Just for Fun

A little stroll down memory lane!

(this one was taken today 12/15/11)
I wish I had dates for all the other ones, I'll try to organize that, but today...no time! :-)

First glance

Waking up after his nap to find the Christmas tree in place and full of lights!

The Perfect Tree

Out at the Christmas tree lot looking for the perfect tree. We went a lot earlier this year, so the selection was huge. It was also super cold that day, so we didn't waste a lot of time. Miles thoroughly enjoyed running up and down the rows of trees though.

Uncle Archie

Miles playing with Uncle Archie and his new play food at a recent family dinner.

Oh those cold, dark nights....

Yes, winter is here and it's dark by 5 pm, so this is what we've turned to for our entertainment. Unfortunately, this may have been one of those 'you had to be there' moments.
The second video is cuter because Miles finds the whole situation quite hilarious.

Happy Thanksgiving

Visitor

My sister came to visit us for about a week in early November. She brought a few belated birthday gifts, which were a huge hit. Isaac seemed to take our guest in stride. He called her Aunt Stephanie (and why not, that's what we all call her! :-) ) and was sad to see her go. It was great having an extra pair of hands and eyes around to help me out too. We took a few trips I may not have otherwise. I tested out a mall run, thinking this might be a good way to get the boys some exercise without going out in the cold. I was really thankful she was there, since Miles and Isaac were moving at very different speeds that day. It will take some serious planning and organizing to take them by myself. I'm sure I'll be desperate come January/February, so plenty of time to strategize!

Giant box of balls=serious fun!

New Legos and Lego boards.

A quick stop back in Salt Lake after her departure. She was driving a car back to Seattle from Louisiana, so we got to see her for a night and half a morning.
