Christmas. Only a few months behind.

Nathan was given a little piano for Christmas. This is a video of him dancing to a beat being played on it. He had eaten 2 Reeses from his stocking before this which I believe added to the hyperness of the dance. What a crazy kiddo.

More Garden Pics (can't help myself)





I thought I would post a few more pics of our developing garden and one of the few creatures that inhabit it. I am so proud of our boys and the love that they have for the garden and awe they are showing for the sights and smells of all the plants (basil, tomato, marigolds and carrots to name a few). It is amazing how much time can be spent in the garden just looking at and smelling everything.

Nicholas' Birthday (from October)

For Nicholas' birthday this year we took the kids to the Oregon Zoo. My Mom and Al, Robert's Mom, Brother, Sister-in-Law and their 3 little ones joined us. The kiddos had a lot of fun even though at the beginning of our day Nicholas and his cousin Garrett got separated from our group. It was awful. We all thought someone else was watching them and no one realized they weren't with us until we were at the next animal exhibit. Amanda finally realized they weren't with us and luckily she chose the right path to run searching for them on. Thankfully Garrett had been told that if he was ever separated from his parents that he should stay right where he is because they will come back and find him. So he was waiting patiently with a smile on his face when Amanda found them. Unfortunately, Nicholas was not so calm. His Mommy and Daddy never thought about talking to him about the possibility of getting separated from us. Lesson learned. So after finally calming Nicholas down and reassuring him that he was okay and safe now, we continued with the rest of our exhausting day at the zoo. More exhausting for the adults than the kids. How does that work? Over all, we had a very nice time and the kids really enjoyed it.

To understand your parents' love you must raise children yourself.

I thought I'd share some of our family's musical talent with you all. This was at the children's museum in Klamath this last Saturday. I'm so proud!! :-) Grandparents- this is not an idea for a Christmas present!
