Ryan absorbs food via all possible mechanisms
Jasmine and Elliott play nicely together for hours - really! Amazing!
Jasmine helps Mike make chocolate cookies
Peek-a-boo!
Hmm, maybe this'll help him sleep
(seriously, it's just sparkling cider)
Elliott tries on a Pooh bear costume
he is very disappointed that he can't wear the whole thing, and throws a fit, insisting that it's NOT too small
Lorelei plays peek-a-boo with Elliott
one happy girl
after a messy pureed carrot experience, Lorelei self-cleans with some water
hey, I'm getting the hang of this! (the entire kitchen was splattered)
Lorelei in a cute Christmas outfit from Grandma Lucy - standing up like a big girl
enjoying some drawing
snuggle time
Orin and his tower
Lorelei puts the final touches on her city (actually, every tower she looks at instantly crumbles to dust, but she loves trying)
ah, her true motive becomes clear
block thief strikes again
Entropy Boy crashes through the blockade
little cuteling
what's so funny? Lorelei loves watching Elliott
fun with glitter glue (our house is forever sparkly)
Lorelei in her christmas soaker, playing with a new giraffe toy
Elliott and Nana take turns tooting the train whistle
blurry but cute - Lorelei wants nothing but to walk
C'mon Nana!! (can you feel the lower back pain here?)
the next day, Elliott runs to his new tool set from Grandma Nancy and sets to work
Babe helps too
"you use this wench..."
Elliott and Mike go outside for hours in the woods in the rain and come back soaking wet to the core
and happy as can be! (Elliott sat in rivers, stomped through mud pits and ran down creeks - water poured from his boots!)
Elliott the spelunker
"Hey, who keeps splashing all that water in my face?"
having a great time
escape artist.. end of bathtime for you!
warm and dry, Lorelei tastes and loves tofu dipped in a touch of tamari
Goodness Gracious great piles of tofu! (Elliott will eat a whole block if we let him)
one very sick kiddo surrounded by christmas toys (they both have awful colds this week - sigh)
