Thanksgiving

Hope you all had a happy Thanksgiving! Nana and Pop Pop are here visiting. We are relaxing as well as taking fun little trips around town. Tomorrow we will set up the Christmas tree, visit the Farmers Market and Sunday going swimming in their hotel!

Leafy Hugs

The Kilbrides were in town! These kids don't  miss a beat despite only having quarterly visits. We had an early Tgiving day meal with a few families and the kids got to play while the adults caught up. Miss you guys - come visit again soon!

Lauren

We miss you, Lauren! So glad to see you!

Tech Time

I think technology has a place in early childhood as long as limits are set. On weekends Shawn teaches Andrew a bit about how to program artwork (above) and how to use our new OLPC XO (below - google it!) He types messages, guides the mouse etc. 

Eitan

Andrew's little buddy is growing up! Eitan is 2.5 now and they love horsing around in the leaves. 

The Girl Next Door

Meet 8 year old Ava, one of Andrew's many ladyfriends. These two primarily hang out in our yard or hers, or the local school playground. She is so sweet and kind to him. He really looks up to her. Figuratively and literally!

The Day They Met

22 month old Andrew is the cow in the middle, Juni is the 14 month old owl, second from the right on the couch. 10/28/11 Halloween Party. They've been best friends since!

Apple Picking

A beautiful day for apple picking offered Juni's mom the opportunity to take some fabulous photos of these two best friends who have been buddies for the past 3 years. In fact, I think we met them at a Halloween party for the kids when the kids were just one year old. I will try to find a picture of them from that long ago and post it!

Knitterbee

Anybody want a scarf? The kid took to knitting like a fish in the water. Impressive.

Mary Poppins and Bert

Yes, they were in the grocery store! Our local food co-op hosted a Halloween celebration. He was a one man band.
