Stuck in the Middle With You

Noah and Michael have played together since they were babies. And after going to school for this last year together, they have become great buddies. We went over to play with Michael yesterday and adventure ensued for these two amigos.

Fishing for caterpillars

Diving for slugs

And an All American Boy game of frisbee

These two boys could have entertained themselves for hours. Which left Sarah and I free to sit and drink coffee while baby Collin slept in her arms. And that just left Max. Still too little to be part of these big guy adventures but much too big to sit around with moms and the baby. Poor Max was stuck in the middle.

The following pictures should be viewed through the longing eyes of this 18 month old boy and followed by one heavy sigh.

Got any Alice in Wonderland cake to make that baby grow faster?

Wanted: a little buddy for Max. Big guys and little babies need not apply.

Max. Full of melancholy. 18 months old and stuck in the middle of big and small. A kiss on his head and a whisper of this tonight might be in order. Rivers know this. There is no hurry. We shall get there someday. (Pooh's Little Instruction Book)
