Autumn fun

There is a lovely place, near our home, of which many people are unaware. It houses wonderful play areas for children. We visited just a couple of weeks ago, with our friends, the P family. Lil G had a great time playing with his friends. Mama and dada had a great time relaxing and enjoying the outdoors.

TatoHeads

Lil G is in love with playing with "TatoHeads". That's Mr. and Mrs. Potatohead to everyone else. Many times, when mama comes downstairs and lil man has been playing with dada, there is an entire squadron of Tatoheads, all ready for the day.

Da mama loves Tatoheads too, as they 1.) are cute 2.) are lovable 3.) build manual dexterity.

Cookie decorating

Lately, mommy and Lil G have been working on shapes and letters by cookie cutting. Lil G is pretty good at it! He does need help with placement of the shapes, in order to not overlap. But, he is learning patience and listening skills along the way.

Visits from Uncle Rodger

Uncle Rodger was here last weekend, visiting to celebrate birthdays. How can you tell when Uncle Rodger is here? Shananagans ensue, like sticker beards.

Expanding the Pond!

We found out a few months ago that our little pond is not going to be so little any more! We have another little fish (Minnow) due at the end of March.

It has been such a blessing, as we tried for a very long time to expand our brood. So far, things have gone great, despite the morning sickness. It's all worth it though! The little one is doing great and is right on track!

2011 Inaugural Lighting of the Fireplace

Tonight, it was cold and rainy. Thus, a perfect night to light the fireplace for the first time this fall. G had a great time looking at the fire and warning us all that it is "sooo hot!" It is so nice to be able to show him new and interesting things, even if he technically has seen them before.




"Watch out dada! It's hot!"
