He's up...

..at least to his knees and he's got the rocking going.

Fake donkey ride outside the Mexican restaurant!

Carter Enjoys Piglet!

I give full credit for taking this to Maggie..especially the part where the video swings 90 degrees. Enjoy the laughter and your neck workout.

Just call me Dog..Snoopy Dog. This is how I roll.

Sydney has apparently passed the coolness threshold that allows her to wear glasses inside at night.

Coolin' in the exersaucer.

Good morning!

A lazy Saturday morning

Sydney and mommy had fun throwing snowballs and jumping in the snow. Daddy had fun feeling the investment in the snowblower last winter was now a good multi-year decision.

Carter braced the cold temps to see his first big snow.

Carter demanded to be up with us at the table so he tried out the high chair tonight. He fit pretty well but soon realized he might be trapped in a chair for dinner going forward and politely demanded to go back to his old spot.

Carter is learning how to color from his big sister.

I'm sure it's normal development but when I looked down and she said she was practicing writing her alphabet this morning I was just amazed.

First Skate!

Ahhh, a hockey loving dad's dream come true.

That was actually an enjoyable Santa visit...no crowd..happy kids..and some christmas wishes passed along.

Personally, I think he makes a top hat work.

And Sydney having fun and getting nice and tired.

Carters first visit to the tree farm!

Cutie #2

Cutie #1

She insisted that he get in.  We were tired.

Sydney only moments before an olympics worthy front roll. She hit her mark and landed it perfectly. 

Halloween Pics (late)

A little delayed, but just about everything we do is these days :) Here are some pics from a fun Halloween weekend with friends.

Sydney has been watching us with Carter in the baby bjorn and concocted this getup herself so she could play along.

Your typical Halloween shopping trip.
