Tinkerbell Fever

Our little fairy.

Faedon sledding....

Watch out below!!

This thing isn't going to push itself...or is it?

Kellyn still is not quite understanding how her scooter works. She seems to think she stands on it, and it should just scoot along and take her wherever she wants to go. The fact that it doesn't work out that way is highly frustrating to her - especially this day - when she had also decided not to nap. So she spent the entire time on the scooter, barking at me to fix the scooter...FIX IT MAMA!

Our Little Lion

Every so often, Terry and I look at Faedon and see glimpses of what he'll be like as a young man. This picture is perhaps my favorite example of that...he was scouting the soccer field, looking for other kids willing to take him on for an impromptu one on one. Such fierce concentration.



And this one, taken at lunch the other day is another fun example...he was intently trying to understand how to use chopsticks.



And then there's this one. His little mind was seriously intent and focused on playing Indiana Jones, while his hands were flying.



He's just growing up so fast.

Car ride

Who's that little face peeking over my shoulder?

Snow

So we've had a crazy weather week here in Seattle...very cold and snowy. Basically, the city has been shut down since Monday...and our hilly neighborhood has been eerily quiet since no cars can move. But the kids are loving it!

Juice box thief

Kellyn was caught red-handed, sitting on her blankie enjoying a stolen juice box. And she was none too pleased to be found out....

Quiet time

Faedon and Kellyn both love coloring and painting...it's one of the few activities they can do together relatively peacefully. Here they are this morning, sharing some quiet time.

Kellyn

Adorable. Maddening. Clever. Curious. And almost always laughing. Our little peanut always amuses.

Halloween!

Once again, we went to the top of our neighborhood with the Childs' family for trick or treating. This year, Faedon was Iron Man, Kellyn was Minnie Mouse (sans ears) and Jack and Ryan were Dracula and Batman.

A visit to Whatcom Falls

Last Saturday, we took a trip about an hour or so north of the city to Bellingham, WA. The trip up was gorgeous...beautiful fall days with lots of foliage to admire as well as views of the San Juan islands. Once up there, we stopped at Whatcom Falls for a bit - a small falls with a gorgeous stone bridge and some great little hiking trails, perfect for small legs.

Both Kellyn and Faedon had fun trying to pick up as many leaves as possible....Faedon was most interested in finding the BIGGEST leaves he could, while Kellyn was trying to get as MANY as possible. Took us a while to walk a very short distance...
