With the little man of the hour

Pensive potty-trainee

Tummy Time times two

The Day the Crayons Quit is currently Addy's favorite book. Thanks Gramma Lu!!

After our chilly walk around Independence Grove

I mean, this sailor!

Ahoy!

With our nice neighbor, who is one of Addy's good friends

Us with our two (!) giant babies!

this guy is going to be a heart breaker with that smile

Lovin' bath time and his mama

Addy doesn't really like our Christmas tree

Seems she just likes small spaces

First rising of the Joyce Nelson rolls

Ketchikan puzzle crew

Post-early morning feeding

Pancakes with grandpa

Not what it looks like--needed a chair for computer work and found one in the bathroom

Comfy with grandma

Pillow by the tree = happy baby

Addy telling us about Isaac.

Just a cute baby face

Isaac giggles

Fearlessly using the chopsticks at Hibachi

Addy eating her dinner "like a bear"

'Twas the Week Before Thanksgiving

[heart eyes]

He is just as snuggly as he looks too, with a fuzzy head that is to die for.

Addy making me a sandwich at the pretend Potbellys at the children's museum.

The cross-legged nap. This little girl had a fever and fell asleep in the car right after we left the museum

Christmas jammies!!!

Perfect-sized for his cradle

Addy, Jack and Livvy in Santa's sleigh on the 70 degree park day!

Four moms, four toddlers, four babies

With our Maaa Pie: goat cheese, spicy fig jam, spinach, pistachios. YUM

Naked day for potty training.

Yes. Polka dot pants and pink cowboy boots. I bought neither item (hand-me-downs) and they are her favorite.

Ahh, November that feels like September.

One of my new favorite pictures.

The headboard Kit is making for Addy.

"Just add butter."

In which Addy learns to catch salmon.

This is one relaxed baby.

Exhibit B (upside down step)

Exhibit E (previously a book holder in our room, emptied by Addy then refilled). We have had to make our laundry basket off limits because she kept emptying it and filling it with toys and pushing it all over the house.

Soft and cuddly. This kid is a sleepy boy.

Just taking in some sight words

Fun at the park!

We really really really love rocks around here.

Working on our website, will be up in the next few weeks. Mostly done.

"look dad, I made a circle!"

My view for much of the day.
