4 years + 2 months...and 1 year + 1 month!

we're just coming off a fun, long weekend, and we had a great time spending a lot of time together as a family. jacks and livi have (typically) been in great moods lately, and go along with wherever we take them, like aaron brothers, the car wash, trader joes...you know, where every kid dreams of spending time. they've also been playing together well, even entertaining themselves for quite awhile without any adult intervention (woohoo!). for instance, when john was shaving today, they were pretending to be santa and riding on their "sled," which was the toilet....

lyla has been doing great. she's picking up speed while walking and i made the mistake of letting her loose in target yesterday...she'd disappear so quickly behind a rack of clothes and then pop out the other side right into oncoming shopping carts.  she's still obsessed with bones: "bo" is still her only word and is the first thing she says when she wakes up (literally while laying in her crib in the dark...even at 5:30am, we chuckle in bed when we hear her on the monitor).

the original two

with the third wheel

always the baby

what are we looking at??

it's amazing how peaceful it is just too look at the water

it's also amazing that we live so close to this view

eating lunch before...

cupcake time!!

breakfast burrito any time of day?
yep...she's definitely one of us!

jacks and livi were invited to a stuffed animal's birthday party...
each kid invited brought their own "friend" along

oh, the ways kids sleep these days

can you even find livi??

they asked me what the word "dimple" meant, and
my description of "a hole in your cheek" didn't cut it

so we took some photos to see some real life dimples

milk in the tub

my trader joes buddies

jacks lecturing on the history of the transamerica pyramid
