Where's Max?!?!

Those of you keeping up with our blog may be wondering if we even have a boy running around the house anymore!  Well, he's still here......but not really running around very much.  The following pictures will tell you exactly where Max has been, most of the summer:)

As you can see, Max has a tiny obsession with Mario!!!  Actually, it's a HUGE obsession......so much that he hums the songs all day long and it's the only topic of conversation he can be engaged in with anybody!!!  Everyday, he anxiously awaits for the clock on the stove to say 12:30!  That's when he's allowed to turn it on for the day.  Turning it off tends to be a very dramatic (or traumatic!) event.  He's getting better about it though!

With all of his playing time, he has become very good!  He finds secret/hidden things that dad doesn't even know where to find.  He'd prefer to play with dad or watch dad play.  He learns so much about the game this way.  All in all, Maxi is our "video gamer."  I've heard that daddy was the same way at this age;)  We may be seeing a Wii in our family's future!
