Around here, life has been wild! Both Hudson and Will are cutting three teeth (so, for you mathematicians, that's a total of six toothies!) and we have been in RARE form. Not much sleeping happening around this house . . . so, when they nap, I nap! (hence the lack of posts from the past week or two) Here are a few pictures to catch you up on our latest happenings . . . Most of these are from two weeks ago and last weekend . . . the only picture from our week of screaming/teething is at the bottom. Enjoy!
Daddy with Hud and Will
Mornin' to ya!
Murphy's second home . . . I love Will's face in this one!
A visit with our twin friends, Neveah and Max (11 mos)! (H, N, W, and M)
Dog=Man's Best Friend
Strike a Pose
Hmmm . . . exploration!
This is what happens when you leave William in the room by himself:
Last weekend, we went to Annapolis to visit Nonna and Grandpa! Sugie, Bumpa, and Uncle Judah came, and we met up with Aunt Katie and Uncle Brett for a few hours before they headed back to California. We had a great time!
Look what I have!
Full, and happy!
Hudson's new favorite face to make!
Uncle Judah, the entertainer, at lunch with us!
Walking around the Annapolis Harbor with Nonna and Grandpa
And, a little afternoon snooze!
Dinner with GiGi (Hatch's Grandma!)
Brunch overlooking the water! (At the back table: Great Aunt Sue, Bumpa, Nonna, Grandpa; Front Table: Uncle Brett, Aunt Katie, Uncle Judah, Sugie, Mama with William (who is hidden!), Daddy with Huds (who is not looking!))
Hudson with Unkie Bretty!
William, with his Nonna!
With the Murphy Fam (Uncle Judah, Bumpa with Hud, Hatch with Will, Shannon, Uncle Brett, Aunt Katie with baby Charlie, and Sugie . . . we missed you Uncle Christopher!)
The Reppard Fam . . . (Shannon with Hud, Hatch with Will, Nonna and Grandpa . . . we missed you Aunt Courtney!)
William loves to stare at Aunt Katie . . . we're not sure if he just loves her SOO much, or if he is trying to figure out if she is his auntie or his mama . . . This is how they rode together while we drove Katie and Brett to the airport!
This may be the only picture I have from this week . . . the week of 6 teeth and 0 sleeping . . . One of my friends from high school, Mary, came for a visit from KY with her sweet girls Katie (3) and Caroline (5 mos) . . . we had so much fun with them!
This was supossed to be a post of the belated 8 month pictures of the boys, but something is weird with our internet, so you are left with this . . . a sneak preview of sorts! Happy Friday folks! :)
It feels much like we headed to the beach last week with our two babies, and we came home with little boys! Hudson and William have aquired new skills and are changing every day! Hudson is so close to crawling! He pushes up on all fours and can move forward sometimes . . . and slowly . . . but, he is really scooting around backwards with increasing speeds. (any tips for babyproofing my dog-hair-filled home are much appreciated!) His new favorite song is "If you're happy and you know it," and he loves to try to clap along--it is too cute! Hud continues making funny faces and laughs along with his audience! While at the beach, one of William's top teeth began to pop through (Hudson got his lower teeth first, but now Will is getting his upper one first!) William also decided that he no longer prefers to sit down . . . he wants to stand (or have you hold him, standing) at all times. He is babbling like crazy and blowing rassberries and spitting all over the place (he spit all over his doctor this week!) These boys are so much fun!
Hudson on the go--he backed himself under the armoire while I was in the kitchen making bottles . . . and he wasn't too happy about it!
Fun with food:
This is an example of Will's raspberry-ing gone wrong:
Caught!!
Can you make this face?
Hudson and William have both started to notice and enjoy Murphy the dog. Hudson squeals whenever Murphy comes into the room. Murphy, being the intelligent food-finder that he is, has made himself a new home: 
Uncle Judah is very helpful with his nephews--thank you for all of your help, Uncle JJ!
Our good friend Grayson came over on Friday so that we could play with him while his mom worked. Gray is Hudson and Will's best friend, in case you were wondering. We had a great time--the boys just loved "playing" together. William thought Grayson was especially fun . . . for some reason, William would just look at Gray and bust out laughing. He did it over and over again! It was so cute! Hudson, Grayson (5 mos), and William
This picture makes me laugh, because Hudson is so proud that he has two toys in his hand, and Grayson is like "um, woah, what just happened? do you think you could share?"
One of Hatch's roomies from UVA, Seth, and his lady friend, Tracy, came for a visit from Colorado (via Charlottesville) last night. It was so fun to see them and hear all about their time in Africa and their plans to be in Boston in a few weeks!
