Happy New Year!

Happy New Year! 

We had a wonderful evening with 3 families coming to visit.

Neighbors - Ross and Catherine with Carmen (5) and Francesca (3)

Friends from LA - Jeremy and Karen with Marissa (5) and Ari (3)

Friends from SF - David and Marianna with Isaac (2)

We had a great time eating snacks, playing charades, roasting smores and celebrating the New Year (on East Coast time at 9pm!).

Halloween 2013

 

 

Kayla's dad hired a face-painter which was a great addition to Cole's costume and the kids had fun playing around and eating pizza (energy!) before going out to trick-or-treat.

Cole's costume was a really big hit.  Every house had like 5,6 kids at the door at the same time, and all I heard was "Oh, Scooby!  Here's your treat!"

Hope everyone had a fun and safe evening!

We have a 'dance party' at the house every evening around 6.30pm. That's why you're hearing the background music. It's an opportunity for the kids to play together, let out some energy before bed time and just general silliness. 

Lately Maks has been walking more and more, getting more confident turning and squatting. Soon he'll be running after Cole all around the house. 

Maks walking

Well, you all know by now that Maks can take a step or 2. But...there's never been recorded evidence. But here we finally have a sighting of 9-10 steps completely on his own. It's official, we'll just say Maks "walked by his 1st birthday" and remember it as such! :)


And here's a new one from today:
