Jolly old St. Nick. Not.

Happy holidays, everyone!  Myles and Isla went to see Santa this week. He certainly looked the part, but no personality.  Isla laughed and clapped in the pictures - except for this one.  Ha.  Myles didn't smile at all in the pictures - except for this one.  (Meanwhile, Mommy was jumping up and down in the background making an arse of myself.  Hahhahah.  The things we do for love. and posterity.)

Wishing you a year full of love, health and happiness!  xoxoo

I Love Hot Cocoa!

Myles' latest philosophical discussion... on hot cocoa! Enjoy!

That's rock n' roll, baby!

Myles singing "ABC's" to Isla. I'm not sure she's all that impressed, but we thought it was funny!

Smile for the camera

It's picture time at Myles' preschool. His are so cute (although I am rather biased!).  Sharing...

Bouncy Chair

Isla loves bopping in the bouncy chair. She'd better enjoy it, she's almost outgrown it!

It's Fall!

It's Fall!  The kids are growing fast!  Isla has gotten her two bottom front teeth, now her two top front teeth, and is working on more. Myles' words and sentences are exploding, and he's curious about the world and everything in it.  This morning's conversation went like this - John:  "Myles, I see a garbage truck!"  Myles: "Yeah, I see it too!  Good eye, Daddy!"  :)

Isla is sweet and watchful, Myles is sweet (albeit a tad jealous) and jumps in with both feet. We're feeling tired but blessed this season.  A few pictures from the past month...including pumpkin carving, Halloween (Myles is Woody from "ToyStory," Isla is a flower),  and learning how to eat (added bonus - check out Isla's crazy hair!).

Daycare Mural

Some pictures of the mural at Myles' daycare I painted last year. I wanted to add some imaginary creatures like Totoro and a falkor but I think it would have gone over some heads!
