Baby Feet

Alex loves his feet.  One of the many things that makes him really happy is to get his feet out of his jammies so he can play with them. Plus baby feet are just so cute.



This day at work he had a hold of it and was talking to it.

Christmas Tree

This year, because we had a helper who was super excited, we decided to get the tree and get it up and decorated all at once.
 The boys outside in the rain at McLendon's tree lot.

 Alex woke up in time for family photos.

Trip to the Park

Thanksgiving 2012

Because I had done lots of prep , I wasn't responsible for the turkey, the stuffing or the pies and because dinner wasn't scheduled until 5pm, we had time that morning to:
skype with Nana and make a tool belt out of a sippy cup and underwear,
make paper crowns for both boys
and admire them,
visit with the Wells', 
 and admire the sun lighting up the Olympic mountains on a last minute run to Fred Meyer.


 We did it and only an hour behind schedule!

Survival

In early November I was putting together some emergency supplies so Matthew came up with his own survival kit.
 Everything you need in an emergency: umbrella, ski goggles, peach fluffy scarf.
Helping to make sure Alex will survive.
