Our March ::

Here are some images of our life in March.  I did a somewhat better job of archiving this month, but still, I like compiling them all in one place.

March is still very wintry, but because the light is increasing so quickly all the time, we started taking some lovely evening walks.  I think we are all feeling more upbeat in general.

June is increasingly a big girl.  Hardly any toddler left in her.  She helps her brother put his coat on and similar things.  She is like a little mama.  She has started to branch out with her color preferences - now loving blue and green and not so much pink and purple.  She's even started wearing jeans a lot.

Miles is a love bug.  Always hugging on mom.  He is smart, puts things together easily.  Has a great vocabulary and talks a lot.  He's so damn cute too.  It's hard to think of what may have been different last month from this one.  Somewhere I have a list of all his funny words, like glubs (gloves).  I don't think I've posted it yet, but will soon.

Dinner at one of our favorite places.

Playing together.

Milo Silhouette.

Alaskan girl.  Going home to her igloo.

Miles.  He has almost ditched that green plug for good.  Almost.

A cave is a nice place for a picnic

A cave is a nice place for a picnic.  Especially when it is made of snow.





And you made it with your Dad over many afternoons of shoveling.

And it is in the front yard.

And Mom makes hot food to eat inside.
Like Spaghettio's.
And pizza.

Now how is that for a lovely weekend afternoon?

P.S. It is evening time.  The kids are "jammied" (as Milo says), and they are shrieking and giggling and laughing in their room with their Dad.  I just might have given them too much leftover Halloween candy for dessert.  It is so great while it lasts... but I just know it will end in tears.  Or maybe not?

Anyway, all this crazy cacophony is my soundtrack for this post, and I like it.

Our February ::

I want to be a little bit better about sharing and documenting photos.  Time goes by so quickly.  I am hopeful that I can keep this up once a month.  Maybe next time I will try to get all chronological and fancy... Ha!

If you click on the photos, it will take you to my flickr page.  You should be able to see a few more photos there.

Just being June.

A little Pre-School Adventure action.

Trees in reflection.  Sort of.

I finished the back of the alphabet cards.

Mall time on a cold day.  They have these rides for the kids that are worth it for 50 cents.

Such a sweet little lipstick lover.

Um, can I wake you up now?

My boy.

Drawing on the storm door.  She loves it.

In summer, I hope we don't do this so much.

Adam went on a night urban assault ride with his buddies.

Adam's Valentine.

Asleep on the couch.  Home sick.

Make Up Girls.  Need I say more?

June writes my name on everything.

Adam fixed the table.  There are still a few gaps, but it is waaay better.

We were blowing bubbles out on the porch and Miles immediately dumped all of his liquid.
He does it every time.

Some Scenes from Our Celebration ::

I have to hustle off to work this morning.  But before I go, I want to share some photos of our Thanksgiving.  We had some dear new friends over with their daughter and little baby twins.  Nana Liz and Pops were here from Thanksgiving.  And we can't forget my Mom and Karl.

Is it done yet?

More Flagstaff Pictures

A few weeks ago I posted about our trip to Flagstaff. I also linked to some great photos on Emery's blog. I am finally getting around to posting some of my own shots. I like them.
