My little Lampchop (he hates it when I call him that)
New Baby
Makes my back hurt. Kicks my ribs. Puts me in weird moods. Makes me feel huge. Makes it difficult to run around. But, on the positive side, increased my bra size.
Here's some updated pics:
Our trip to Bunker Hill Monument with Flat Stanley.
Landon loves towers. This one has 294 steps and we made it.
This was the view.
The USS Constitution with Flat Stanley
First beach trip with Adler and Toby
Landon invented his own snowshoes/skiis
For Mothers Day we went to Mt. Auburn Cemetery. It is a beautiful place.
From the top of this tower in the cemetery, Landon spotted the spires of this "castle" (below).

Last picnic with the Eltons at Piers Park. We will miss our good friends.
We were driving the other day when Landon says "Hey mom, I hope I can go to space someday. Yeah, I want to fly there in a flying saucer!" And I said "Well, aren't flying saucers only for aliens?" Landon then said "Yeah, maybe. But we could dress up like aliens and sneak on the flying saucer and trick them all." Then I asked "Where will we get a flying saucer?" And he responded as if I shouldn't even be asking such a silly question "Target, of course...No, no, no. Not Target. Costco. Yeah, Costco would sell them because they sell really big things." Obviously, we shop only at two stores.
I love this kid. I wish I could hop into his brain in the middle of one of his crazy ideas. Tonight I kept hearing loud thumps coming from his room every couple of minutes. I went in and he had made a landing pad out of all his blankets and pillows and was jumping from the top of his loft bed onto them. He was having the best time. And this morning he put his work-out mat on top of his ladder to use it like a slide. It went straight down to the ground from the top of his bed.
One of my favorite things he does is sing. Especially when he's setting up his army dudes and warrior cars and he's singing "I am a Child of God." He sings this song to Taylor every night now. And now she sings it to herself or her baby. In fact, he's been so good to her lately. He gets her out of bed every morning and brings her and her blankets and doggies and baby into our room. This is a big step for our macho man. He only acts macho. He's a pretty big softy and I love him.

Our little girl is growing up. She's 20 months now! She even has some fat on her thighs. We've all pretty much figured this girl out. She will not be happy until she has eaten breakfast, so don't even try to play with her. In fact, if she's cranky, we know just to feed her. She eats more than Landon at most meals. And she's not picky-about food, that is--clothes are another issue.
She is quite the thespian. She puts on little shows to try and make us all laugh. Tonight she came out of Landon's room with his sunglasses on and started to prance around the house on her tippy toes with her face in the air singing some song she made up. And this morning she put a blanket over her head and tried walking around the house to see if she'd run into anything. She did really good until the toy shelf snuck up on her. Landon and I were laughing so hard! She ran right smack into it and fell backwards. She did that the other day too with out a blanket. She ran into a wall that was all glass. Landon and I laughed pretty hard at that one too because she was so confused. But, don't worry, she didn't really get hurt.
She's definitely a shoe girl. All she wants to wear are her white patent leather church shoes. At first I fought it. But now, I let her wear them everywhere and with everything. She is also playing better with Landon. She'll actually race with him and wrestle with him. My favorite, though, is when she randomly gives him a big hug around his waist. He absolutely loves it when she does this. She adores him (except when he punches her belly) and wants to be just like him. Oh, we love our sweet Taylor.

Megan, I just love reading your blog. I wish I was as good as you are at keeping mine up. I never have my camera with me and we just don't seem to do as many fun things as you guys do! Thanks so much for sharing your lives. Your family is beautiful and I can't wait to see pics of the new babe.
What a cute family! I love all the pictures! You guys seem to have been able to do and see a lot of neat things while being back there! That is great! I agree with Robyn, we need a pic of you! Robyn is in my ward! Funny huh?!!! Your kids are cute Meggie and I can't wait to see #3! When is your due date?
That was quite the blog Mego... I'm impressed:) We miss you guys too and Boston. That picture of Peter jumping off the bench is hilarious. That is such a typical Peter face! Thanks again for emailing me those pics!
