and Phantom of the Opera. Both shows were great: Blue Man Group was very colorful and entertaining, including mass audience participation. Phantom was fun as well. We bought the "cheap seats" and were upgraded for free because it didn't sell out. We were placed dead center, 13 rows back; right underneath the chandelier! Finish it off with lunch at Margaritaville before going back to the airport, and it was a very nice trip!

Also, we have been both getting our use out of our iPod Touches. I gave Marta one for Valentines day, which renewed my interest in all the applications available through the iTunes store. Some nights, Marta can easily spend a couple of hours just looking through all the apps. If you do not have an iPod Touch (or iPhone) we very highly recommend one! There are apps for everything and anything you can think of.

Maybe one our future postings will be a list of the applications we have, as well as our ratings for each.

Anyways, once we uncover the camera, we will get some pictures up from GG Nora's birthday, as well as other pictures that we took.
