we've been having lots of fun lately with our regular day to day activities. we don't have any more trips planned until the new year, so it's been nice to hang around the city and enjoy our regular school, parks, and restaurant outings. the kids continue to love school, don't appreciate the flu shot, and have developed a love of flossing (hate to admit it, but if they are whining or stalling before bedtime, we threaten them with no flossing…works like a charm!).
 |
| dentist time! they were a little nervous but brought their 'friends' for support |
 |
| for unfamiliar situations like this, jacks is so great about going first |
 |
| he was pleased with his new green toothbrush |
 |
| teeth looked great - no cavities and lots of space in between those choppers |
 |
| liv waited patiently for her turn |
 |
| the famous livi scowl |
 |
| someone's happy to be done with the cleaning! |
 |
| she was a great little trooper too |
 |
| see how fun the dentist can be! |
 |
| we spend an inordinate time with books nowadays |
 |
| reading a stack of 15 books can get tiring |
 |
| thankfully, we have helpers to relieve us of reading duty |
 |
| morning meet-up |
 |
| apparently they were making a restaurant(???) |
 |
| one happy girl |
 |
| crying or smiling…you never know what the outcome will be |
 |
date night at the stanford game (not exactly my dream date,
but sitting with nothing to do for 3 hours was pretty nice) |
 |
| another night out on the town |
 |
| more scooter time! |
 |
| the crew |
 |
| twins! |
 |
| hey, what is that?? |
 |
| what? up there?? |
 |
| look do you see it? |
 |
| bones found a squirrel and couldn't contain his excitment! |
 |
| who knew we could all be entertained by a single squirrel for 10 minutes |
 |
they love going to the pet store…
liv immediately puts her baby in a dog stroller and pushes it around the store |
 |
| coffee date so john can get some work done at home |
 |
| warm milk is that much more special in a starbucks cup |
 |
| afternoon stroll with warm drinks and their cars |
 |
| sugar packets are my new go-to for distractions at restaurants |
 |
stopping at our favorite new cafe for a quick pick-me-up on a rainy saturday
(after their flu shot which they did not enjoy!) |
 |
| the face of a great dad |
 |
| out and about with leanne! |
 |
| getting dizzy at the park |
 |
| our little beauty |
 |
so happy leanne does these activities with the kids
(because i sure am not doing them!) |
 |
| wake up, shelby! |
 |
| special preview of frozen at shelby's house (they're first time!) |
 |
| dress-up at bea and teddy's home |
 |
| off to the academy of sciences with leanne |
 |
| we're here! let's go see the reindeer |
 |
| ohhhh, a starfish! |
 |
| abuelo came for a visit, including a surprise pick-up from school |
 |
| he also swung by the house to join john in dropping them off at school |
 |
| those are big smiles for morning drop-off |
 |
| we finally got some rain in the bay area! |
 |
| showing off how they can pump on the swing |
 |
| some days the swings get switched out for this amazing thing |
 |
| they never let us have a turn though |
 |
| squirter art |
 |
| working on those gross motor skills |
 |
| it doesn't seem like that long ago she was learning to walk...now this? |
 |
| i wish her expression was always this sweet =) |
 |
| the babies were waiting patiently for liv and jacks to arrive in the morning |
 |
| nothing but trouble |
 |
| not an unsual site - livi hanging around and jacks intensely focused on something |
 |
the kids baked muffins for the teachers before thanksgiving break…
the train decorations completed the t-day theme |
